\n\"Gatorfoam,These Gator rigid substrates allow designers and fabricators to create high-performing graphic displays and signage \u2013 for installation both indoors and out \u2013 through both direct digital printing and screen printing.
\n
\nGatorplast consists of extruded polystyrene foam bonded between two high-impact polystyrene cap sheets. Display and sign fabricators can direct screen print and digitally direct print Gatorplast board, saving time, labor and materials. No surface priming or pre-coating is necessary. Additionally, vinyl lettering can be applied to Gatorplast and then removed or repositioned without incurring damage to this graphic display board\u2019s tough, plastic surface.

\n
\nGatorfoam featuring new Bright White facers is the brightest board of its kind, producing vibrant colors in both digital-printing and screen-printing applications. Gatorfoam is an ideal substrate for creating both interior and exterior signage, point-of-purchase displays, exhibits and kiosks.
\n
\nGatorfoam Exterior \u2013 available in the 1-inch, 1.5-inch and 2-inch thicknesses \u2013 is manufactured with a specially formulated adhesive that improves both bond strength and moisture resistance in exterior signage and displays.
