FAQ

What is Falconboard?

Falconboard is a recyclable, rigid sign material made with a honeycomb paper core and coated paper liners. It’s designed for custom displays and high-quality printed signage, typically for indoor use.

Is Falconboard sturdy or paper-based?

Both. Made entirely from paper materials but engineered to be impressively strong. The honeycomb core structure distributes stress effectively.

What holds the material together?

The internal honeycomb core is sandwiched between two smooth, coated paper liners, bonded securely with adhesive. This design distributes weight evenly and prevents sagging. Lightweight yet durable.

How is this different from printing on cardboard?

Falconboard is stronger and flatter than cardboard. It resists warping, supports higher-quality printing, and maintains structural integrity for longer-lasting displays.

Can I print on both sides of a Falconboard display?

Yes. Falconboard supports double-sided printing, ideal for hanging signs and freestanding displays visible from multiple angles.

What’s the difference between Falconboard and corrugated plastic or foam board?

Corrugated plastic is waterproof but less eco-friendly. Foam board is lightweight but dents easily. Falconboard offers greater rigidity than foam board and is fully recyclable.

Are Falconboard signs suitable for outdoor use?

No. Falconboard is paper-based and not water-resistant. It’s designed for indoor environments only. Contact us for outdoor signage options.

How long do Falconboard displays last?

With proper indoor care, Falconboard signs last several months up to 2+ years, depending on handling and placement.

Is Falconboard an environmentally friendly material?

Yes. Made from renewable, recyclable paper materials and fully recyclable itself.

How many colors can I use on Falconboard displays?

Falconboard supports full-color, high-resolution CMYK printing, perfect for photos, logos, gradients, and detailed graphics.

Can I use my own design instead of Sactown Signco templates?

Absolutely. Upload your own artwork or use our design tool to create custom signs. Our design experts are also available to help.

Are these signs heat resistant?

Falconboard tolerates normal indoor temperatures but is not designed for high heat or direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure may cause warping or fading.

Is there a laminate finish on Falconboard signs?

No default laminate is applied, but lamination can be added upon request for extra durability or protection.

Can I customize drill holes in Falconboard signs?

Yes. We offer optional drilled holes with custom placement to fit your hanging or mounting needs.

Can I build 3D displays using Falconboard?

Yes. Falconboard is great for lightweight, freestanding 3D structures like kiosks, shelves, and multi-panel displays. Avoid heavy loads.

Are Falconboard signs strong enough to hold heavy objects?

No. While durable, Falconboard is not meant to support heavy weights. It’s ideal for signage and light display elements only.

Where can I mount Falconboard displays?

Mount on easels, hang from ceilings, attach to walls with adhesive or Velcro, or slot into display stands—whatever your space requires.

Do I need to worry about denting, fading, warping, or scratching?

Falconboard resists warping better than foam board but can dent or scratch if handled roughly. Keep signs indoors and away from moisture to extend their life.

What are the best uses for custom Falconboard signs?

Ideal for retail signage, point-of-purchase displays, event signage, promotional cutouts, hanging signs, directional signage, and trade shows.

Are Falconboard displays reusable?

Yes, with care. Store flat and handle gently to maintain condition.

How should I store my displays when not in use?

Store flat in a clean, dry area. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent warping or crushing the core.

How do I install Falconboard signs?

Use command strips, double-sided tape, Velcro, easels, or hang with grommets or drilled holes. Installation is typically simple and tool-free.

Will I need help installing Falconboard signs?

Not usually. Falconboard is lightweight and easy to handle solo, but for large or elevated installations, an extra hand can be helpful.
