Foamed PVC

Miljø

Foamed PVC (also called Forex or foam board) is one of the most versatile panel materials for large format print. The closed cell structure provides a smooth, even surface perfect for sharp UV print, while the panel is light enough for hanging and mounting.

At XL Print we print directly on foamed PVC in all standard sizes and offer contour cutting. The panels are water-repellent and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. PVC is fantastic, but it is still a panel we try to minimise the use of, as we prefer to use other panels that are better for recycling.

Foamed PVC is the popular choice for shop signs, POS displays, information boards and lightweight constructions where durability and precision are in focus.

Foamed PVC is a lightly foamed panel with a closed cell structure and a hard, smooth surface on both sides.

Thicknesses: 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm and 19 mm

Colours: White standard, black in 3, 5 and 10 mm.

Print technique: UV flatbed print

Standard format: Up to 200 x 300 cm

Properties: Water-repellent, self-extinguishing (B1), easy to work with

PVC is fantastic, but it is still a panel we try to minimise the use of, as we prefer to use other panels that are better for recycling.

For customers with higher environmental requirements, we offer alternatives such as honeycomb panels, cardboard panels or recycled plastic.

Versatile use

Used for everything from shop signs and POS to information boards and lightweight constructions — available in many thicknesses.

Professional finish

The smooth surface ensures sharp detail and vivid colours in the UV print, even with detailed artwork.

Water-repellent

The closed cell structure makes the panel water-repellent and suitable for humid environments and outdoor use.

Spørgsmål og svar

De mest stillede spørgsmål om vores ydelser og processer.

Do you offer cutting and milling of printed materials?

Yes, we CNC-mill and contour-cut acrylic, aluminium, foamboard, MDF and other materials in any shape — from simple rectangles to complex contours and letters.

What types of lamination do you offer?

Matte lamination for a muted look, gloss lamination for vivid colours, soft-touch for a velvety surface, and UV lamination for extra protection. Lamination extends lifespan and gives a professional finish.

What is the difference between a mesh banner and a PVC banner?

A PVC banner is dense and opaque — ideal for sharp graphics and outdoor use. A mesh banner has a perforated structure that lets wind pass through, perfect for façade banners and scaffolding. So if your product is going to hang somewhere wind-exposed, you should use a mesh banner.

Can you print directly on boards and hard materials?

Yes, with our UV flatbed printer we can print directly onto acrylic, sandwich panels, foamboard, PVC, wood and many more. Direct print gives a sharp, durable result with no overlay needed. Maximum board thickness approx. 50 mm. Maximum size is 200 × 300 cm.

How large can you print in large format?

Our large format printers print up to 5 metres in width and practically unlimited in length. Banner prints can also be sewn or welded together into huge formats. For board printing (UV flatbed) we handle up to 3 × 2 metres.

What does XL Print do with leftover materials and waste?

We sort and recycle all paper, cardboard and plastic waste. Leftover materials are minimised through optimised cutting layouts and digital workflows. We partner with certified recycling providers for specialist materials.

Do you offer print on sustainable materials?

We use FSC-certified paper and cardboard, recyclable textiles and honeycomb board that's part of a circular production process. We always advise on the most environmentally friendly solution that still meets your requirements for quality and durability.

We work continuously to find new and better materials that can replace or phase out less sustainable products. At the same time we have a clear goal to remove or minimise the use of PVC in our production.

We really appreciate customers who demand sustainability and quality – it challenges us, sharpens our solutions and makes us even stronger than our competitors.

‍

Is XL Print an environmentally friendly company?

Yes – sustainability is a core value for us.
Around 50% of our energy use is covered by solar energy. In fact, our solar panels produce all the electricity we need across the year. Since we can't yet store the energy efficiently, we feed the electricity into the grid and buy it back during the darker months. It's not the perfect solution – but it's still a significantly greener alternative to fossil energy.

In addition, we work continuously to reduce waste, reuse materials and choose greener alternatives throughout production. We offer, among other things, FSC-certified paper and environmentally friendly inks, so you can choose solutions with a lower environmental impact without compromising on quality.

‍

How long do your prints last outdoors?

Our board materials are printed with UV technology, giving an outdoor lifespan of around 3–5 years.
Laminated vinyl prints likewise have an expected outdoor lifespan of 3–5 years under normal Danish weather conditions.

Mesh banners are particularly well suited to outdoor use and have a lifespan of more than 4 years. Correct, professional installation can significantly extend the lifespan of all solutions.

Our dye-sub banners are primarily intended for shorter outdoor periods and have an expected lifespan of 3–6 months depending on weather and placement.

‍

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor print?

Outdoor print requires UV-resistant inks and weather-resistant materials like vinyl, mesh or banner. Indoor print can use a broader selection including paper and untreated boards. We always advise on the right choice.

What materials can XL Print print on?

We print on a broad selection: paper and cardboard, vinyl and self-adhesive films, mesh banner, textile, acrylic and aluminium sheets, foamboard, wood panels and many more. We're happy to advise on the best material choice for your project and placement.

Will I get a proof before you print my job?

No, we don't always send a digital proof for approval before production.
For larger or more complex jobs, however, we're happy to send a digital test print. We always recommend that you review colours, text and layout carefully before production.

For colour-critical jobs we can offer a physical colour proof at an additional charge, so expectations and result match exactly.

We take great care in getting the job right, so we'd rather reach out one time too many than one too few to ensure the right result. The final approval is still your responsibility and acts as a binding acceptance of the job for production.

‍

What file formats does XL Print accept?

We recommend print-ready PDF files (PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4) with at least 300 dpi, 5 mm bleed and crop marks. We prefer to receive PDF files only. Avoid Word and PowerPoint files for print production.
