Custom Coloured PVC Foam Board

Custom Coloured PVC Foam Board from Jiatao Industrial

As a Custom Coloured PVC Foam Board manufacturer and supplier based in Hangzhou, China, Jiatao Industrial Co., Ltd. produces through-colour rigid PVC foam sheets for demanding applications across signage, furniture, and interior construction. Our extrusion lines are configured for colour consistency from surface to core, with annual capacity exceeding 25,000 tons and export experience serving clients in the United States, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, the UK, South Korea, Australia, and Canada.

We position our coloured foam board range as a design-driven alternative to standard white PVC foam board. The integral pigmentation eliminates the white edge effect after cutting, making the material suitable for visible edges in POP displays, cabinet doors, wall cladding, and architectural models. Our engineering team works from your density, thickness, colour, and dimensional requirements to produce sheets that match the mechanical and aesthetic demands of your project.

Product Range and Application Fit

Our coloured PVC foam board range covers nominal thicknesses from 3 mm to 30 mm, with standard sheet sizes of 1220 x 2440 mm (4' x 8') and custom dimensions on request. Density is controlled between 0.4 and 0.8 g/cm³ depending on the application, and we offer both free-foam and Celuka structures. The table below summarises typical configurations and where each is best applied.

For signage and visual communication, we supply bright yellow, orange, sky blue, deep blue, black, green, and grey sheets with a smooth matte surface that accepts UV flatbed, screen, and solvent inks without primer. For furniture and cabinet manufacturing, our 18 mm white/green and other high-density colour options provide a moisture-resistant, formaldehyde-free substrate that can be sawed, routed, and edge-banded with standard woodworking tools.

Engineering Value and Customisation

We are an OEM/ODM supplier, not a stockist of standard white board. Our R&D team develops formulations based on your performance targets: UV stability for outdoor signage, higher density for screw retention in cabinet construction, or a specific RAL colour match for brand consistency. We can adjust the pigment package, add UV stabilisers for extended exterior exposure, or modify the foam structure to balance weight and stiffness.

Colour matching is a core competency. We use through-colour technology, meaning the pigment is dispersed throughout the PVC matrix rather than applied as a coating. This ensures that after cutting, routing, or engraving, the exposed edge shows the same colour as the surface—critical for 3D lettering and edge-visible panels. For projects requiring a specific brand colour, we work from a Pantone or RAL reference to produce a custom batch.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Our factory operates under ISO9001, and our products are tested to meet REACH, RoHS, and SGS standards. Each production batch is checked for thickness tolerance (±0.3 mm on standard sheets), density uniformity, and colour consistency. We also verify water absorption (<0.5% per ASTM D570) and flammability (UL94 HB or B1 grade, depending on formulation). These tests are documented and can be shared with your quality team.

For projects with strict compliance requirements, we can provide material declarations and test reports. Our quality department conducts full inspections on finished sheets, not just sampling, to ensure that dimensional accuracy and surface finish meet the agreed specification before packing.

Installation, Fabrication, and Maintenance

Coloured PVC foam board is designed for easy fabrication, but correct tooling and technique are essential to avoid edge chipping or surface marring. We recommend carbide-tipped circular blades (10–12 TPI) or CNC single-flute tools for cutting. For bonding, solvent cement (MEK/THF) or double-sided acrylic foam tape works well. When printing, UV or screen inks should be cured below 65°C to prevent distortion.

The material is inherently waterproof and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. For outdoor use, standard colours provide 6–12 months of UV stability before noticeable fading; we can supply UV-stabilised batches for longer exposure. Cleaning is simple with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.

Project Support and Documentation

We provide technical datasheets, fabrication guidelines, and installation recommendations with every order. Our team can also assist with packaging design for export, including palletisation and protective film, to ensure sheets arrive flat and undamaged. For large projects, we offer pre-production samples for colour and density approval before mass production.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

To prepare a precise quotation and production plan, we need the following project parameters:

• Thickness and sheet size – including any custom dimensions beyond 1220 x 2440 mm.
• Density target – typically 0.4–0.8 g/cm³, depending on structural or decorative use.
• Colour specification – RAL, Pantone, or a physical sample for matching.
• Quantity and delivery schedule – annual volume or per-order basis.
• Application details – indoor/outdoor, printing method, edge visibility, load requirements.
• Compliance needs – RoHS, REACH, UL94, or other certifications required by your market.

With this information, we can recommend the appropriate foam structure, pigment system, and additive package, and provide a sample for your evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match a specific brand colour?

Yes. We produce custom colours based on RAL, Pantone, or a physical sample. Through-colour pigmentation ensures the shade is consistent throughout the sheet, so cut edges match the surface.

What thickness range is available for coloured boards?

We offer coloured PVC foam board from 3 mm to 30 mm nominal thickness. Thinner sheets (3–6 mm) are ideal for signage and thermoforming, while thicker boards (10–30 mm) suit furniture and structural applications.

Are your coloured boards suitable for outdoor use?

Standard colours are UV-resistant for 6–12 months of outdoor exposure. For longer outdoor life, we can add UV stabilisers to the formulation or recommend a protective coating. We also offer weather-resistant grades for exterior signage.

Do you provide samples before mass production?

Yes. We can send pre-production samples for colour, density, and surface finish approval. This is especially important for custom colours or when the board will be printed or laminated.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom colours?

MOQ depends on thickness and colour. For standard colours like white, black, or grey, we can accommodate smaller orders. For custom colours, a full production batch may be required to ensure colour consistency. Contact us with your volume to discuss.
