Overview

A sign board has one job: get noticed. Party sign board printing here is full colour, edge to edge, made to order.

Where it works

Right for birthday, graduation, christening and party welcome signs. Weddings, birthdays and memorials use them on an easel at the door with a welcome, a seating plan or a photo. Offices and colleges use them for presentations and displays.

Getting the size right

Party sign board printing comes like this: 3 sizes, from A3 up to A1. A1 on an easel is the usual welcome sign; A2 suits a table top.

Party sign board printing: material and finishing

Choose 5mm Foamex (thicker, stays flat at bigger sizes) or 3mm Foamex (light rigid foam board). You can also add printing on one side or both, gloss (one side), none or matt (one side), drilled holes for screwing it up and cutting to shape.

Foamex is rigid and light, so it stands on an easel without bowing. Keep it indoors.

Timing

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Standard production is 3 working days from when your order and artwork are confirmed. Express gets it done from 2 working days. Saver takes 5 and is there if you are not in a rush. Every party sign board printing order is printed to order and sent straight to you from the UK.

Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Also worth a look: event & welcome boards and everything in printed signs & boards. The guide to Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx covers the choice in more depth.

Questions

Quick answers about party sign board printing.

Does my party sign board order come with an easel?

No, you get the printed board on its own. Check with your venue before the day, or borrow one from a school, church hall or club. The board itself starts at £28.04.

Who looks after the order once I have paid?

FatPrint does. Your artwork is checked by a person first, your party sign board is made to order, and a courier brings it to you with email tracking. If anything needs changing, message us from the Contact page.

Which sizes can I get a party sign board in?

There are 3: A3 (297 × 420 mm), A2 (420 × 594 mm) or A1 (594 × 841 mm). Prices start at £28.04 and change with the size you pick.

What is a party sign board made of?

You can have 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex, with the design printed in full colour. Tell us where it is going if you are unsure which suits. It comes in 3 sizes. Prices start at £28.04.

What can I choose when ordering a party sign board?

You can set 3 sizes from A3 (297 × 420 mm) to A1 (594 × 841 mm), material (5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex), 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). The price updates with each choice, so you can compare before paying.

How fast can I have my party sign board order?

Express gets it out in 2 working days, Standard ships after 3 working days and Saver, the lowest price, after 5 working days. Courier delivery follows in 1 to 3 working days. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

Asked by buyers

How much will Party Sign Boards set me back?

£28.04 is where Party Sign Boards start, set up as 3mm Foamex, A3 · 297 × 420 mm and single Sided on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. 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).

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £28.04 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04.

If I buy Party Sign Boards today, when will they leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for Party Sign Boards are Express 2 working days, Standard 3 and Saver 5, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?

Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: 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). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Material choices for Party Sign Boards: 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex.

Could I lay out these signs myself on your website?

Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). For reference, Party Sign Boards are listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

How do I choose between the board options for Party Sign Boards?

Start with where Party Sign Boards will live. The choices are 3mm or 5mm Foamex. Indoors, in a shop window or under cover: Foamex, a light and smooth foamed PVC, with the thicker sheets holding their shape better on big boards.

Can I leave these signs outside?

That depends on the board you pick for Party Sign Boards. Foamex: indoors or in a sheltered spot, because weather and full sun can make it bow. A laminate on the face adds scuff resistance. Whatever the board, strong sun fades print slowly, so a long-term sign lasts better out of full sun.

How do people usually fix up these signs?

Tick holes drilled in all corners or top corners when ordering Party Sign Boards and they arrive ready, so all you add is screws or cable ties. On a wall, use a washer under each screw head and stop before it bites too hard. For smooth indoor walls you would rather not drill, foam tape or adhesive pads do the job.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. 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). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?

From £52.80, 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 signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Can a private person buy a single sign?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £28.04, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £28.04 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04.

How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign cost?

From £38.14, 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. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04.

Is there a minimum quantity for these signs?

The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 1000; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Party Sign Boards cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these signs leave us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04. On this page, Party Sign Boards start from £28.04.

Is there a quicker turnaround for these signs?

Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 2 working days to get Party Sign Boards out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £37.39 on the opening option rather than £28.04. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Material choices for Party Sign Boards: 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. If you have no file, you can build the design for these signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these signs?

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Once I finish designing these signs online, is the file mine to keep?

Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm). Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Can you explain the material setting for Party Sign Boards?

The material option has 2 settings: 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. It is what your design gets printed onto. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex.

Can these signs have print on the front and the back?

Yes: set Sides Printed to double sided when ordering Party Sign Boards. That is worth it wherever people pass on both sides, for example a board on a school gate facing the road and the playground, or a sign on a stake at a car boot sale. Put the front and back as two pages in one file, and let us know if both sides should match.

Is thicker Foamex worth paying for on these signs?

Party Sign Boards are available in 3mm or 5mm Foamex. 3mm keeps weight down and suits smaller signs and posters on an indoor wall. 5mm has more stiffness for larger boards, boards fixed to a post and anything people pick up and carry.

How do I pick the right profile cut for Party Sign Boards?

The profile cut option has 2 settings: yes or no. 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. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Which sides printed would you suggest for Party Sign Boards?

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. For Party Sign Boards the list runs double Sided or single Sided. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

Does the lamination option I choose make a difference to Party Sign Boards?

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. For Party Sign Boards the list runs matt (One Side), none or gloss (One Side). Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

Two good companions for it are Event Sign Boards and Presentation Boards. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex.

Could our allotment society put these signs up by the gate?

Gardens are outdoor, muddy and sunny, so with Party Sign Boards the board matters more than the design. Foamex belongs under cover, such as in a shed or on a noticeboard indoors. Face a long-term sign away from full sun if you can, as all print fades slowly.

I run a small shop. Would these signs work on the front of it?

Yes. Screwed to the wall or the fascia, a printed board gives a shop a neat, permanent-looking sign. As a guide, A2 (420 × 594 mm) costs £38.14. Ask your landlord first, and the local council too if the sign is big or illuminated, as some shop signs need advertisement consent. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. For reference, Party Sign Boards are listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).

We have a school fair coming up. Would these signs be suitable?

They work well fixed to railings, fencing, a gazebo or an easel. Outdoors, look at the fixings again if it turns windy. Order with enough time for the making and the courier before the event. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Drilling on Party Sign Boards: how do the choices differ?

The drilling option has 3 settings: top corners, no or all corners. 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. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Where do Party Sign Boards and Wedding Welcome Sign Boards differ?

Comparing Party Sign Boards with Wedding Welcome Sign Boards, this is what changes. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest A3 (297 × 420 mm), and 4 on the other, the smallest A3 (297 × 420 mm). Opening price: £28.04 on this page and £28.04 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 Event Sign Boards and Party Sign Boards?

Set Party Sign Boards beside Event Sign Boards and a few things differ. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest A3 (297 × 420 mm), and 4 on the other, the smallest A3 (297 × 420 mm). Opening price: £28.04 on this page and £28.04 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.

Can I send these signs back if I no longer need them?

Not for a change of mind. These signs are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for these signs go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04. Choose Saver and these signs leave us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Will these signs sit on an easel at a wedding or event?

They will. Rigid boards are made for this, and a standard easel holds them well. Choose one of the thicker Foamex options if you want them to stay perfectly straight. An easel is not part of the order, so check whether the venue has one. For these signs, the material can be 3mm Foamex or 5mm Foamex. Before delivery, these signs cost from £28.04.
