Overview

Poster board printing on Correx gives you a poster that shrugs off rain. The board is fluted plastic, so it stays flat and readable on a railing, a fence or a post for as long as your event or campaign runs. Paper would curl and tear in a day.

About the photo: it shows a printed Correx board on a post as an example of the material. Your poster board is printed with your own design.

Where you will see them

Tied to the park railings a fortnight before a summer fair. Lined along the road into a showground. Fixed to the fence outside a school with open day dates. Promoters, charities, councils and campaign groups all use them because they go up with a pair of cable ties and come down just as fast.

Poster board printing: sizes and thickness

The sizes use traditional poster names: Single Crown, Double Crown, Quads, 4 Sheet and Double Quad. Pick the size by distance: a board read by passing drivers needs to be a lot bigger than one read by people on the pavement.

  • 3.5mm Correx: light and easy to carry, fine for most short runs.
  • 5mm Correx: thicker and stiffer, better on bigger boards and in windy spots.
  • Sides printed: single or double sided. Double sided suits a board seen from both directions along a road.
  • Creasing and drilling: each available as a yes or no option.

Putting it up

Cable ties through the flutes or through drilled holes hold a board tight to a railing. Check you have permission for wherever it is going. Keep the design to a headline, a date and a place; people read posters on the move. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service. A person checks every uploaded file for free.

Timing, safety notices and delivery

Production is 10 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed. If a board carries a warning at work, such as a site hazard, the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 apply: employers must provide safety signs where a risk cannot be avoided or controlled another way. Boards are made to order and dispatched from the UK. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; see delivery. For more poster board printing and event signs, browse street and event Correx.

Questions

Quick answers about poster board printing.

What happens after I order?

FatPrint receives it, a person checks your file, then your Correx poster board is made to order and handed to the courier. You get tracking by email the day it ships. If anything needs changing, message us from the Contact page.

How do I find out what my Correx sign will cost?

Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £9.42. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout.

Is there a discount if I buy more?

Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 90 is priced on this page for your Correx poster board order. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

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 poster 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.

Is anything added to the price of my Correx poster board order at checkout?

Only delivery, where it applies. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £9.42 starting price for your Correx poster board order is the full price of the goods. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

How fast can I have my Correx poster board order?

Every service level (Saver, Standard and Express) takes 10 working days before it ships. Courier delivery follows in 1 to 3 working days. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Sizes over 3 m on a side, such as Double Quad and 4 Sheet, go by specialist courier for £15 added once to the order.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of Correx Poster Boards?

Picked the way the page first loads, with yes, single Sided and 3.5mm Correx, Correx Poster Boards come to £9.42. 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 £9.42 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Correx Poster Boards?

Allow 10 working days on Saver, 10 on Standard or 10 on Express before Correx Poster 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.

Do the biggest sizes of Correx Poster 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 Double Quad and 4 Sheet. 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). Choose Saver and these Correx signs leave us after 10 working days.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of Correx Poster 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 £9.42 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.

Which artwork services are offered with Correx Poster 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.

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 signs the same size as the one you order, such as Single Crown (508 × 802 mm).

What material are these Correx signs?

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 Poster Boards as 3.5mm, 5mm or 5.5mm Correx.

Which sizes can Correx Poster Boards be printed in?

The table has 5 sizes. At the small end, Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) costs from £9.42; at the top, Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm) costs from £49.13. 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.

Are we allowed to cable tie these Correx signs to lamp posts for our event?

Only if you have permission. Lamp posts, bollards and railings, and the road itself, are council property, and plenty of councils either license signs on them or ban them outright. Check with your council before anything goes up, and remove every sign once the event has finished. On your own land, or where the landowner has said yes, Correx Poster Boards can go up without most of these worries.

How many Correx Poster Boards can I buy at one time?

Anything from 1 to 90. 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 90, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

How much does a Double Crown (1016 × 802 mm) Correx sign cost?

From £10.69, 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each Correx sign is made to order for you.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these Correx signs 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. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these Correx signs?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Correx Poster Boards begin at £9.42, 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 £9.42 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

We are signposting a sponsored walk. How many Correx signs will we need?

Count the decision points: every junction or fork on the route needs one, plus the start and the end. Add a few spares, because some always get damaged or disappear. Quantities go from 1 up to 90 and each price is a total, so divide by the number of signs to compare. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each Correx sign is made to order for you. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

And the largest Correx sign, Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm): how much is that one?

From £49.13, 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. Before delivery, these Correx signs cost from £9.42.

Our event is close. Can Correx Poster Boards be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and Correx Poster Boards can be on the way in 10 working days on the opening option, for £10.92, where Saver is £9.42 and takes 10 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.

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 signs go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.

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 signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for Correx Poster 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. Make the artwork for these Correx signs the same size as the one you order, such as Single Crown (508 × 802 mm).

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 signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

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. If you have no file, you can build the design for these Correx signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

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

Big items seen from a distance only need 100 to 150 dpi at full size. So a Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm) layout wants about 8,000 by 3,157 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.

Once I finish designing these Correx signs 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 signs the same size as the one you order, such as Single Crown (508 × 802 mm).

Which sides printed would you suggest for Correx Poster Boards?

The sides printed option has 2 settings: single Sided or double 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 signs, the material can be 5mm Correx, 5.5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

Does the material option I choose make a difference to Correx Poster Boards?

It is what your design gets printed onto. For Correx Poster Boards the list runs 5mm Correx, 5.5mm 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.

Creasing on Correx Poster Boards: how do the choices differ?

The creasing option has 2 settings: yes or no. Creasing scores a line into heavier stock first, so the fold comes out neat and the ink does not split along it. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these Correx signs, the material can be 5mm Correx, 5.5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each Correx sign is made to order for you.

Who uses Correx signs such as the Correx Poster Boards, and for what?

Think events and campaigns: open days, fairs, diversions for an event, arrows pointing the way. The Correx board is waterproof, light and low cost, which is ideal for something up for a few days or weeks. Lamp posts, railings and bollards on public land are not yours to use freely, so get permission first. For these Correx signs, the material can be 5mm Correx, 5.5mm Correx or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

How many weeks will these Correx signs stay looking good outdoors?

Rain is no trouble for Correx Poster 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 Correx boards go up on railings, or on a stake in the grass?

Railings: have Correx Poster 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.

Can you explain the drilling setting for Correx Poster 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 Poster 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.

How would I decide between Lamp Post Wraps and Correx Poster Boards?

Comparing Correx Poster Boards with Lamp Post Wraps, this is what changes. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest Single Crown (508 × 802 mm), and 3 on the other, the smallest Raised Lamp Post Wrap. Opening price: £9.42 on this page and £16.14 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.

Where do Correx Poster Boards and Lamp Post Toblerone Signs differ?

Set Correx Poster Boards beside Lamp Post Toblerone Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest Single Crown (508 × 802 mm), and only Lamp post toblerones on the other. Opening price: £9.42 on this page and £20.73 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 Poster Boards, or would Venue Arrow Signs suit me better?

Comparing Correx Poster Boards with Venue Arrow Signs, this is what changes. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest Single Crown (508 × 802 mm), and only Venue Arrows on the other. Opening price: £9.42 on this page and £3.76 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.

Next year we will want the same Correx sign again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Designed it online? The print PDF from your first paid order stays in My Account and in the confirmation email, so you can reuse it. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each Correx sign is made to order for you.

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. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place, along with downloads of designs you made online. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

I am not sure which options to pick for these Correx signs. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the Correx sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these Correx signs cost from £9.42.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these Correx signs is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Sizes for these Correx signs go from Single Crown (508 × 802 mm) at the small end to Double Quad (2032 × 802 mm), 5 in all.

Who looks after me once I have bought Correx Poster Boards?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Correx Poster Boards are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

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

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these Correx signs leave us after 10 working days. The biggest sizes of these Correx signs go by specialist courier, which adds £15 once to the order.
