Corflute® is the workhorse of Australian signage: lightweight, weatherproof, low-cost and fast to print. This guide covers what Corflute® signs are, their benefits, the main sign types, costs, sizes and finishing your customers ask for. Mediapoint is a trade-only printer: every Corflute® sign is produced wholesale and blind-shipped under your brand.

What is Corflute®?

Corflute® is Corex's Australian-made corrugated plastic board, a rigid, lightweight fluted polypropylene sheet with a hollow core, like plastic cardboard. It's waterproof, recyclable and takes print beautifully, which makes it the default choice for short-to-medium-term outdoor signage. You'll also see it spelled coreflute or core flute, or called corriboard or correx. We also print a separate Corrugated Plastic board, which can be printed on one or both sides.

How much do Corflute® signs cost?

Corflute® is the cheapest rigid sign material, which is exactly why it dominates short-term signage. The price of a Corflute® sign comes down to four things:

  • SizeLarger signs use more board and ink.
  • QuantityUnit cost drops sharply on volume runs (the sweet spot for trade).
  • Single vs double-sidedDouble-sided prints both faces.
  • FinishingEyelets, taping or custom cutting add a little per sign.

Because we're a trade printer running high volume on automated equipment, resellers get wholesale pricing that leaves healthy margin when on-sold. See Corflute® options.

Corflute® is cut to any size up to 2400 x 1200mm, ordered online with no extra setup. Common formats include A4, A3, A2, A1, 600 x 900mm and 900 x 1200mm.

What does Corflute® mean?

Common questions

What is a Corflute® sign?

A Corflute® sign is a sign printed on Corflute®, a lightweight, waterproof corrugated plastic board (fluted polypropylene) made in Australia by Corex. It is the most common material for short-to-medium-term outdoor signage such as real estate, election, A-frame and construction signs.

What does Corflute® mean?

Corflute® is the registered trade name of Corex's corrugated plastic board, a twin-wall fluted polypropylene sheet. In Australia the word is used loosely for any corrugated plastic sign, and in politics "corflutes" means the election posters candidates put up on fences and poles. You will also see it spelled coreflute or core flute.

What is the difference between Corflute® and corrugated plastic?

Corflute® is Australian-made Corex board and we print it single-sided, in 3mm or 5mm (Corflute® Eco in 5mm). Our Corrugated Plastic is a separate fluted polypropylene board in 3mm or 5mm that we can print on one or both sides, so choose it when both faces need to read.

How much do Corflute® signs cost?

Corflute® is the most economical rigid sign material, so it suits volume runs. The price per sign depends on size, quantity, single or double-sided print, and finishing such as eyelets or taping, and the cost per sign drops sharply as quantity increases. Trade prices show live in the portal once you log in.

How fast can I get Corflute® signs printed?

Corflute® Print Only jobs up to $1,000 + GST placed before the 1pm Melbourne cut-off are produced the next business day. Finished signs with eyelets or taping are next day up to $500 + GST. Larger orders show their dispatch date in the Job Summary before you order, and 99% of orders dispatch on time.

What sizes do Corflute® signs come in?

Any size up to 2400 x 1200mm, ordered online. Common formats are A4, A3, A2, A1, 600 x 900mm and 900 x 1200mm. 5mm is the standard thickness, with 3mm for lighter signs. Print Only boards can also be cut as circles or simple shapes with up to five points; signs with eyelets or taping are rectangles.

How long do Corflute® signs last outdoors?

Around 12 to 24 months in typical Australian conditions before fading or wear shows, depending on sun, wind and how the sign is fixed. For longer life or permanent signage, composite panel is better suited.

Can Corflute® signs be double-sided?

Our Corflute® flat signs are printed single-sided. For a flat sign that reads on both faces, order Corrugated Plastic , which can be printed on one or both sides. Corflute® A-Frames are printed on both sides as standard.

Can I call them Corflute® signs in my own marketing?

No. Corflute® is a registered trademark of Corex Plastics (Australia) Pty Ltd, and resellers are not permitted to use the name in their own marketing. On your website, quotes and invoices, call them corrugated plastic signs or corrugated PP board signs.

Are Corflute® signs recyclable?

Yes. Corflute® is polypropylene, which is widely recyclable. For a greener option, Corflute® Eco is made with 50% recycled content and is Carbon Neutral Certified.
