Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) boards, first introduced in the mid-20th century, and became a popular choice for variety of signage solutions due to their durability, versatility, and affordability.

PVC boards come in different types, such as expanded PVC (also known as foam PVC or PVC foam board) and solid PVC. They offer several benefits for both indoor and outdoor signage applications:

• Durability: PVC boards are known for their durability, lasting up to 5-7 years for indoor applications and up to 2-3 years for outdoor applications. They are resistant to impact, scratches, and general wear and tear.
• Weather Resistance: PVC boards can handle temperatures ranging from -13°F to 140°F, making them suitable for a variety of climates and environments. They are resistant to moisture, rot, and mildew, ensuring their longevity in outdoor settings.
• Lightweight: PVC boards are lighter than many other sign materials, such as wood or metal, making them easier to transport, handle, and install. Please note that expanded PVC, in particular, is approximately 50% lighter than solid PVC.
• Versatility: As mentioned, PVC boards are widely used in a variety of applications, from indoor retail displays and office signage to outdoor real estate signs and promotional banners. They can be easily cut, shaped, and printed on, allowing for custom designs and branding.
• Cost-Effectiveness: PVC boards are a more affordable option compared to materials like aluminum or acrylic, making them an attractive choice for businesses with budget constraints. The global PVC market was valued at around $64 billion in 2020, indicating its widespread use across various industries.

Common use cases of PVC boards include:

• Retail store displays: Showcasing promotions, sales, or new products
• Office signage: Directories, wayfinding signs, and safety notices
• Trade show displays: Custom booths, banners, and promotional materials
• Outdoor signage: Real estate signs, construction site signs, and event banners
