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:
How do I install/hang/post my gatorboard sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
You can hang a gatorboard sign by using nails or screws to secure it to a wall. String, rope, or hooks can be used to suspend the sign from a ceiling. Signs can be attached to a surface using strong adhesive or glue as well.
Q:
What happens if my gatorboard sign is exposed to large amounts of moisture?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Gatorboard is not designed to be waterproof or resistant to moisture. As such, if your board is exposed to a large amount of water it will become permanently damaged. The moisture will warp the paper faces and could cause them to separate from the foam core. This can be true for direct exposure to water as well as extremely humid conditions.
Q:
How do I store my gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We recommend storing your custom gatorboard sign in an upright position and away from sharp edges or objects to prevent any scratching or denting of the face of the board. If you do decide to store your board on its face, make sure to avoid placing objects on top of the sign. Doing so could cause unwanted flattening or puncturing of the board. This is particularly true if the gatorboard signage is suspended between two objects with no middle support.
Q:
How do I clean my gatorboard sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Clean your gatorboard using a dry, non-abrasive cloth. This should be adequate in removing surface dirt. Avoid using liquids or any cleaning solution when caring for your gatorboard sign.
Q:
I am looking to create posters for a fundraising project. The design includes a bar graph that we will color in by hand as donations come in. If we use gatorboard, will we be able to write on it with a marker or will the surface be too slick?
Asked 8 months ago by Margaret M.
A:

Suggesting to use of a permanent marker for best results. Any other type of marker is not recommended.

Q:
Resolution of images for gatorboard: My design is 24 x 36 inches. What PPI should my images be for this? Do I submit a jpg file? Thanks!
Asked 12 months ago by Chris F.
