PVC foam board is a rigid sheet with a fine closed-cell core and a smooth matte skin on both faces - light enough to carry one-handed, stiff enough for a sign panel. Jin Yu supplies PVC foam board and KT board from 1 mm to 20 mm, in white and colours, sheet size 1220×2440 mm and other formats.

Two production routes exist, and they feel different in the hand. Celuka process forms a harder outer skin - the stiffer choice for screen printing and routed 3D lettering. Free foam is uniform matte through the section, easier on the budget, ideal for UV flatbed printing and vinyl overlay.

On site the sheet behaves where wood does not: it will not rot, warp or split when it gets wet, cuts with a knife or router, and takes paint, glue and screws. That is why shop signs, exhibition panels, hoarding and model making keep coming back to it.

Sheets ship from Foshan under ISO 9001 to buyers in 50+ countries - custom thicknesses, colours and sizes are routine, both faces film-masked on request, free samples for testing before volume orders.

How to Choose: Free Foam vs Celuka

For printing & mounting

Pick free foam. It is lighter, cheaper, and its matte surface takes ink well for posters, exhibition panels and photo mounting.

For CNC routing & 3D letters

Pick Celuka. The solid skin gives clean, chip-free edges and higher rigidity for channel letters, displays and furniture.

For outdoor & long-term use

Choose thicker gauges (10 mm+) with B1 fire rating and confirm UV-stable formulation with your supplier.

For budget jobs

Free foam is the lower-cost option for short-run, indoor signage where rigidity is not critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers specific to this product category.

PVC foam board or acrylic for my sign?
Different jobs. PVC foam is opaque, cheap, easy to rout and screw - the workhorse for sign panels, hoarding and lettering substrates. Acrylic is for anything that needs a glass-like face: light boxes, premium lettering, displays. Many signs use both - foam board body, acrylic face.
What thickness should I use?
1-2 mm for posters and overlays, 3 mm for shop signs and display panels, 5-10 mm for routed lettering and standing panels, 10 mm and up for construction hoarding. Tell us the span and fixing and we will suggest one.
Does it survive outdoors?
Yes, in UV-stabilised grades - years outdoors without rotting or warping, which is exactly where it beats MDF and plywood. Direct sun will fade printed colour over time like any plastic.
How do I print or finish it?
UV flatbed prints directly on the sheet, screen printing works well on celuka skin, and spray paint, vinyl overlay or laminated prints all bond fine. The matte skin takes ink without pretreatment.
Can it be bent or shaped?
Gently - warm the line and it bends enough for curved trims and light boxes. It will not give you the crystal clarity of formed acrylic; treat it as a panel and lettering material, not a display glazing.
