Here is a breakdown of our premium rigid display offerings:
Lightweight Foam Board & Foam Core Signs
The industry standard for temporary indoor displays. Foam board printing features a polystyrene core sandwiched between two sheets of paper. It is the go-to choice for event directional signage and presentation boards due to its incredible portability and cost-effectiveness.
Heavy-Duty Gator Board Mounting
For those needing extra durability, Gator Board is a premium upgrade. Unlike standard foamcore, it features a chemically treated wood-fiber veneer that resists moisture and warping. It is the preferred choice for art gallery displays and long-term office signage.
Modern Acrylic & Plexi Glass Mounting
Achieve a stunning, high-gloss "floating" look. We mount high-resolution prints behind clear acrylic for a 3D effect. This is a favorite for upscale interior designers looking to create a sleek, museum-quality atmosphere in corporate lobbies.
Industrial Alumacore & Dibond Signs
Aluminum composite materials (Dibond) offer extreme rigidity with a modern industrial edge. These are perfect for permanent outdoor branding or high-end retail displays that require a material that will never rust or bend.
Durable PVC Sintra & Ultra Board
Sintra board is a robust, heat-resistant plastic board that is ideal for high-traffic areas. For an even more premium look, Ultra Board provides a heavy-duty plastic face that is virtually indestructible, making it perfect for reusable trade show graphics.
Coroplast & Weather-Resistant Signage
Commonly known as corrugated signs, Coroplast is the budget-friendly king of outdoor temporary signage. It is waterproof and lightweight, making it perfect for NYC street marketing or outdoor event wayfinding.
Luster Board Signs
Luster board signs offer a premium "satin" finish, striking the perfect balance between high-gloss vibrancy and matte anti-glare. Ideal for NYC art galleries and corporate lobbies, these rigid boards provide museum-quality color depth without distracting reflections. Durable and fingerprint-resistant, they are a favorite for designers seeking a sophisticated, professional look for high-traffic Manhattan events and exhibitions.
Interchangeable Magnetic Signs
Interchangeable magnetic signs transform your vehicle into a professional mobile billboard in seconds.

It’s the ultimate flexible, damage-free solution for versatile vehicle advertising across Manhattan.
MDO Plywood Signs
MDO Plywood signs are the heavy-duty standard for rugged outdoor durability in NYC. Featuring a smooth, resin-infused fiber overlay, these weather-resistant boards are ideal for construction site safety signs and permanent site hoardings. They offer a stable, long-lasting surface that resists moisture and impact, ensuring your high-visibility graphics remain professional and compliant even in harsh Manhattan environments.
Poly Styrene Signs
Poly-styrene signs are a versatile, lightweight solution for high-resolution graphics that require a thin, flexible substrate. Perfect for retail displays and event inserts, these durable plastic sheets offer extreme flexibility without creasing. They are moisture-resistant and provide a smooth, flat surface for vibrant branding, making them ideal for curved installations and professional temporary signage throughout Midtown Manhattan and beyond today.

Whether you need a contour cut of your brand’s logo or a life-size standee for a promotional event, our precision die-cutting ensures clean, smooth edges that make your custom rigid signs truly stand out from the competition.
-
Protective Lamination & Finishes: To extend the lifespan of your large format rigid signs NYC, we offer a variety of premium laminations.

These finishes protect against scratches, fading, and UV damage, ensuring your investment lasts.
-
Edge Capping & Framing: For thicker materials like Gator board and rigid foam, we offer protective edge capping in various colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rigid Display Boards | FAQ
Q: What is the difference between standard foam board and gator board?
Answer: While both are lightweight rigid display boards used heavily in presentations and retail, their construction differs significantly. Standard foam board has a polystyrene core with paper faces, making it affordable but susceptible to denting and warping over time. Gator board features a similar core but is faced with a rigid wood-fiber veneer. This makes Gator board much stronger, highly resistant to warping, and a much better option for long-term displays or high-traffic trade show display boards.
Q: Can I get custom shapes or die-cut rigid display boards in NYC?
Answer: Absolutely! Digital City Printing is equipped with advanced digital routing and die-cutting machinery right in our Manhattan facility. We do not just print squares and rectangles; we can contour-cut your large format rigid signs into custom shapes, intricate logos, or life-size standalone cutouts. Whether you are using Sintra, Coroplast, or Gator board, we can bring your unique, creative visions to life with clean, precise edges.
Q: How quickly can I get meter boards or display boards printed in Manhattan?
Answer: We understand that NYC runs on tight deadlines, which is why we offer highly expedited turnaround times. Standard production for rigid display boards typically takes a few business days, but we also offer same-day and next-day rush printing services for many substrates like foam board, meter boards, and Coroplast. Since we produce everything locally in Midtown Manhattan, you never have to worry about long transit times or unexpected shipping delays.
Q: What sizes do your custom rigid display boards come in?
Answer: Because we use large flatbed printers, our size capabilities are extensive. Standard industry sizes include 18"x24", 24"x36", and 36"x48", which are very popular for retail and event signage. However, we can print massive contiguous panels up to 48"x96" (4x8 feet) for materials like foam, Sintra, and DiBond. If you need something even larger, we can tile multiple rigid display boards together to create seamless, wall-to-wall graphic displays.
Q: How do I choose between Sintra, Styrene, and Aluminum for my event?
Answer: The choice depends on the specific usage and aesthetic you desire. Sintra PVC board is thick and rigid, ideal for sturdy, freestanding displays or permanent wall mounting. Styrene is much thinner and flexible, making it the perfect substrate to roll up or curve inside a trade show booth frame. Aluminum or DiBond provides a heavy-duty, premium metallic finish that is best suited for long-term architectural use, high-end gallery prints, or exterior commercial signage.
Q: Do you offer mounting hardware or easel backs for rigid displays?
Answer: Yes, we provide a full suite of finishing and mounting hardware to ensure your rigid display boards are ready to use the moment you receive them. For tabletop displays or floor-standing foam boards, we can attach custom cardboard or metal easel backs. For wall-mounted Acrylic, Aluminum, or Sintra signs, we offer elegant stand-off hardware, french cleats, or heavy-duty double-sided mounting adhesives to match your specific installation requirements in NYC.
