Home » Rigid Signs » Styrene and Ultraboard Signs
Thin styrene for menus, table tents, counter cards and shelf signs, and stiff Ultraboard for retail displays and large inside panels. Printed in full color in our Linden shop, cut to size with easel backs, and ready for pickup or delivery across New Jersey. We also deliver in the five boroughs; see our NYC service area.
Styrene is a thin, smooth plastic sheet, from about .020 to .060 of an inch. It prints sharp and bends a little, which makes it right for menus, table tents, counter cards and shelf signs.
Ultraboard is a stiff foam board with a hard plastic face. It is light like foam board but resists warping, so it suits large retail displays and panels that must stay flat.
Both are for inside. For a light board for one event, see foam board.

A few tips from our shop that save time and money.
Everything after the artwork is done in our Linden shop or by our own crews.
Full color print right on the board, or cut vinyl letters for sharp, simple text.
Straight cuts, rounded corners, drilled holes and routed custom shapes.
Laminate for signs that face sun, rain or a lot of hands.
Stakes, frames, posts, standoffs, rivets and tape, matched to the board.
Our own crews put signs up on walls, posts, fences and in the ground.
Collect from our Linden shop, or we deliver across New Jersey and NYC.
Send your artwork or a rough idea. We set it up, send a proof, print, cut and finish in Linden, then hand it over, ship it or put it up for you. Need design help? See sign design.
One team and one price. Your quote covers the site survey, design, fabrication and installation, so nothing gets passed to another company.
A photo of the wall or storefront, your logo and a rough size. Use the form, email or a call.
We survey the site when needed and send a drawing with sizes, colors and mounting, plus one all in price.
A 50 percent deposit starts production in our Linden shop. If the sign needs a permit, we handle the paperwork.
Our own crew installs it, with bucket and boom trucks for high work. The balance is due at installation.
Our shop sits in Union County, so most New Jersey jobs are a short drive for our crews. Pick your area to see local work, or call us for projects farther away.
