If you can't find it there, please visit our Artwork Templates page for more options.
Whether you're a novice or a professional when it comes to artwork, we're here to give you the guidance needed to make sure your end result is print perfect.
I don't have print-ready artwork, can you design it for me?
If you have the elements, such as text, logos, and images, we can take these and create a print-ready design layout for you at a small additional cost. We have a number of affordable set price packages available to suit any requirements. Many of our products have a design service as an additional extra for instant ordering. For products that don't please contact us to discuss your brief. Visit our in-house design service page to find out more.
I will be supplying print-ready artwork.
Many of our print products have the option to upload your artwork on the product page. If that option is not available, you will receive an email shortly after placing your order with instructions on how to send your artwork files.
In order to avoid any delays in production, please follow our guidelines below to make sure your artwork is ready to go. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch to talk to one of our team.
Resolution - 100dpi At Full Size
Generally, 100 dpi is a good standard for images with the document size set at full size of the large format printed product. For example, if you want to order a 40"×60" print, the image size should be 4000 pixels (40 x 100) by 6000 pixels (60 x 100) at 100 dpi.
100% scale at 100 dpi
50% scale at 200 dpi
25% scale at 400 dpi
10% scale at 1000 dpi
If any dimension of the product is greater than 5000mm, please produce the artwork to scale. For very large artwork such as hoarding walls, 10% scale can be utilised at 1000dpi for images, or use vectors as these will scale perfectly.
Bleed - 5mm All Around At The Final Print Size
If you are creating set size artwork for hardware then please use the product template. If you have ordered a custom size product please ensure you include 5mm of bleed on your design.
You only need to add print bleed to your artwork if the design extends to the edge of the page. If all of your text and images are in the centre of the design and are surrounded by a plain white background, you won't need to worry about print bleed as the edges will blend seamlessly into your overall design. If any element of the design goes right up to the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed on all sides is necessary.
Colours - Please Supply All Colours As CMYK+
Computer screens use RGB, while printers use CMYK. You may ask why this matters? Most colours created in RGB can be closely matched in CMYK but some cannot. If colours are critical we always suggest ordering a printed proof.
Other things you can do to check your colours:
- Use a calibrated monitor (colours vary from monitor to monitor)
- Use a printed CMYK colour swatch to check your colours
- Don't check samples from a desktop printer
- Order a printed proof from us (this may cause an increase in lead time)
Fonts - Please Embed, Flatten, Or Convert To Curves
For large format print, we recommend that the minimum font site is 8pt (point size).
Our preferred file format for print-ready artwork is a PDF, please make sure you embed any fonts for perfect results. With other file formats please ensure fonts used in your design are converted to outlines and include all fonts and images used when you send your files to us.
Do You Need A Proof?
If you are providing print-ready artwork, we do not provide a proof as standard, which enables us to get your print to you quicker. If you require a proof please get in touch with us to discuss. We do provide a free technical file check as standard, as outlined below.
We can provide a machine print proof for the extra cost of £25 plus delivery. This involves printing an A3 proof on the machine that will be used to produce your final print. This will give you an accurate representation of colour. If you are using our design service, we do send out a PDF proof, which is an accurate representation of content and positioning. It is not an exact indicator of the final colour due to the limitations of screens.
Quoted delivery dates for print are from approval of artwork, so please bear in mind that requesting a proof may delay the delivery date of your product.
Delivery
After you have placed your order a provisional despatch and delivery date will be sent to you via email.
Our standard delivery time for printed products is 2-5 working days after artwork has been approved for print. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to ensure we can meet this. Please check that your artwork meets the guidelines above to prevent any delays in approval.
Free Artwork Check
Before we go to print, we will carry out a free technical check on your artwork. If there are any issues, we will contact you to let you know what needs to be changed.

Colour Matching
Our printers and media are of the highest standard and are carefully calibrated to produce vibrant, full colour prints. The process involves CMYK printing and this means it is not always possible to match Pantone colours, but they will be converted to the nearest CMYK equivalent.
If exact colour matching is critical, please send us a physical copy of other printed material, such as a letterhead or brochure, and we will check your file prior to printing. If we cannot achieve a reasonable match we will call you to discuss.
Please send any physical examples to: Discount Displays, 31-35 Wortley Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 3EB.

FAQs
What are your exhibition display boards made from?
Our exhibition panels are printed directly onto high-quality 3mm Foamex rigid PVC boards. This material is lightweight, durable and provides a smooth surface for sharp, professional graphics that are ideal for exhibitions and indoor displays.
Is Foamex the same as foam board (foam core)?
No. Foam board is a lightweight sandwich material that can dent easily. Foamex is a solid PVC board and is much stronger and more durable, making it ideal for exhibitions, trade shows and repeated use.
What size can Foamex exhibition panels be?
We can print Foamex panels to almost any custom size to suit your exhibition stand or shell scheme. Larger panels can be supplied in sections for easier transport and installation, or we can arrange pallet or van delivery for oversized displays.
What thickness are Foamex display boards?
The most popular thickness for exhibition display panels is 3mm. It offers the ideal balance of rigidity and lightweight handling, making it perfect for wall mounting and Velcro fixing on shell scheme panels. If you need extra rigidity for hanging applications, 5mm Foamex is also available.
How do you fit display boards to an exhibition stand?
The most common fixing method for Foamex display boards is self-adhesive Velcro. This allows panels to be mounted quickly and cleanly onto shell scheme walls or other smooth surfaces, making exhibition setup fast and hassle-free. For truss stands, drilled holes and cable ties can also be used, while custom-built stands may use split battens.
Can I just drill my own holes?
Yes. Foamex is easy to drill using standard drill bits, making it a practical option for truss systems and custom-built stands.
What is the print quality like?
Foamex has an excellent surface for printing onto and, combined with our advanced HP large format printers, produces stunning results. We print at up to 1400 dpi for sharp text, vibrant colours and photo-quality graphics that stand out under exhibition lighting.
What is the lifespan of these display boards?
Foamex display boards are highly durable and can be reused across multiple events if handled and stored correctly. They are designed to maintain their print quality and professional appearance over time.
Will a multiple colour design cost more to print?
No. Our digital printing is full colour as standard, so the price stays the same regardless of how many colours, images or gradients your design includes.
Do I need to provide a design?
Many customers provide their own artwork. However, if you do not have the time or facilities to do so, we also offer competitively priced design packages.
Do you print onto the plastic or is there a piece of vinyl overlay?
We print directly onto the surface of the material using durable, UV-stable latex inks. This creates a smooth, long-lasting finish with no vinyl overlay, so there is no risk of peeling or bubbling.
Is Foamex fire retardant?
Foamex is manufactured from fire retardant raw material and is commonly used for indoor displays. If your venue has specific fire safety requirements, please contact us and we can advise on the best option for your event.
Can Foamex be recycled?
Foamex is a PVC material and can be recycled through specialist facilities. We recommend checking with your local recycling provider for guidance on PVC recycling in your area.
How do I clean my plastic sign?
You can easily clean your sign by wiping it down with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to help maintain the print finish.
How do I store my plastic signs?
Store your panels flat in a dry environment and avoid extremes of heat, cold or humidity. Correct storage will help keep them in excellent condition for reuse.
I have got a big order can you offer me a better price?
For large orders and multiple sized panels, we can often offer even better prices. Simply fill out the quote form or call us on 02086645660 for a fast quote.
How quickly will I get my Foamex boards?
Print time depends on our production schedule, but the average despatch time is 3-5 working days. If you have a tight deadline, it is always worth talking to us as we may be able to help.
Will the panels fit my shell scheme exactly?
Yes. We precision cut every panel to your exact measurements, ensuring a perfect fit with no trimming required on-site. This gives you a clean, professional finish across your entire stand.
Are your inks safe for indoor exhibitions?
Yes. We use odourless, water-based latex inks that are ideal for indoor venues. Unlike solvent inks, they produce no harsh chemical smell, making them perfect for exhibitions, conferences and enclosed spaces.
Can I reuse my exhibition panels?
Yes. Foamex panels are durable and designed for reuse, making them a cost-effective solution for multiple exhibitions and events when handled and stored correctly.
What happens if my artwork isn’t set up correctly?
Our team will check your artwork before printing and will contact you if anything needs adjusting. This helps ensure you get the best possible print quality with no surprises.
Are Foamex panels easy to transport?
Yes. Foamex panels are lightweight and easy to handle, making them simple to transport to and from exhibitions. Larger panels can also be supplied in sections for easier movement and setup.
