Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is HIPS, and how is it different from foam board?
A: HIPS stands for High-Impact Polystyrene. It is more durable and resistant to denting than standard foam board, while remaining lightweight. Its smooth surface and sturdiness make it ideal for professional signage.
Q: Can I trim the poster board to a custom shape or size?
A: Yes, we offer precision trimming to any rectangular or square dimensions. Custom die-cuts, such as rounded shapes or silhouette cuts, are also available upon request.
Q: Is the HIPS board suitable for outdoor use?
A: The boards are moisture-resistant and suitable for short-term outdoor display. For prolonged weather exposure, we recommend laminating the print or using a weatherproof alternative.
Q: What are the most common uses for these boards?
A: Common uses include event signage, welcome boards, retail displays, foam-mounted photos, educational boards, and directional signs at indoor events. They are also popular for weddings and exhibitions.
Q: What’s the lead time for printing?
A: Most standard orders (1–20 pcs) are completed within 2–3 working days. Larger quantities or complex finishing may require additional time.
Q: Do you offer design or artwork assistance?
A: While we don’t provide full design services, we perform a basic check to ensure your artwork is print‑ready and will let you know if any adjustments are needed before printing.
