Custom Display Boards That Get Your Message Seen, Wherever You Need It

Exhibition Stands, office walls, factory floors and shop windows

A display board has one job: to make people stop, read and understand, fast. A visitor walking past your exhibition stand, a new starter reading the safety board, a parent at the school gate, a customer in your window. They give it a few seconds, and your board has to win them over.

We print custom display boards and poster boards in our own High Wycombe factory, on tough, lightweight boards that stay flat and look sharp. Choose wall-mounted, free-standing, folding or table top boards in any size, from A3 posters to giant exhibition panels. Send your artwork or a rough idea, and we'll check it for free and send a proof before we print.

Display Boards for Every Situation

Start with where your board will live. The right size, material and stand all follow from that.

1. Exhibition Display Boards and Panels

At a trade show you're competing with fifty other stands for the same visitor. Exhibition display boards turn a bare shell scheme booth into a branded space in minutes. We print exhibition panels sized to fit standard shell scheme walls, plus free-standing boards and pole and panel display boards for open floor space. They're light enough to carry in one trip, and rigid enough to look professional all day.

Complete the stand with roller banners, a fabric backdrop for your stand and conference and feather flags to guide people to you.

Best for: trade shows, conferences, careers fairs, product launches and corporate events.

2. Portable, Folding and Table Top Display Boards

Not every event has a big stand. Table top display boards fold out on a trestle table and fold flat into a bag afterwards. They're perfect for a market stall, a community event, a school open evening or a sales presentation. Choose 2-panel or 3-sided (tri-fold) display boards, or free-standing portable display stands that go up without tools.

Best for: events, open days, presentations, pop-ups, fundraisers and sales meetings.

3. Office, Factory and Warehouse Display Boards

The boards your team walks past every day matter too. We print office wall display boards for company values, team photos, office name display boards, project timelines and reception information boards. On the shop floor, factory visual display boards and warehouse display boards show KPIs, safety rules, 5S layouts, floor maps and shift information. They're built tough enough for busy workplaces and easy to wipe clean.

Need people to find their way around too? Pair them with directional and wayfinding signs.

Best for: offices, receptions, factories, warehouses, depots and construction sites.

4. Poster Boards, Photo Boards and Art Display Boards

Poster boards give your print a clean, rigid finish that won't curl, crease or fall off the wall. Popular for A1 poster boards and A0 boards in schools, museums, galleries, churches and shops. We also print photo display boards for weddings, memorials, celebrations and anniversaries, and art display boards for exhibitions and student shows. Pair them with school signage for a joined-up look.

Best for: schools, museums, galleries, weddings, events and retail promotions.

5. Outdoor and Shop Display Boards

Outdoor display boards need to cope with rain, wind and sunlight. We print them on weatherproof materials, from Correx for short campaigns to Dibond display boards for outdoor use that last for years. They're ideal for site information, notice boards, menus and shop display boards. For the pavement outside your door, see our A-board pavement signs.

Best for: building sites, car parks, parks, sports clubs, shopfronts and estate entrances.

Which Board Material?

  • Foamex (PVC display board): Light, smooth and rigid. The go-to for indoor display boards, poster boards and exhibition panels.

  • Cardboard and Re-board style boards: Lightweight and recyclable. Great for one-off events and cardboard exhibition stands.

  • Correx: Very light and waterproof, best for short-term outdoor boards.

  • Dibond (aluminium display board): Tough, flat and weatherproof, for outdoor and long-term boards.

  • Acrylic: Glossy and premium, for receptions and offices. See our acrylic signs.

Design Tips for Display Boards People Actually Read

  • One headline, big: Visitors decide in about three seconds whether to read on. Make the headline the biggest thing on the board.

  • Design for the distance: On exhibition boards, keep key text above waist height and large enough to read from 3 metres away.

  • Fewer words, more white space: Bullet points beat paragraphs. If it takes more than 20 seconds to read, cut it down.

  • Use real photos: People, products and places get more attention than stock images.

  • Tell people what to do next: Scan a QR code, visit the stand, call this number, ask a member of staff.

  • Keep your brand consistent: Use the same colours, fonts and logo as your banners, flags and stand.

How Much Do Custom Display Boards Cost?

  • Size: Bigger boards use more material. A1 and A0 are the most popular.

  • Material: Foamex and cardboard are the most affordable. Dibond and acrylic cost more but last much longer.

  • Format: Flat boards are cheapest. Folding boards, stands and pole systems add to the price.

  • Quantity: Ordering a set of exhibition panels or several boards lowers the price per board.

  • Finish: Matt or gloss lamination, dry-wipe surfaces and fixings.

What are display boards made from?
