Bring to life any retail display or business presentation with our gatorboard signs. Made from a lightweight polystyrene core and high-quality rigid paper faces, our 3/16” gatorboard is the perfect solution for temporary and permanent retail signage, storefront displays, and decorative pieces. We directly print your design onto the face of the material using UV ink, providing a clean & professional look.

This indoor sign will upgrade your store, business, or home and is durable enough for reuse. Every gatorboard sign is printed using vibrant UV ink, making for a visually-appealing, yet cost-effective sign. We print your design directly on the gatorboard material to give you a long lasting sign to display for years to come.

Care

Gatorboard signs are intended for indoor use only. Avoid placing gatorboard in areas where it will be exposed to increased amounts of moisture and refrain from using any liquid or cleaning solution to remove dirt from the sign. When handling, make sure not to excessively bend the board, this will cause a permanent crease in the material or possible tearing of the board. Edges can be easily dented, so take care when transporting and displaying gatorboard.

Q:
Do you offer a laminate or glossy finish to your gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Currently we do not offer a any laminated or glossy coating for our custom gatorboard signs. The UV ink that is printed onto the board material will have a high quality, scratch resistant, matte finish that is exceptional for display purposes.
Q:
What kind of finish does gatorboard have? What about my design?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The natural paper faces of the gatorboard, before a design is printed, will have a matte paper finish. When a design is printed the ink will have a matte appearance as well.
Q:
Can I put grommets or drilled holes in my gatorboard?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We do offer drilled holes as an option for gatorboard. To include drilled holes, simply click on the ‘drilled holes’ option in our design too. Grommets are not suitable for use with gatorboard signs so we do not offer them as an option.
Q:
Is gatorboard fire resistant?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Being a paper and plastic product, gatorboard is not fire resistant. We do not recommend placing the sign near extreme heat or an open flame.
Q:
What is the lifespan of your gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Using strictly indoors and with proper handling and care, a gatorboard sign can last 2+ years.
Q:
How do I request an order with custom or additional drilled holes?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
You can request custom drilled holes by selecting the "Custom" option in the design tool. During checkout, explain your custom drilled holes in the customer comment box. Custom drilled holes will incur an additional cost.
Q:
Can gatorboard signs be used outside?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Gatorboard is designed for indoor display purposes. That being said, gatorboard signs can be temporarily displayed outside in pleasant weather conditions. We highly discourage you from placing gatorboard signage outside in harsh, windy, or wet weather.
Q:
What are the typical uses of gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Gatorboard is typically used as promotional, point of purchase displays, and directional signage for retail stores and businesses. Gatorboard can be used as a cheaper alternative to a rigid plastic or aluminum sign for indoor signage. Restaurants or cafes can hang this board to display menus or specials offered. It can also be used at trade shows and events as welcome signage, registration signage or even as part of a display booth. It is also affordable enough to be used in business presentations. Lastly, our gatorboard signs can also be used for handheld signage at campaign rallies, by street advertisers and more. Durable enough to be held up and waved around but light enough to be held for extended periods.
Q:
Can I use gatorboard to build 3-D displays or exhibits?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes! Gatorboard can be used to create eye-catching 3-D displays. Flex your creative muscle when incorporating gatorboard into your display. The lightweight property allows for it to be suspended from a ceiling with string or rope, or mounted on a wall. You can create 3-D shapes and objects with multiple gatorboard pieces or combine it with our custom falconboard signs to make a captivating display.

Q:
Can I use gatorboard as a surface to mount other objects on?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
You can use gatorboard as a surface to hang light objects, such as paper, cardboard, foamboard, or falconboard. We suggest that you avoid hanging heavy objects, as this will put strain on the board and could result in bending or tearing of the gatorboard. Use adhesive, nails, screws, or thumbtacks to secure objects to the face of the gatorboard. Do not place heavy objects directly on top of gatorboard in a table like fashion or even when being stored. These uses can permanently damage the gatorboard signs.
