How We Fabricate Foam PVC
Foam PVC is CNC-routed or saw-cut to size. It can be heat-bent for simple curves and is easily bonded with adhesives. Ideal for V-groove folding to create 3D shapes from flat sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can foam PVC be used outdoors? +
Foam PVC is primarily an indoor material. For short-term outdoor use it performs adequately, but for permanent outdoor signage we recommend aluminium composite panel or solid PVC.
Can you print on foam PVC? +
Yes, foam PVC has a smooth surface ideal for UV-print, screen printing, and vinyl application. We supply pre-cut blanks ready for printing.
What's V-groove folding? +
V-groove routing cuts a channel into the back of the sheet, allowing it to be folded into 3D shapes like boxes and letters without visible joints.
