What is the difference between sunboard and sunpack?
Sunboard is a rigid PVC foam sheet with a smooth surface, ideal for indoor displays. Sunpack is a corrugated polypropylene sheet that is flexible and waterproof, better for outdoor temporary signage.
Can sunboard be used outdoors?
Sunboard is primarily an indoor material. For outdoor use, we recommend adding vinyl lamination or choosing flex/sunpack alternatives.
What printing method is used on sunboard?
We use UV flatbed printing technology that prints directly onto the sunboard surface, producing vibrant and durable prints.
Is sunboard eco-friendly?
PVC foam boards are recyclable. We also offer eco-friendly alternatives like recycled PVC boards upon request.
Can sunboard be cut into custom shapes?
Yes, we offer CNC cutting and die-cutting services to create custom shapes, letters, and contour-cut designs from sunboard.
What is sunboard material and what is it made of?
Sunboard is expanded PVC (polyvinyl chloride) foam board manufactured through the Celuka process. It consists of a rigid closed-cell foam core sandwiched between smooth, dense skin layers. The material is lightweight, rigid, moisture-resistant, and offers an excellent surface for printing. It's also known by brand names like Sintra, Forex, Palight, and Komatex.
What is the price of sunboard printing per square foot in India?
Sunboard printing prices range from ₹25-80 per square foot depending on thickness (3mm: ₹25-35, 5mm: ₹30-45, 8mm: ₹45-60, 10mm+: ₹55-80), print method (direct UV vs vinyl pasting), and finishing (lamination, edge treatment). Bulk orders of 50+ sq ft receive 10-15% discounts. Photo mounting on 5mm sunboard costs ₹30-40/sq ft including lamination.
How long does printed sunboard last?
Indoors, sunboard prints last 5-10+ years with minimal color fading, especially in UV-protected environments. Outdoors, expect 6-12 months before noticeable degradation. Sunboard is primarily an indoor material -for outdoor applications exceeding 6 months, we recommend ACP, acrylic, or vinyl-pasted options with UV lamination.
Can sunboard be used outdoors?
Sunboard can be used outdoors for short-term applications (up to 6-12 months). However, prolonged UV exposure causes yellowing and surface chalking of PVC material. For outdoor use, we apply UV-resistant lamination and recommend high-density sunboard variants. For permanent outdoor signage, ACP (aluminum composite panel) or acrylic are better alternatives.
What is the difference between sunboard and foam board?
Sunboard (PVC foam) is rigid, moisture-proof, and durable for 5-10+ years. Paper-faced foam board (like Thermocol with paper) is lightweight but fragile, moisture-sensitive, and suitable only for temporary displays lasting days to weeks. Sunboard costs 3-4x more but lasts 50-100x longer. For professional applications, always choose sunboard over paper foam board.
Can you cut sunboard into custom shapes?
Yes, sunboard is one of the best materials for custom shape cutting. CNC routers cut sunboard with ±0.1mm precision, enabling intricate shapes, letters, logos, and dimensional elements. Laser cutting is also possible but may discolor edges. Standard shapes (circles, ovals, rounded rectangles) cost ₹5-10/sq ft extra. Complex custom shapes cost ₹15-30/sq ft extra for CNC programming and cutting.
How do you mount sunboard prints on walls?
Sunboard can be wall-mounted using: double-sided foam tape (VHB tape for permanent mounting), adhesive velcro strips (removable/repositionable), screws with decorative caps (for heavy panels), standoff mounts (for 3D floating effect), picture hanging strips (Command strips for light panels). For panels under 2 kg, high-quality foam tape is sufficient. Heavier panels require mechanical fasteners.
Is sunboard waterproof?
Yes, sunboard (PVC foam) is inherently waterproof -the closed-cell structure does not absorb water even when submerged. This makes it suitable for bathroom signage, pool area displays, and outdoor applications. However, the printed surface may not be waterproof unless laminated. Always add lamination for applications where water contact is expected.
What printing resolution can you achieve on sunboard?
UV flatbed direct printing on sunboard achieves 720-1440 DPI, which is excellent for signage viewed from 1+ meter distance. For photo-quality close-up viewing, vinyl pasting method achieves 2880 DPI. For most commercial signage applications, 720 DPI is sufficient and most cost-effective. Photo mounting should use 1440 DPI or vinyl paste for best results.
Can sunboard be painted or coated after printing?
Yes, sunboard accepts most paints and coatings. It can be spray painted, brush painted (with acrylic or enamel paints), clear coated, and UV varnished. The smooth PVC surface provides excellent paint adhesion. For best results, lightly sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper before painting to improve adhesion. UV varnish can be applied as spot gloss or flood coat over UV-printed graphics.
