A forex cutout standee is a rigid PVC foam board (forex) that is printed with a person, character, product or logo and cut to that outline, then fitted with an easel back so it stands. Print Near Me makes forex cutout standees in Abu Dhabi from desktop size to life-size, with smooth or matt finishes.
Forex is the board of choice for cutout standees because it is smooth, light, rigid and takes print beautifully. Unlike thin cardboard, a forex standee will not warp in showroom air-conditioning, wipes clean, and holds a crisp contour on shapes with arms, hair, logos or product silhouettes.
Print Near Me prints your artwork on adhesive vinyl, laminates it for scratch protection and mounts it on forex before cutting to shape by CNC or router. For retail, we make product-shaped standees that stand beside a display. For events, we make life-size brand ambassadors, mascots and photo-op characters. Easel backs or foot supports are fitted so the standee stays upright on a flat floor.
Forex cutouts give shape and personality to your display. Consider these points.
