Correx Signs: Lightweight, Waterproof Printed Boards, Made Fast and Cut to Size in the UK

Correx is a lightweight, rigid sheet of corrugated plastic, made from two flat plastic layers with a ribbed (fluted) core between them. That structure makes it strong for its weight, waterproof, and quick to cut. You may also see it called corrugated plastic, Corriboard, Corflute, or Coreflute. (CONFIRM: preferred wording, as Correx is a brand name)

A Correx sign is simply a Correx board with your artwork printed directly onto it, cut to the size you need. They suit estate agent boards, building site signs, directional and event signs, advertising boards, campaign and election boards, lamp post signs, parking signs, and temporary promotions.

Why Choose Correx Signs?

• Waterproof and weather-ready: The plastic doesn't soak up water or rot, so Correx copes well with rain and damp for short- to medium-term outdoor use. (CONFIRM: weather-resistance and expected outdoor lifespan claims)

• Very light: Easy to carry, easy to hang, easy to put up and take down, which is ideal for temporary signage and large quantities.

• Affordable and good value: Correx is the most cost-effective rigid sign material, so it suits big runs, short campaigns, and tight budgets.

• Quick to make: Printed and cut quickly, so it's perfect when time is tight. (CONFIRM: same-day or next-day availability and cut-off times)

• Any size or shape: From A5 to A0 and beyond, cut to size and shaped if you need it. (CONFIRM: maximum size and custom shapes)

1. Thickness

Thickness changes how stiff a sign feels and where it works best: (CONFIRM: thicknesses offered)

What Makes Us Stand Out

• Honest timings, always: The cut-off and ready-by times we give you are the real ones. If we can't hit your date, we tell you before you order, not after.

• Free artwork check on every order: Before anything prints, we check your file for size, bleed, resolution, and avoidable mistakes, then send a proof for your approval. What you collect is what you expected.

• Made in our own High Wycombe workshop: We print, cut, and finish in-house. No middlemen, no mystery about where your signs are.

• Built for volume and for speed: One sign or a hundred, we keep print quality consistent and the timing honest. (CONFIRM: bulk capability)

• Cut to size, not just printed: We cut Correx to the exact size or shape you need, so your signs fit first time.

• Backed by Discount Sign & Print: Our parent company's workshop and team stand behind us. If your project grows into banners, Dibond signs, or a full shop front, we can handle it all.

• You talk to the people making your signs: Call, WhatsApp, or email and you reach the workshop. No call centres, no ticket numbers.

• Honest advice, even when it's simpler: If Foamex or another material suits you better, we'll say so.

How to Order Your Correx Signs

1. Tell us what you need: Size, thickness, quantity, and where they're going.

2. Send your artwork: Upload a print-ready file, or send your logo and wording and we'll help shape it. We accept PDF, AI, EPS, JPG, and PNG. (CONFIRM: design service and cost)

3. Approve your proof: We check your artwork for free and send a proof. Nothing prints until you say so.

4. We print and cut: Printed at high quality and cut to size in our workshop.

5. Collect them or have them delivered: Ready from High Wycombe at the time we promised. (CONFIRM: delivery options, areas and next-day delivery)

Tips for Correx Signs That Get Noticed

• Keep the message short: Five to seven words work best on a sign read in passing.

• Make text big and bold: If someone can't read it from the distance they'll see it at, it's too small.

• Use high contrast: Yellow on black, white on dark blue, and black on white all read well outdoors.

• Choose the right thickness: Go thicker for bigger boards, windy spots, or signs that need to stay flat.

• Think about fixings: Cable ties, stakes, H-frames, screws, and adhesive suit different surfaces. We'll advise. (CONFIRM: fixings offered)

• Check local rules: Signs on public land, lamp posts, and verges may need permission from your local council.
