Shaped Display Boards
Sometimes a rectangle just won't cut it. Our Shaped Display Boards take the same premium rigid Foamex board as our standard display boards — and cut it to any custom shape you like. The result is a standout, eye-catching display that grabs attention in a way a standard board simply can't.
Cut to the outline of your logo, a product silhouette, a directional arrow, a lightbulb, a giant number — whatever your design calls for — these boards are a favourite for photo-shoot props, social media and PR backdrops, exhibition and event displays, retail point-of-sale, and directional signage with personality. Printed in-house in full colour at our Paisley studio and cut precisely to your bespoke shape.
Available in board sizes from A4 to A0, in 3mm or 5mm white or black Foamex, with the same laminate and fixing options as our standard boards. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Typical turnaround 2-4 working days.
We also print to custom sizes, prices on request. Just ask.

Who is this for?
Shaped boards are the choice when standing out matters: marketing and PR teams creating photo-call props and social media backdrops, retailers wanting attention-grabbing point-of-sale, event organisers needing characterful directional signage, and agencies producing standout displays for client campaigns. If you've seen a giant branded shape held up at a charity cheque presentation, product launch, or sporting event — chances are it's a board like this.
What shapes can you cut?
Almost any shape you can design — logos, silhouettes, arrows, letters, numbers, product outlines, and more, cut precisely within your chosen board size. Just include a clear cut line in your artwork (or ask our design team to add one for you).
How should I set up my artwork for a shaped board?
Supply a print-ready PDF with your design plus a clearly marked cut line showing the shape you want cut, with 3mm bleed beyond the cut line. If you're not sure how to set this up, our design team can prepare it for you at £35 per hour — just get in touch before ordering.
Is the shaped board the same material as the standard display board?
Yes — exactly the same premium rigid Foamex board, in the same sizes, thicknesses, and colours. The only difference is that the shaped board is custom-cut to your bespoke outline rather than supplied with square edges.
Can shaped boards be used as photo props?
Absolutely — this is one of their most popular uses. Cut to a logo, hashtag, giant tick, or fun shape, they make brilliant photo-call and social media props for launches, events, fundraisers, and campaigns.
Do you offer a design service for shaped boards?
Yes — our in-house team can design your artwork and set up the cut line at £35 per hour. Contact us before ordering for a quick quote.
