Custom PVC Round Signs – Durable Custom Circle Signage

Our Custom Round PVC signs are printed directly onto a bright white, smooth, PVC foam board — ideal for crisp, high-impact graphics and professional messaging. This material delivers vibrant colour, excellent readability, and excellent print performance across a range of applications.

You can provide your artwork in three easy ways (see Artwork & Canva Sharing below): upload a design, create it with our online tools, or share your Canva link so we can work from your original editable file.

3mm PVC Foam Board – Lightweight & Flexible

5mm PVC Foam Board – Balanced Strength & Durability
