Why Coroplast Sign Printing uses UV Flatbed Printer?
At Hi 5 Canada, we specialize in coroplast sign printing with direct UV flatbed printer — the modern alternative to vinyl mounting. This process delivers sharper colors, greater durability, and a cleaner, more professional look.
Whether you need real estate signs, election boards, or construction site signage, direct UV printing offers unmatched quality and value.
What Is Coroplast?
Coroplast is a lightweight, rigid, and waterproof corrugated plastic sheet made from polypropylene. It’s often called “plastic cardboard” because of its fluted interior structure.
Available in 4mm and 10mm thicknesses, coroplast is ideal for both indoor and outdoor signs. It’s easy to cut, drill, and install — perfect for quick promotional campaigns or long-term business displays.
UV Flatbed Coroplast Sign Printing vs. Traditional Vinyl Mounting
Before UV technology became widespread, coroplast signs were produced by printing on adhesive vinyl, then laminating and mounting it onto the board. While still used in some print shops, this process is slower and less durable.
Here’s how direct UV printing outperforms vinyl mounting:
| Feature | UV Flatbed Printing (Hi5 Canada) | Vinyl Mounting |
|---|---|---|
| Print Quality | High-resolution, direct print on coroplast | Dependent on vinyl and adhesive |
| Durability | UV-cured ink resists fading, peeling, and scratching | Vinyl can bubble or lift over time |
| Speed | Print directly on the board — no mounting step | Slower, requires multiple steps |
| Cost Efficiency | Lower material and labour cost | Higher due to vinyl & lamination |
| Eco-Friendly | No adhesive or extra vinyl waste | Generates plastic waste |
In summary: UV flatbed printing is cleaner, faster, and more reliable. The ink bonds directly with the coroplast surface and cures instantly under UV light, ensuring outdoor-grade durability even under rain or sunlight.
Understanding Flute Direction in Coroplast Sign Printing
One key factor when ordering coroplast signs is flute direction — the internal channels that determine how the sign can be mounted.
Vertical flutes: Ideal for inserting H-stakes or step stakes for lawn and yard signs.
Horizontal flutes: Better for wall mounting, hanging, or framing applications.
When you order from Hi5 Canada, we’ll confirm the flute orientation with you to ensure the sign fits your installation method perfectly.
