Overview
Correx is the corrugated plastic sheet you see cable-tied to railings all over the country. It is light enough to carry a stack under one arm, it shrugs off rain, and it does not mind being left out for weeks.
Correx board printing for everyday jobs
- Lettings and sales. A landlord ties an A1 to-let board to the front railings with a phone number big enough to read from a car.
- Building sites. Site rules, parking notices and a contractor's name on the gate.
- Campaigns. Dozens of A2 posters for a local election or a planning objection, all the same design.
- Events. Arrows from the main road to the field, pointing the way to parking and toilets.
3.5mm or 5mm?
3.5mm is the everyday choice for smaller signs and big runs. 5mm is stiffer, so it is the one for larger boards like 700 × 1000 mm or 1000 × 1000 mm, and anything in a windy spot. Both come single or double sided. Double sided is worth it for signs on stakes that people pass from both directions.
Holes and shapes
Choose drilled holes in all four corners, the top corners only, or none. Corner holes make cable-tying to a fence quick; top holes suit hanging. Want an arrow, a house or a speech bubble? Add a profile cut and the board is cut to your design's outline.
Artwork, timing and delivery
Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or pay for our artwork service. A person checks every uploaded file for free. Standard production is 3 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, express from 2, saver 5. Order one board or up to 1000. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; the delivery page has the details. Deciding between boards?

Before correx board printing for a roadside or estate agent sign, note that outdoor signs fall under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Most to-let and short-term site boards are allowed without an application if they stay within the size limits, so check those, and ask the council if in doubt.

Questions
Quick answers about correx board printing.
Who handles my Correx board order?
FatPrint takes the order and a person checks your file before anything is made. Each Correx board is made to order for you, then sent by courier with tracking. Questions along the way? The question box on this page reaches a person.
Which material is used for the Correx boards?
Full colour print on 3.5mm Correx or 5mm Correx. Prices start at £19.84. If you are after a different material, message us from the Contact page.
How big do these come?
Smallest is A4 (210 × 297 mm), largest is 1000 × 1000 mm, with 10 more in between, including A3 (297 × 420 mm). Measure your space first so your Correx board fits. Prices start at £19.84 and change with the size you pick.
How fast can I have my Correx board order?
Pick Saver (5 working days), Standard (3 working days) or Express (2 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. Courier delivery follows in 1 to 3 working days. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more. Sizes over 3 m on a side, such as 1000 × 1000 mm, go by specialist courier for £15 added once to the order.
Which options does this Correx board have?
12 sizes from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm, material (3.5mm Correx or 5mm Correx), sides printed (single sided or double sided), lamination (gloss one side, none or matt one side), drilling (all corners, no or top corners) and profile cut (no or yes). Every combination is priced on this page, from £19.84.
Do you check the design I upload?
Every upload is looked at by a person first, and nothing is printed until it passes. If anything needs fixing on your Correx board order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of Correx Boards?
Picked the way the page first loads, with 3.5mm Correx, A4 · 210 × 297 mm and single Sided, Correx Boards come to £19.84. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £19.84 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Is delivery extra on top of the price of Correx Boards?
Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £19.84 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. The very largest sizes go as oversize parcels, adding £15 to the order once. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.
Do the biggest sizes of Correx Boards cost more to deliver?
A flat £15 is added once per order when it contains an item longer than 3 m on a side (banners) or bigger than A0 (boards), because those need a specialist courier. Here that covers 1000 × 1000 mm. Three of them still pay it once. Smaller sizes travel normally. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). The biggest sizes of these Correx boards go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Correx Boards?
Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before Correx Boards are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Which artwork services are offered with Correx Boards?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. On this page, Correx Boards start from £19.84.
Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?
Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these Correx boards the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What material are these Correx boards?
Think of the boards you see at car boot sales, school fetes, open houses and elections: that is Correx. It is fluted polypropylene, a plastic sheet with hollow channels running through it, which keeps it light, stiff and waterproof. Available for Correx Boards as 3.5mm or 5mm Correx.
How big or small can Correx Boards be?
The table has 10 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £19.84; at the top, 1000 × 1000 mm costs from £83.13. Need something in between? Type in your own width and height, anywhere from 100 mm to 2440 by 1220 mm. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.
How do people usually fix up these Correx boards?
Putting up Correx Boards takes very little kit. Holes can come ready made: choose all corners or top corners under Drilling when you order. Then a handful of cable ties for a fence, or a stake or two; ties through the flutes hold firmly. If the wall is smooth and indoors, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads avoid drilling altogether.
And the largest Correx board, 1000 × 1000 mm: how much is that one?
From £83.13, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
Could you price a 1000 × 500 mm Correx board for me?
From £60.26, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for these Correx boards is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each Correx board is made to order for you.
How many Correx Boards can I buy at one time?
Anything from 1 to 1000. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 1000, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these Correx boards cost from £19.84.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these Correx boards?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Correx Boards begin at £19.84, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £19.84 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?
Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. The biggest sizes of these Correx boards go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
Our event is close. Can Correx Boards be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and Correx Boards can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £26.45, where Saver is £19.84 and takes 5 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
Can I send a Word or Canva file for Correx Boards?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. If you have no file, you can build the design for these Correx boards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these Correx boards?
Big items seen from a distance only need 100 to 150 dpi at full size. So a 1000 × 1000 mm layout wants about 3,937 by 3,937 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for these Correx boards go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 1000 mm, 10 in all.
Once I finish designing these Correx boards online, is the file mine to keep?
Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these Correx boards the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Can you explain the profile cut setting for Correx Boards?
A profile cut follows the edge of your artwork, so the board ends up shaped like your design rather than a plain oblong. Put a cut line in your file, or tell us and we will add one. For Correx Boards the list runs yes or no. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
Can these Correx boards have print on the front and the back?
They can: switch Sides Printed to double sided for Correx Boards. Two-way printing makes sense for boards seen coming and going, such as one hanging on a fence beside a lane, or pushed into a lawn on a stake. Send two pages, front then back, and tell us if the back is simply a copy of the front.
Does the sides printed option I choose make a difference to Correx Boards?
The sides printed option has 2 settings: double Sided or single Sided. One side means the design appears on the front only. Two sides puts print on both faces, handy when people approach from either direction, for example a flag on a pole or a sign that faces two ways. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these Correx boards, the material can be 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx.
Which material would you suggest for Correx Boards?
It is what your design gets printed onto. For Correx Boards the list runs 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear. Switch between the options on the page and the total moves with you, so comparing costs is quick.
Lamination on Correx Boards: how do the choices differ?
The lamination option has 3 settings: matt (One Side), none or gloss (One Side). A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these Correx boards, the material can be 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx.
Do plumbers and heating engineers buy Correx Boards from you?
For boiler swaps, heating jobs and callouts, look under Plumbers & Heating Engineers in the shop: Correx Boards are listed there. Prices begin at £19.84; 10 sizes are listed, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm); the material choices are 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. People buying for that kind of work often add Plumbing & Heating Starter Pack or Door Hangers. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
Could these Correx boards do the job at a community garden or an allotment gate?
Correx Boards can do it, if you match the board to how long the sign stays up. For an open day, a plant sale or a season of notices, Correx does well: it is waterproof, easy to carry and cheap to replace. Ask for holes drilled in all corners or top corners and the board arrives ready for cable ties or screws.
Would Correx Boards be useful for builders and contractors?
Yes: Correx Boards sit in our Builders & Construction section, next to other things builders and contractors buy for sites, extensions and renovations. Prices begin at £19.84. 10 sizes are listed, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm). The material choices are 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. Also in that section: 24 Hour CCTV in Operation Site Banner and Warning This Site Is Dangerous Sign. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.
I work with landlords and letting agents. Are these Correx boards something we could use?
For lets, rental homes and shared buildings, look under Landlords & Letting Agents in the shop: Correx Boards are listed there. Prices begin at £19.84; 10 sizes are listed, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm); the material choices are 5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. People buying for that kind of work often add NCR Invoice Books or Compliment Slips. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
Could we put these Correx boards up on a building site or around works?
Correx is a natural fit: cheap, light and happy in the rain, which makes it the everyday board for temporary site signs. Whoever puts them up should tie off every fixing point firmly and check again once the wind has been blowing. You will also find these Correx boards in our Plumbers & Heating Engineers, Landlords & Letting Agents and Builders & Construction sections.
How many weeks will these Correx boards stay looking good outdoors?
Rain is no trouble for Correx Boards: Correx cannot rot and does not take in water. What ages it is sunlight and knocks, which is why it is sold as a temporary sign, good for a season of events rather than several years. For something that stays up for good, such as a club house name board, choose Dibond instead.
How do I pick the right drilling for Correx Boards?
With drilling, the corners arrive with holes already made, so the board can go straight up with screws or cable ties and you never need to get the drill out. For Correx Boards the list runs top corners, no or all corners. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
How do Correx boards go up on railings, or on a stake in the grass?
Railings: have Correx Boards drilled and use cable ties, two along the top edge and two along the bottom so it stays still in the wind. Grass: feed a garden cane or wooden stake into a flute along the base, then tap it into the ground.
Where do Correx Boards and A1 Correx Boards differ?
Comparing Correx Boards with A1 Correx Boards, this is what changes. Sizes: 10 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on the other. Opening price: £19.84 on this page and £42.91 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get Correx Boards, or would A0 Correx Boards suit me better?
Comparing Correx Boards with A0 Correx Boards, this is what changes. Sizes: 10 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and only A0 (841 × 1189 mm) on the other. Opening price: £19.84 on this page and £83.13 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
How would I decide between A2 Correx Boards and Correx Boards?
Set Correx Boards beside A2 Correx Boards and a few things differ. Sizes: 10 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and only A2 (420 × 594 mm) on the other. Opening price: £19.84 on this page and £31.51 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, these Correx boards cost from £19.84.
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for these Correx boards the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
