Styrene is renowned for its incredibly smooth, flat surface. This allows for flawless ink adhesion, meaning your high-resolution photography, intricate graphics, and vivid brand colors will print with stunning clarity. Its lightweight profile makes it the perfect material for sliding into snap frames, menu boards, and pedestal signs, while its durability ensures it won't easily dent or crease during setup and teardown.

Key Features:

  • Flexible Plastic Construction: Bends easily without breaking, making it perfect for wrapping around curved trade show displays or columns.
  • Smooth, Low-Glare Finish: A pristine, flat surface that ensures your text and graphics remain highly visible under bright retail or event lighting.
  • Rollable for Transport: Thinner gauges can be carefully rolled up, making shipping and carrying to conventions incredibly cost-effective and easy.
  • Tear and Dent Resistant: Outperforms standard paper posters and rigid foam boards by resisting tearing, creasing, and corner damage with frequent handling.
  • Perfect for Frame Inserts: The ideal thickness to slide smoothly into aluminum snap frames, hanging poster rails, and point-of-purchase displays.

Commercial Prepress & File Preparation Standards

To ensure optimal commercial print clarity and prevent production delays, please prepare your design files according to the following trade specifications:

high_quality 300+ DPI Resolution
All raster images, photos, and logos must be at least 300 DPI at 100% scale to avoid blurriness or pixelation.
palette CMYK Color Mode
Convert RGB artwork to CMYK color profile. RGB monitor colors may shift when translated to 4-color press inks.
crop 0.125" (1/8") Bleed
Extend all background colors and imagery 1/8 inch past the trim edge to eliminate white borders during industrial cutting.
text_fields Convert Fonts to Outlines
Convert all typography to curves/outlines before exporting to prevent missing font substitution on RIP processors.
