Foamcore or PVC ... Printing

I need some indoor signs printed. 22''x28''- single sided. My customer asked for foam core, but I heard that printing on PVC looks good also.

Which do you guys recommend ? And who can do them ?

PVC we can turn around in 24 hours. I prefer printing to PVC for wholesaling because it's easy to package and doesn't dent nearly as much as foamcore.

You'll find more people have heard and use the term foamcore more than any other substrate next to paper or cardboard. Therefore, they always refer to foamcare. You need to educate your customer that the other choices are far better and for a nominal cost increase.

We use Gaterplast for our foam board, which is actually a little more than 1/8 pvc, but pvc is still a better option if it does not need to be very rigid.
