The EcoScore is our own assessment of the material’s environmental footprint, on a scale of 1 to 5. It says nothing about the quality, and the material must be recycled under the right conditions.

Orders are placed via printvis.be, our own ordering system. There, you can calculate the price based on your chosen size and quantity. You create your own design using the editor within the system, so you do not need to provide a print-ready file.

Frequently asked questions about Solidboard panels

Can Solidboard be left outside?

No. The board is made of paper fibre and absorbs moisture. For outdoor use, choose Biprint, polystyrene or Dibond.

What thicknesses are available?

We print on 1, 2, 3 and 5 mm thicknesses. The largest format is 1600 x 3050 mm.

Can solidboard be put in with the waste paper?

Yes. The board is made entirely of paper fibre and has no plastic coating, so it should be disposed of with paper and cardboard.

Is solidboard the same as corrugated cardboard?

No. Corrugated board has a ribbed core between two sheets. Solidboard is solid throughout, which means the cut edge remains sealed and looks neat.

Can we mill Solidboard to shape?

Yes. We can mill any shape from the sheet, including internal shapes and cut-outs.

How much does a solidboard panel cost?

Solidboard is not listed as a standard option in the ordering module. Please provide us with the dimensions, thickness and quantity, and we will work out the price for you.

What is the minimum order quantity?

From a record.

What is the largest size?

A sheet measures a maximum of 1,600 by 3,050 mm.

Which thickness should I choose?

One and two millimetres for work that remains flat or is hung up; three millimetres for a display that stands upright; five millimetres if the sign has to support itself.

Which should I choose: solidboard or EE-golf?

Solidboard is stiffer and has a tight-cut edge. EE-corrugated is lighter and cheaper, and folds better, so it is the best choice for a box or a display.

How do I submit my file?

As a full-size PDF, with a 3 mm bleed all round, and the cutting line as a separate layer. For a cut-out or an internal shape, please include that line, as we mill exactly what is drawn.

How does Solidboard react to moisture?

It’s like cardboard: it absorbs moisture and then loses its rigidity. A display in a damp room won’t hold up, and there’s no point in putting it outside.

Description Solidboard panels

Solidboard is a solid white cardboard that we stock in four thicknesses. The sheet is made entirely of paper fibre, can be printed directly onto and is recycled as waste paper after use. For in-store displays intended to last a season, it is the lightest and cheapest rigid sheet in our range.

You should choose solidboard when the sign is to be kept indoors and when weight is a factor. A sign made from 3 mm solidboard weighs a fraction of the same sheet of forex, which makes a difference when hanging them up and when sending them to a number of shops. We mill the sheet to any shape, so a silhouette or a cut-out logo does not incur any extra material costs. The 5 mm thickness is for larger panels that need to remain self-supporting, whilst the 1 mm thickness is for inserts and for cards in a display.

Solidboard is not suitable for outdoor use. The paper fibre absorbs moisture, causing the board to warp and the print to peel off. Laminating does not solve this problem, as the edges remain exposed, and we therefore do not laminate this board. For a sign to be displayed outdoors, please consider biprint or to dibond. Also bear in mind the rigidity: solidboard is stiffer than EE wave but less stiff than reboard, so for spans of more than about one metre, a support is required at the rear.
