Foam PVC is an ideal substrate for mounting graphics and digital print for trade fairs and exhibition stands. It can also be used for internal signs and point of sale advertising as well as safety signs and small exterior signs. It does have the tendency to warp with heat from sunlight and should not be considered for long-term exterior use although warping can be minimised by use of a frame.

Aluminium is a robust material used for road signs and is often used for bending to form signs that have a 3 dimensional look, often referred to as a tray. The material can also be used to cover up existing fascias and shutter boxes to create a more appealing look
ACM - Aluminium Composite Materials are a modern material comprising an aluminium skin to both sides with a plastic inner board. This gives a combination of the lightweight of plastic with the durability of Aluminium at an affordable cost. Like aluminium it can be folded to form sign trays and is often used to produce individual letters. It comes in many colours and finishes
Stainless Steel - Used as a substrate for engraving and for three dimensional and flat cut lettering. Its rust and stain resistance makes it an ideal material for these purposes and minimises maintenance
