About Expanded Foam PVC
Expanded Foam PVC sheet, also known as PVC foam, is a versatile material frequently used for a wide range of applications in the sign and graphics industry. Expanded closed-cell polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets are durable and rigid with a matte finish. Known for being lightweight and easy to fabricate, foam PVC sheets have been a standard in trade show exhibits and point-of-purchase displays for many years. They are available in a variety of colors, and are an ideal material for dimensional lettering for signage, menu boards, exhibits, and more.
Heat formable and chemically resistant, foam PVC provides color consistency throughout the sheet, and can be cut with a knife or blade, screen or digital printed, painted, die cut (in thinner gauges), and used as a mounting board. These versatile sheets provide an ideal substrate for forming, application of vinyl letters, and laminating.

Our offerings include a wide gamut of colors, thicknesses and sizes to choose from, along with cut-to-size and routing services to ensure that you have the right solution for your application.
