  Advice needed on Menu boards please?

  Posted by Craig Gibson on 23 July 2012 at 20:39

  Hi everyone, I have a couple of menu boards to do which will be mounted inside
  and on walls.
  My question is what do I use? Foam board? Alui composite? Or something else?
  Thanks

  Craig

  I think you’d be ok to use gloss finish foamex or similar.
  I wouldn’t use a cheaper Matt finish personally.

  Ah, well I think ordinary foamex or similar would be ok then.
  Use a corner rounder to finish them off too if you have one.

  Personally I would use something like hoarding board. Can’t remember the last time I used foam for anything. Hoarding board is only fractionally more than foam & you can charge extra anyway. If your mounting a print on to it then it doesn’t matter that the face is matt finish.
