Have you ever stopped in front of a sign or a facade and thought, «wow, this really catches the attention»?
Visibility is not just about size or design – the material beneath the print plays an equally important role. The right board can be the difference between your message being noticed or getting lost in the crowd. Whether it is for a exhibition stand, a facade sign or a temporary event, there are solutions that combine clarity, durability and flexibility. In this guide, we take a closer look at which types of boards are best suited for different purposes – from lightweight sandwich boards to sturdy composite boards – so that your message always comes across in the best possible way.

Sandwich panels – lightweight, flexible and visible
Sandwich panels that Coala Air Board, Akylite og Ibond are light and easy to handle, whilst providing a solid base for printing.
Koala Air Board fits perfectly for temporary signs, exhibition stands and event decor where easy transport and quick assembly are important. You can make all sorts of things – from shelves, clothing racks and tables, to exhibition walls and display backdrops. A smart and eco-friendly choice for your event.
Akylite is another light and rigid sandwich panel made from polypropylene. It has a honeycomb core, which provides low weight and high stability. Akylite withstands moisture and temperature variations, and is well suited for both indoor and outdoor use. It is ideal for campaign material, displays, in-store communication and signage that needs to be moved or replaced regularly.
Ibond takes it a step further. With aluminium on each side and a composite core in the middle, it combines lightness with strength. This makes the panel ideal for both indoor and outdoor use – from exhibition stands and office signage to façade signage designed to last. Its robust structure ensures that the message remains clear over time, whilst the panel is easy to handle and install.
What sandwich panels have in common is their flexibility. They can be hung, stand freely or be used as a backdrop for graphics, giving you the opportunity to combine visibility with easy handling.
Composite panels – strong and long-lasting
Another lightweight panel is composite panels which Simona og Stadur. These panels have excellent printing properties and are easy to work with. The surface produces a smooth and sharp print, making them ideal for graphic designs where details and colours need to stand out clearly. Composite panels can be used both indoors and outdoors, and are well suited to a wide range of applications – from signs and displays to wall decorations and advertising spaces. They are lightweight, yet stable and dimensionally stable, making them easy to install and handle in larger formats. Thanks to their composition, the panels retain their appearance over time and withstand moisture, temperature changes and UV exposure well. They can be milled, cut, shaped and drilled without the surface cracking or chipping, making them highly versatile in production.
For those who want a combination of precision, low weight and a long lifespan, composite panels are an excellent choice – whether it concerns shopfitting, exhibition stands, information signs or facade elements.
Plexiglas – elegant and clear
Plexiglass (also known as acrylic or PMMA) gives an exclusive and modern look. The smooth, glossy surface gives the print extra depth and light transmission that creates an elegant impression. Plexiglass is often used for interior decoration, office signs, shop logos and display solutions, where a combination of clarity and quality is desired. The material is available in both clear, frosted and coloured versions – clear plexi provides maximum transparency and depth effect, while the frosted or coloured variant gives a more muted and design-oriented look. The sheet is impact-resistant and weather-resistant, but is best suited for places with moderate load. It can be mounted with spacers for a floating effect, or back-printed to protect the motif from scratches and wear.
The right choice gives the right effect
Choosing the right material is about more than aesthetics – it's about matching function with purpose.
Sandwich panels provide flexible and lightweight solutions that are easy to transport, shape and customise – perfect for temporary or seasonal needs.
Composite panels combine low weight with high stability and excellent print quality. They are ideal when you want a durable solution with a precise and professional finish – whether for signage, interior design or exhibition stands that are used repeatedly.
Plexiglass adds an elegant and modern touch, with clarity and depth that elevates both logos and graphics. With the right combination of print and material, the company can stand out, create visibility and convey a professional impression that lasts. Whether it is exhibition stands, facade signs or temporary campaigns, the message gets maximum effect when the material matches the need – both in appearance, function and lifespan.
