- What is the difference between gatorboard and polystyrene prints?
At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we offer high-quality styrene panels and gatorboard panels for custom signage and displays. Styrene is a flexible PVC plastic that can be rolled up, offering some rigidity but not as stiff as gatorboard. Gatorboard is made by sandwiching a layer of foam between two styrene sheets, creating large, durable display panels that resist warping, unlike traditional polystyrene panels. These materials are ideal for professional sign printing in La Mesa, CA and long-lasting displays.
- What is the difference between gatorboard and ultraboard?
At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we offer ultraboard panels and gatorboard panels for professional sign printing and display graphics. Ultraboard has a plastic front and back with a foam core, offering rigidity, dent resistance, and long-lasting interior performance. Gatorboard is similar, with wood-fiber veneer faces providing durable, interior-ready panels. Both are ideal for high-quality custom signage in La Mesa, CA, trade shows, retail displays, and long-term interior graphics projects.
- What is the difference between gatorboard and foamcore?
At 858 Graphics in La Mesa, CA, we offer both gatorboard panels and foamcore panels for professional custom signage and display graphics. Both materials are designed for interior use due to their foam-based cores. Foamcore panels are ideal for temporary signage, while gatorboard panels provide long-term durability. Gatorboard is highly dent-resistant, impact-resistant, and moisture-resistant thanks to the plastic veneer on both faces, making it perfect for high-quality custom interior signage in La Mesa, CA.
