FAQ

What exactly is Forex?
Forex is a lightweight sheet material made of foamed PVC. It has a hard, smooth and often white top layer with a foamed core. This makes it sturdy yet lightweight.
Can I bend Forex boards?
Forex is somewhat pliable, especially in thinner thicknesses (1-3 mm). In thicker sheets, bending is more difficult and the material may break or be damaged.
Can I have my Forex sheet printed on one or both sides?
Yes, Forex boards can be printed both on one side and on both sides in full colour. You can choose this when composing the product.
Why choose a ‘full colour + white’ print on a black plate?
If you choose full colour + white printing, it means that white ink will be incorporated into your design. This option is particularly important if you want a black plate. With a direct full-colour print on a black background, the colours of your design can be affected by the colour of the plate. They may look duller, darker or less vibrant, changing your design.
To avoid this, in a ‘full colour + white’ print, we first print a layer of white ink under the other colours. This white layer acts as an opaque base, similar to a primer. This makes the CMYK colours (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) printed on top come out much brighter, more vibrant and accurate, exactly as your design is intended.
In short, the white undercoat guarantees optimal colour reproduction and makes your design really pop on a dark background! Good to know is that you have to indicate where exactly you want the white ink. You do this in your file using a spot colour named white. For this, you provide a pdf file.If you have any questions about this, our team is here to help.
How can I extend the life of my outdoor Forex board?
Although Forex is suitable for temporary outdoor use, an additional UV-resistant laminate layer can better protect the colours from fading and the board itself from weathering.
Is Forex suitable for temporary advertising campaigns that change location frequently?
Yes, thanks to its light weight and strength, Forex is excellent for temporary displays, exhibition stands, pop-up shops and events where signs need to be moved regularly.

Bij ontwerpen die in contour dienen gesneden te worden raden we aan om de snijlijn in een andere laag dan het ontwerp te plaatsen. Deze laag noemt u dan "Cutcontour''. Indien u niet zeker bent, kiest u bij "aanleveren printbestand" voor "controleer mijn bestand". Wij controleren dan of uw snijlijn correct staat.
