Triaprint Bubble Board is a super tough polypropylene sheet material made from 3 layers of extruded material. Unlike conventional corrugated correx material, the internal structure is made from small bubble-shaped cells that give Triaprint bubble board exceptionally high rigidity whilst remaining lightweight. Bubble board is a great PVC-free alternative for indoor and outdoor display graphics.
Bubble Board PVC Free Printing
Bubble board provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative when compared to printing onto conventional plastic display board products such as foam board (foamex).
Unlike other polypropylene materials, bubble board has a relatively smooth face that is free from visible corrugation making it suitable as a medium for many types of printed display graphics including exhibition and point-of-sale display panels.
Bubble board printing is suitable for indoor or outdoor use and is waterproof and resistant to fading in UV light. It is also highly resistant to impact without shattering.
How Does Bubble Board Differ From Correx Board
You may be familiar with the Correx board which is used for many types of short-term signage including 'for sale' and 'to let' signs. Both Bubble Board and Correx board are made from the same base material (polypropylene) but the structure of the material is very different.
The internal structure of Correx is made from a series of internal channels, sometimes referred to as 'flutes'. These channels run the complete length of the sheet in one direction. The problem with Correx is that although it is strong in one direction, it is prone to folding or bending along the direction of the internal flute.
Bubble Board printing offers a great deal more strength when compared to Correx because the internal structure of the board is made from a honeycomb of individual cells. This means that the board is strong and resistant to bending and folding equally in both directions.

Bubble Board Printing Sizes And Material Thicknesses
We can provide bubble board printing with a choice of 3.4mm or 5.7mm material thicknesses.
3.4mm thick Triaprint bubble board is suitable for most display graphics at any size for indoor use or for temporary outdoor signage for outdoor use.
Our 5.7mm thick material is stronger and is recommended for larger display signs that could be unsupported. For example, signs that are to be mounted on posts or stakes.
Both 3.4mm and 5.7mm bubble boards can be printed up to a maximum sheet size of 1500mm x 3050mm. Panels measuring up to around 100mm x 1500mm can normally be delivered with a conventional courier. For delivery costs on larger panels, please contact one of our team.
