    Hi, I have about 75 unused correx estate agent signs which are of no use to me because the agent changed their design. Im loathed to bin them and just wondered if it would be possible to get a waterproof poster which I could paste over the excising design. Obviously it would have to work out cheaper than the cost of new boards, is this possible. From memory, I get my 3 color boards done for around £6.50 each.

    You could always start up your own estate agency with logo/contact details to match the boards 😕

    Other than that – landfill I think

    Same as George – get some digital grey backed vinyl…

    …£6.50 for buying in 3 colour…ouch…I’d be shopping around a bit!

    wouldnt this work out more expensive than printing new boards? realistically, my target price would need to be £2/£2.50 a side, could I get 150 3 color for a total of £375 tops?

    i thought that was reasonable dave. Ive had boards cheaper before but the correx was substandard, dont think it was uv treated and the life of the boards wasnt good. These boards are twin thickness so i can put the post up the middle, and they come already bonded at the edges, i take that into account because alot of printers dont do this.
