Foam PVC board
Foam PVC board is the all-purpose material for indoor signage and sheltered facades. Rigid and perfectly smooth, it can be drilled and cut without shattering and reproduces solid colours without grain. The 3 and 5 mm thicknesses carry the M1 rating, often required in premises open to the public. We print it in our Gers workshop.
- Three thicknesses: 3 mm for walls, 5 mm free-standing, 10 mm for large formats.
- 76 preset sizes or your dimensions, straight or contour cut.
- Eyelets, stand-offs, laminate, rounded corners.

Which thickness of foam PVC?
Foam PVC is a rigid foam with a smooth skin: dense on the surface, lighter at the core. It can be drilled and screwed without shattering, and its flatness renders fine text without grain. 3 mm is the thickness for everyday signage that gets renewed: instructions, price lists, menus, evacuation plans — things you replace without a second thought. For a reception plaque that has to last, look instead at an aluminium or transparent material. 5 mm provides the rigidity needed to stand on its own: easel signs, boards on a stand, signage set away from the wall. 10 mm is reserved for large surfaces that must not ripple and for cut-out letters, giving them a visible thickness on the edge.
The M1 rating and premises open to the public
The 3 mm and 5 mm thicknesses carry the M1 rating, the most demanding French reaction-to-fire classification for a material of this type. If your premises are open to the public, your inspection body or safety committee will tell you which rating is expected for your fit-out elements: it is that requirement, specific to your establishment, that decides. M1 foam PVC lets you respond with a material whose rating is known, rather than a board you can say nothing about. We do not issue certificates of compliance for your installation: we supply the material and its rating.
PVC sizes, cutting and finishes
Seventy-six sizes cover indoor signage, from the 20 x 30 of an instruction sign to the 50 x 50 of a reception board. A size outside the range? Enter height and width and the cut follows — straight or contour cut, logo, arrow or silhouette, which foam PVC reproduces cleanly. Printing is single or double-sided, with five ink options including photo-quality CMYK. For fixing, eyelets go at the four corners or along an entire side, and Ø 12 mm stand-offs let cables run behind a technical panel. Indoors, a laminate mainly protects against handling scratches; dry-wipe turns the board into a surface you can write on and wipe clean.
A sharp file on a smooth surface
The smooth finish of PVC does not forgive low resolution: start from CMYK at 300 DPI, keep 2 mm bleed and a 4 mm safety margin, and avoid images taken from the web. Solid colours come out without grain, which makes a badly exported gradient all the more obvious. For a cut-out outline, attach the vector path; failing that, describe the silhouette you want.

Made here
94 % of our orders were produced in-house in 2024-2025, and 100 % in France. Our workshop is in Manciet, in the Gers, near Nogaro — recent machinery, local workshops. Less transport, faster turnaround.
Committed suppliers
We source our materials from regional partners who share our standards. Our main textile supplier is a French manufacturer whose site in Hagetmau, in the neighbouring Landes, supplies us through a short circuit — EcoVadis Platinum 2024, organic cotton and recycled textile ranges certified GOTS and GRS. Our paper comes from sustainably managed forests.
Less waste
PVC offcuts, paper and substrates are sorted and recovered; our adhesive films are available in recycled PVC. Nesting and imposition of files cut offcuts down: we print the right quantity. And low-impact inks, for prints that last.
A person, not a form
A close-knit team, from the first idea to the finished product. Every project, large or small, gets the same care. A question about your file? +33 5 33 13 02 01.
