Why Correx Board Printing is a Smart Choice for Everyday Signage
When you need a sign that’s strong, light, and affordable, Correx board printing is a great option. Whether you run a business, need signs for an event, or are managing a construction site, Correx boards give you the flexibility to get your message out — clearly and quickly.
At East London Printer, we help local businesses, shops, and individuals print custom Correx signs every day. We even offer same day printing in London, because we know time is often tight.
In this blog, we’ll explain what Correx boards are, why they’re useful, and how you can get them printed easily.
What is Correx?
Correx is a type of plastic board. It's also called fluted polypropylene. It’s light, waterproof, and very easy to handle. It feels similar to cardboard but is stronger and can be used indoors or outdoors.
The material has a hollow structure, which keeps it light but strong. It’s often used for temporary signage — but don’t let the word "temporary" fool you. Correx boards can last a good while, especially for short-term promotions or events.
What Can You Use Correx Boards For?
Correx is one of the most versatile materials for signs. Here are just a few ways people use them:
-
Estate agent signs – "To Let", "For Sale", or "Sold" boards
-
Construction sites – Health and safety messages, hazard signs, or branding
-
Retail shops – Special offers, sale signs, or opening hours
-
Events – Directional signage, promotional boards, or parking instructions
-
Schools and community centres – Notices, reminders, and announcements
They’re simple, useful, and affordable — and that’s what makes them so popular.
The Benefits of Correx Board Printing
Let’s break down why Correx signs are so practical:
1. Affordable
Printing on Correx is much cheaper than on metal or wood. If you only need signs for a few weeks or months, Correx is the smarter choice.
2. Fast Turnaround
Because the material is easy to work with, we can print and cut Correx signs quickly. At East London Printer, we even offer same day printing in London if you're in a rush.
3. Light and Easy to Use
Correx boards are very lightweight, which makes them simple to carry and hang. You can fix them with cable ties, screws, nails, or even strong tape.
4. Custom Sizes and Designs
Need a specific size? Want your logo, brand colours, or message printed? No problem. We print all designs in full colour and offer standard and custom sizes.
5. Durable in the Weather
If you need outdoor signage, Correx handles rain and wind well. It won’t fall apart like paper or cardboard, and it won’t rust or rot like metal or wood.
Sizes and Thickness Options
We offer a variety of sizes, including:
-
A4
-
A3
-
A2
-
A1
-
A0
We also offer custom sizes and custom shapes if needed. The most common thickness is 4mm, which is ideal for everyday signs, but thicker options are also available for extra strength.
