What EZ Print prints for rigid board

EZ Print is a printing company in Singapore, trading since 2017 and working in the Central Business District. Boards and bonded stock that hold their own shape, judged at the cut edge. 20 objects in this section are made of it, across stands and display systems, collateral, large format and signage, and they are bought most often for retail, launch, conference and exhibition stand. Each one below states what it is, what it is printed on, how it feels in the hand, what it suits, its lead time — the one standard window, stated identically on every entry — and the mistake made with it most often. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

20entries

Every one a real commercial print product, described by what it is made of rather than by what it looks like.

6fields

What it is, what it is printed on, how it feels, what it suits, the lead time and the common mistake. Every entry answers all six.

The shelf

All of it, with the specification attached.

Every entry states the same six things in the same order, so two objects can be compared without reading two pages of prose. The lead time is typical and confirmed on quote; the mistake is the one that costs a reprint.

No plateEvery fact that would tell this drawing apart — panel count, overlap width, curve radius, magnetic bar pitch — is hardware geometry the estate holds no figure for, and the printed panel itself is a plain laminated drop with no layer order or edge specific to it. Blank space is the honest answer until there is a photograph of the frame.

Stands and display systems · Large format

Curved and straight pop-up display

A folding lattice frame that opens into a wall without tools, with graphic panels hung across it on magnetic bars. Curved and straight are the same hardware set differently.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Fabric and tension Woven panel at finished proportion, 600 × 2200 mm, in woven display cloth, with the 15 mm the slim silicone-edge profile swallows off every edge drawn at the panel's own scale.

Stands and display systems · Large format

Modular tower and counter

Two objects from one frame system: a tall skinned tower that is seen across a hall, and a waist-high counter that gives a person somewhere to stand. Both re-skin, both pack into the same case.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

No plateThe entry says in its own words that the rack is hardware and is not printed, so half of it cannot be drawn at all; the other half is a die-cut net, and the estate holds no die line for it. A drawing of one panel of a folded holder would assert a specification that does not exist.

Stands and display systems · Collateral

Literature rack and brochure stand

Two answers to one problem: a folding rack that is hardware and outlives every campaign, and a die-cut folded board that is print and carries a message of its own on the way to the brochure.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

No plateThe product is a snap frame and a water-fillable base; the print in it is a plain poster in a slot with no layer order, no relief, no allowance and no edge specific to it. If a standard poster size is ever committed to the panel table this can carry a drop — until then the frame is the thing worth photographing, not drawing.

Stands and display systems · Signage · Large format

A-frame pavement sign

Two hinged panels that stand on their own, holding a poster behind a snap frame. The frame outlives every poster it carries, so the running cost is the sheet and nothing else.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Film, in section, on its surface Section through a 4-layer film applied to the reverse face of a clear acrylic panel and read through it: the ink on the reverse of the face film, which is why the file is mirrored. Layer order and count, not layer thickness.

Stands and display systems · Signage

Acrylic standoff sign

A clear acrylic panel held off the wall on barrels, with the graphic printed on the reverse face so it is read through the panel and protected by it. The default reception-wall treatment.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through foam-cored display board — a cellular core under two thin liners, its core repeat drawn at the plate scale of 0.4 mm to 6 px. The depth is structure and is not to scale.

Stands and display systems · Large format

Life-size standee

A printed figure cut to its own outline and stood on a folding strut, so a person or a product appears at full size in a room. The cheapest object on a stand that people photograph themselves beside.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Fabric and tension Woven panel at finished proportion, 4000 × 2400 mm, in blockout cloth, with the 25 mm the standard silicone-edge profile swallows off every edge drawn at the panel's own scale.

Stands and display systems · Large format

Modular backdrop wall

A bolt-together aluminium wall skinned in tensioned fabric, assembled straight, curved or cornered from the same parts — and the step-and-repeat media wall built on the same frame for a camera.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through hoarding plywood — a stack of cross-laminated veneers. The depth is structure and is not to scale. A run of 6000 mm is drawn above it as 5 fixed modules.

Large format · Signage

Construction hoarding graphics

Printed panels fixed to the timber hoarding around a site, working as a fence, an advertisement and a piece of the street for as long as the works run.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through paper honeycomb board — a hexagonal-cell core between two bonded liners, its core repeat drawn at the plate scale of 10 mm to 6 px. The depth is structure and is not to scale.

Stands and display systems · Signage

Honeycomb board panels

A paper-cored rigid board: two liners bonded to a honeycomb of paper cells. Stiff for its weight, printable directly, and at the end of the show it belongs in the paper stream rather than the plastic one.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through aluminium composite — a pair of hairline skins bonded either side of a soft core. The depth is structure and is not to scale.

Signage · Large format

Aluminium composite panels

Two thin aluminium skins bonded to a plastic core — the flattest exterior panel in common use, and the one that still looks straight after a year on a wall. Sold under trade names including Dibond and Alupanel.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through expanded pvc — a homogeneous section with no separate skin. The depth is structure and is not to scale.

Signage · Stands and display systems

Foam PVC panels

A closed-cell foamed PVC board — light, matt, easy to cut and easy to fix — which is why it has become the default rigid panel for indoor display. Sold under trade names including Foamex, Forex and Palight.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Rigid panel, at the core Section through twin-wall polypropylene — a twin-wall section with flutes standing between two skins, its core repeat drawn at the plate scale of 4 mm to 6 px. The depth is structure and is not to scale.

Signage · Large format

Fluted polypropylene panels

The corrugated plastic board used for short-life outdoor work: waterproof, light, quick to fix, and honest about being temporary. Sold under trade names including Correx and Coroplast.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of bonded duplex at 600 gsm bonded, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 0.72 mm. The edge is painted by hand and drawn as a band rather than as a line. 2 sheets bonded, with 1 seam drawn.

Collateral

Painted-edge card

Colour applied by hand to the guillotined edge of a stack and left to cure, so the card carries a band of colour nobody expects to find there. The edge does the work and the faces can stay quiet.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of bonded triplex at 900 gsm bonded, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 1.24 mm. The edge is left as the guillotine leaves it. 3 sheets bonded, with 2 seams drawn.

Collateral

Bonded duplex and triplex card

Two or three sheets laminated face to face to reach a thickness no single sheet in the range gives. The bond line shows as a stripe along every cut edge, and on a coloured core that stripe is the point.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of bonded triplex at 900 gsm bonded, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 1.24 mm. The middle ply is a colour, drawn as the stripe it makes around the whole silhouette. 3 sheets bonded, with 2 seams drawn.

Packaging · Collateral

Coloured-core swing tag

A tag cut from bonded board with a coloured middle ply, so the only colour on an otherwise plain piece is the stripe running round its edge and ringing the cord hole.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of matt art card at 350 gsm, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 0.36 mm. The edge is left as the guillotine leaves it. A soft touch film is drawn over the face.

Collateral · Packaging

Soft-touch laminated cover

A rubberised matt film bonded over the print, with a micro-textured surface that reads as suede under a fingertip. It is the most-noticed finish in a stack and the one that shows every mark.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A flat net, scored and cut Flat net at finished proportion, 120 × 120 mm, in uncoated woodfree at 400 gsm: a shaped cut contour. Nothing here folds, so no caliper is drawn at a fold and none is claimed.

Packaging · Collateral

Die-cut shapes

Steel rule bent to a shape, set into a forme and pressed through the sheet. It makes the cuts a guillotine cannot make, and the shape you get is the shape a rule can be bent to.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of kraft board at 350 gsm, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 0.46 mm. The edge is left as the guillotine leaves it.

Collateral · Packaging

Kraft and uncoated texture

Two sheets with nothing on top of them: unbleached kraft, brown the whole way through, and uncoated woodfree, where the ink dries into the fibre instead of sitting on it.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A flat net, scored and cut Flat net at finished proportion, 210 × 99 mm, in matt art card at 350 gsm: 2 scores, 1 perforation run, a rectangular cut contour. The bead of every score is drawn on the inside of the bend, and the caliper at the fold is 0.36 mm.

Collateral · Packaging

Perforation and scoring

Two operations that are constantly confused. A score is a channel pressed into the sheet so it folds without cracking. A perforation is a line of cuts and ties so a part comes away straight.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Relief and gloss on a sheet Matt art card at 400 gsm, at finished proportion, 90 × 54 mm, carrying 3 passes struck in register — a blind emboss, raised out of the sheet and lit from above left, then a block strike, drawn as relief because foil colour is not simulated, then a spot varnish with a hard edge, standing proud of the sheet — with the tolerance between them drawn, with the 5 mm keep-out from the trim drawn at the same proportion.

Collateral

Combined finishes on one card

What happens when a sheet carries more than one finish: the order the passes have to run in, the tolerance that stacks up across them, and the pairs that simply refuse to share a card.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Three ways in, and the other two are still open. The same entries are catalogued by occasion, by object and by substance, because a buyer arrives knowing one of the three.

Narrow it another way.

If nothing here is the object you had in mind, the other two indexes hold the same entries under different headings.
