Corflute Signs & Corflute Printing

Light, waterproof and cheap enough to order in quantity — corflute is the board for signs that need to go outside, get moved around, and survive the day.

What corflute is

Corflute — also sold as fluteboard or corrugated plastic — is a twin-walled plastic sheet with hollow channels running through it, a bit like cardboard but made of plastic. That structure is what makes it light and stiff at the same time, and because it is plastic it does not go soft in the rain the way cardboard does.

What people use corflute signs for

• Event directional signs — arrows, parking, entry, toilets, registration. The signs that tell people where to go from the car park to the room.
• Sponsor and fence signs — sporting clubs, school fetes, fun runs and markets.
• Temporary outdoor signs — site notices, open days, short-term promotions.
• Large-quantity runs — when you need twenty or two hundred of something, corflute keeps the per-sign cost down.

Corflute, foam board or ACM?

They solve different problems, and picking the wrong one is the most common way to waste money on signs.

• Corflute — light, weatherproof, cheap in quantity. Best for outdoor and temporary signs that get moved, staked or cable-tied.
• Foam board — a smooth, matte, rigid finish that looks sharper up close. Best for indoor signs on easels: welcome signs, seating charts, presentation boards. Not for outdoors.
• ACM (aluminium composite) — rigid, heavier and much longer-lasting. The right board when a sign needs to stay up for months or years rather than for an event.

Tell us where the sign is going and how long it needs to last, and we will tell you which board it should be on.

Sizes, shapes and finishing

We print corflute up to 1.2m × 2.4m as a single panel and cut it to any outline — arrows, rounded corners, logo shapes. Tell us how each sign is going up — staked into grass, cable-tied to a fence, or fixed to a wall — and we finish it to suit. Sets of numbered or individually worded signs are printed with variable data, so twenty different directional signs is one job, not twenty.

Pricing

Corflute is priced by size and quantity, and the per-sign cost drops sharply as the run grows. Send the size, the quantity, and whether it is one design or several, and we will quote it exactly.
