Correx Signage
Correx, which is also sometimes referred to as ‘corex’, is perfect for digital printing, whether your artwork has full colour photo quality images and designs or just single colour lettering. Our fantastic technology can even print in white, which looks amazing on dark solid background colours such as red, blue and black.
Made from polypropylene resin, Correx board has corrugated plastic core sandwiched between two smooth layers. We tend to use 4- and 6-mm sheets for the vast majority of printing we do, but it’s available in a wide variety of colours and thicknesses.
Durable Correx is perfect for a huge range of applications because it can be used for graphics and displays of any size, indoors or outdoors; it can be printed on both sides and even cut into shapes for added impact.

Demonstration and election signs
When it comes to elections there are always lots of signs and graphics needed by the individual political parties. Over the years we have produced every kind of election sign you can think of for virtually every political party.
The most popular Correx election signs are large format 8 x 4ft promotion boards for local MPs that you’ll see outside party HQs and voting stations but we also print thousands of smaller roadside political signs. Of course there’s usually a good few orders for placards from groups with opposing views!

Bollard post signs
Correx can be cut to the specific size you need, then scored so that it can easily be bent and wrapped around post and bollards.

Correx Printing FAQs
What is Correx?
Correx is the brand name for a plastic sheeting that is widely used in the printing industry. It is made from Polypropylene and looks a lot like corrugated cardboard.
It is has three layers – two tough flat surfaces top and bottom with a corrugated middle layer.
Correx’s fluted design makes it shock absorbent and very lightweight. Other brand names for the same material include Corriflute, Coroplast and Polyflute.
What is Correx sheet used for?
Because it is lightweight, durable and inexpensive, corrugated plastic Correx is used extensively for outdoor printed signs and advertising boards as well as indoor retail point of sale graphics and free standing display units.
Correx is flame retardant, weatherproof and easy to fix in place using plastic ties, screws, bungees or glue.
What are Correx’s limitations?
While it’s long-lasting and reliable for indoor applications, Correx can warp, discolour or go brittle when used outside for a long time. It’s worth bearing in mind that your sign might start to fade after approximately 12 months.
Can Correx boards be recycled?
Correx board is very durable and can be re-used for many different purposes. Once you no longer need it, it’s best to have your signs or display units recycled.
The Polypropylene isn’t biodegradable but most waste collection companies will take your old Correx signs and graphics to designated plastics recycling processing centres. Look out for a triangle with the number 5 printed on your signs, this means it is made from Polypropylene and is one of the safer kinds of plastics.
Are there eco alternatives to Correx?
There are a number of excellent sustainable alternatives now to Correx including Dispa which is made from 100% recycled materials and fully recyclable Bubbleboard.
How does Correx compare to Foamex or Dibond?
Correx is a budget corrugated plastic material that is ideal for large quantities of printed signs or graphics; in shops and showrooms, for example.
Foamex is a higher grade material that has a very smooth finish and is therefore better for achieving high definition, photographic quality images.
Dibond is stronger than both Correx and Foamex. It’s an aluminium sheet which costs more but lasts a lot longer. That makes it the perfect material for permanent exterior signage and advertising hoarding boards.
