FAQ

What are styrene signs?

Styrene signs are printed on polystyrene sheets—a thin, lightweight plastic with a smooth surface that produces clean, vibrant prints. They’re commonly used for indoor retail and promotional signage.

Does styrene bend?

Yes. Styrene has some flexibility, making it great for curved displays and shipping. For maximum rigidity, choose a thicker sheet or ask about other rigid materials.

What thickness should I choose?

Thinner sheets work well for lightweight inserts and short-term promotions, while thicker sheets offer more rigidity and durability. Typical options are 0.015″, 0.030″, and 0.062″.

Can you print styrene double-sided?

Yes. Double-sided printing is available for signs that need to be seen from both sides, such as hanging signs or aisle markers.

Can I get rounded corners or holes drilled?

Absolutely. Rounded corners provide a finished look and safer edges, while drilled holes make hanging and mounting quick and easy.

What’s the best file format for printing?

PDF files are preferred. We also accept AI/EPS and high-resolution PNG/JPG files. For best results, use 300 DPI at final size and include bleed if your design goes to the edge.

How do I mount a styrene sign?

Common indoor mounting methods include double-sided tape, adhesive Velcro, or hanging from drilled holes. Let us know your surface and we’ll recommend the best mounting solution.

Will styrene scratch or fade?

Styrene can scuff if rubbed against rough surfaces. For longer-lasting signs, handle by the edges, avoid abrasive cleaners, and ask us about protective coatings if your sign will be moved frequently.
