It all depends on how the heat is. If it's right above the stove... everything will warp.

Bubblex is kind of like coro, but it's more of "bubbles" in the center than flutes... which makes it much sturdier. It's also a smooth surface... which makes the prints look nice.

It is a plastic...so it will likely warp over time. But your customer is asking the impossible. Unless he wants aluminum, maybe alupanel, everything will warp when mixed with heat + humidity.

infiniti is styrene on both sides of foam. He did mention yellow but i will be applying vinyl the the whole face of it.

BubbleX looks like what we call stingerboard, it will work very nicely in this situation

BubbleX is an amazing product! Its very smooth (Has a slight matting texture) and prints great. We are converting almost all of our clients over in replacement to Coroplast for durability and ACP for lower cost and similar durability.

It does not warp in the sun or heat that we have found.

is poly air from signs365 the same as BubbleX? Then I could do direct to print.

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

I believe poly air is their version of it.

I can tell you standard vinyl doesnt stick well, we have to use a High Tack like IJ39 or most reflective vinyls work also.

Just because of the matte finish? If I go that route I think I would do direct print but then they wont be able to clean it with harsh chemicals

If you laminate it correctly orrectly, they can.

Its the texture that they use is almost like a fine sand texture and the adhesives don't seem to grip well.

Gatorplast works great for hanging menus. Half inch is pretty rigid but light.

 

[klingsdesigns]

For the gatorplast what do you suggest I do to hang it since you can't put grommets in the two top corners?

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

You could glue a second smaller board behind it and put eyelets to hang by wire or french cleats for wall mounting with no visible fasteners.

Why can't you put grommets in it ?? We do, unless it's an inch thick.
