Gator Board Signs, 2'x3' and 3'x3'
A rigid, lightweight board sign built to be reused
Gator board looks like foam board from across the room, but it is a much tougher sign. The foam center is sandwiched between two wood-fiber veneer faces, which makes the board stiffer and far more resistant to dents. Signs by FDS prints your artwork on 3/16" gator board with UV inks for rich, lasting color, at our shop in Anaheim.
What you get
- 3/16" gator board: a polystyrene foam core between two wood-fiber veneer faces
- Printed with UV inks
- 2'x3' board for $125 or 3'x3' board for $160
- Stronger and more durable than foam board, and just as light
When to choose gator board
Choose gator board when the sign has to last: lobby and wayfinding signs, retail displays you keep up for months, exhibit and trade show panels that travel from show to show, menu boards, and presentation boards that get handled often. For a sign you only need for one day or one event, our foam board signs are the lower-cost option. For a sidewalk sign, see the heavy-duty A-frame, and for lawn signs see our yard signs.
