They\u2019re eye-catching. They stop people in their tracks. And with the large variety of <a href=\"\/signage-hardware-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign types and designs<\/a>, the options are virtually endless. How do you pick the right <a href=\"https:\/\/ironmarkusa.com\/large-format-printing-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">large format materials<\/a> for your message while ensuring that it will work for your project?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two popular materials used as substrates for large format (also called <a href=\"\/wide-format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wide format<\/a> or grand format) printing. While many more are available, these are the go-tos because they work well in many conditions. We\u2019ll cover those in a minute. But first, let\u2019s talk about the category as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Brief Review of Large Format Printing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When large-format printing technology hit the scene in the 1950s with vinyl <a href=\"\/substrate-varieties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">substrate<\/a>, signs over 24 inches wide could be printed reliably and beautifully, as well as cost-effectively. As the process and materials evolved, so too did the variety. Now, we can print many types of large format signs, including billboards, yard signs, <a href=\"\/creative-use-of-trade-show-flooring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floor graphics<\/a>, banners, building and vehicle wraps, point of purchase, wall and floor graphics, and much more. In fact the large format printing business is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20211207006135\/en\/Global-Large-Format-Printers-Market-2021-to-2026---Growth-Trends-COVID-19-Impact-and-Forecasts---ResearchAndMarkets.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">booming<\/a>, with an expected value of $10.68 billion globally by 2026, up from $8.76 billion in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Choose Large Format Printing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s clear to see that large format is popular. Large format checks a lot of boxes. Do you want impact? Do you want longevity? Do you want to print on demand? Large format signs accomplish all of these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Impact:<\/strong> Larger than life messaging practically jumps out at you in a showroom, conference, on the highway, in a store, or out on a sidewalk. Passersby will register the message again and again, and you\u2019ll build brand recognition and attract new customers. Call to actions in large format vehicles are also highly effective. They are also excellent for wayfinding, directing people to your booth or business. Since their print quality has gotten even more precise in recent years, large format signs deliver the wow factor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Longevity:<\/strong> Large format signs are built to last. A number of materials can stand up to rough weather and UV rays while maintaining their color fidelity and substrate integrity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On Demand:<\/strong> You can print them when you need them. You also don\u2019t need to print large format signs in bulk, so you won\u2019t have to store unused signage or waste it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-alt-serif-font-family\"><a href=\"\/large-format-printing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related: \u201cGo Big or Go Home!\u201d Large Format Printing Makes a Big Impact<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many excellent substrate choices for these sizes, here are the large format materials you\u2019re most likely to see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foam Core (or Foam Board): Lightweight Feel, Heavyweight Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Constructed with a foam core of polystyrene and 95%-98% air, foam core signs are very lightweight but still sturdy. You can prop them up on their own, mount them on a wall, frame them, or place them on an easel. Due to their versatility, they\u2019re a favorite for tradeshows, conferences, presentations, and more since they\u2019re easy to transport and their surface is great for high quality printing. They are also quite cost-effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Foam Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the surface is paper, foam core signs are not waterproof or fade-proof\u2014so they\u2019re designed strictly for inside spaces. They must also be handled carefully because they can easily break or dent. You can frame or mount them to increase their longevity. Also note that their acidity makes them inhospitable for any archival materials that you want to maintain as the chemical makeup of the foam core will break it down. Foam core is available in thicknesses ranging from \u215b\u201d or \u00bc.\u201d Popular sizes are 12\u201d x 18\u201d or 20\u201d x 30\u201d on \u215b.\u201d&nbsp; Sizes can range from as small as 12\u201d x 12\u201d up to 46\u201d x 48.\u201d They\u2019re usually printed on one side in full color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coroplast: Quick and Ubiquitous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coroplast is a fluted, corrugated plastic made with an extruded polypropylene sheet.&nbsp; It is a relatively inexpensive material and is also lightweight and rigid. It\u2019s tougher than a corrugated fiberboard and lighter than an extruded plastic sheet. It\u2019s weather-resistant, stain proof, and waterproof too. A favorite of realtors, political groups, and landscapers, coroplast is easy to mount on signs or fences with grommets, and is often used as yard signs with a frame. You see them everywhere: in yards, on highways, and posted as wayfinding signs for events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Coroplast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With coroplast the printing process is quick, flexible, and green since the UV machine can print right on the substrate. It uses LED lights to dry the ink quickly, and this consumes less power than a toaster. Coroplast is available in thicknesses of 4mm to 10mm, and the overall size goes from 16\u201d x 20\u201d up to 48\u201d x 96.\u201d You can find it in black or white or in a range of custom colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-alt-serif-font-family\"><a href=\"\/signage-design-large-format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related: Amp Up Your Signage Design with 7 Cool Large Format Ideas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sign Time!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are even more large format material options to explore, but these two popular substrates are ideal for most applications.
