A painted polystyrene logo. 1000mm high, 150mm thick. Artwork was sent to us as a vector eps file. The logo was cut from 50mm thick polystyrene and 100mm thick polystyrene. each layer was glued together and then a thin coating of resin was applied, it was then sanded and painted in the company corporate colours matched to their pantone numbers. we used Dulux vinyl matt emulsion to paint the logo with. The resin was applied in a 1mm thin layer to fill in the uneven finish of the polystyrene so when it was sanded a smoother finish would result. It was a good alternative way to get a smooth finish on the face of large letters and logos instead of card facing or foamex facing. A slight texture was still visible mostly the result of the paint that was applied by using a roller. the finish on the face looked similar to a painted plaster. We also coated the sides in resin, though it was not necessary because the cutting process of the polystyrene provided a smooth.

XPSFOAM Letters
XPS Foam letters are the ideal solution for 3d letters on exhibition stand displays.
XPS foam letters, also known as expanded polystyrene foam letters, are commonly used for exhibition header panels due to several reasons:
- Lightweight: XPS foam is lightweight, making it easy to handle and install. This is particularly beneficial for exhibition displays, where large header panels need to be mounted on walls or suspended from ceilings.
- Versatility: XPS foam letters can be easily cut and shaped into various sizes and designs, allowing for customized header panels that match the branding and theme of the exhibition. They can be created in different fonts, styles, and thicknesses to achieve the desired visual impact.
- Durability: XPS foam is a durable material that can withstand the rigors of transportation, installation, and the exhibition environment. It is resistant to moisture, mildew, and rot, which helps maintain the appearance of the header panels throughout the duration of the exhibition.
- Cost-effective: XPS foam is an affordable material compared to other options such as metal or acrylic. This makes it a popular choice for temporary exhibition displays where cost considerations may be a factor.
- Easy customization: XPS foam letters can be easily painted or coated to match specific colors or finishes. This allows for further customization and branding opportunities, ensuring the header panels align with the overall design and aesthetics of the exhibition.
- Attention-grabbing: The three-dimensional nature of XPS foam letters adds depth and visual interest to the header panels, making them more eye-catching and memorable for exhibition attendees. This helps draw attention to the exhibition area and enhance the overall impact of the display.
Overall, XPS foam letters offer a combination of lightweight construction, versatility, durability, affordability, and customization options that make them suitable for creating attractive and effective header panels for exhibition displays.
Polystyrene 3D Logos
Large 3D logos can be made from polystyrene with a vinyl card face. Logos in 3D are an ideal method of advertising inside shops. Hanging from ceilings or fixed to walls.
An example of one of the logos supplied to a London Department store. The logo was 1700mm x 770mm x 400mm thick, matt vinyl faced with grey painted sides and back.
