  • Foamboard prices – competitive at the moment?

    Posted by Pryam Carter on October 27, 2005 at 6:29 pm

    Has the market gone extremely competitive at the moment or is it just me (?)
    I was offered foamex (uncovered) today for £9.48 per 40 boards at a time. I good deal l thought.
    The fact that the sheets are uncovered doesn’t bother me too much as l would use these for mounting full col prints on them.

    what size were the boards ?

    just a thought it’s a big cash lay out unless of course you have sold most of them!

    The boards were 8×4’s.
    i’ll post the number tomrrow sometime when l’m in at work.
    I’m pretty sure that Robert Horne do an un-covered board at a similar price and similar quantity, i’ll have to make a call on that one though.

    Just wondered if we have the confusion over the board name again, Foamex/Foamboard.

    Foamboard (Forex Classic) I buy for more than twice that amount but does not come coated uncoated as far as I am aware.
    Foam-x Does come coated/uncoated but costs less than that from my regular supplier.

    You can buy Foamex on Ebay for #10/sheet 5mm and only need to buy 10 sheets.

    So which is it?

    It isn’t Forrex (obviously) for those prices, it’s a cheap 5mm foamboard.
    The firm are called Roll-Land Products.
    The tel no. is 01795 470084
