    KAPAplast, often called KAPA board, is a premium rigid foam board for indoor signs and displays. It has a polyurethane foam core between plastic-coated liners, so it stays light but is far stronger, flatter and more dent-resistant than standard foam core board. It's the board to choose when a client asks for printed foam board or foam core but needs it to look sharp and last.


    KAPAplast comes in 5mm, 10mm and 19mm thicknesses, cut to any rectangle up to 2400 x 1200mm, or to a simple custom shape such as a circle or a smooth contour with up to five points. Its bright white surface gives sharp, vibrant UV print for hanging signs, reception displays, exhibitions, retail point of sale and event branding.


    KAPAplast is for indoor use only, because sun and moisture can deform the board. For outdoor signs, choose Corflute®, polypropylene or composite panel (ACM). For a thinner, more flexible indoor board, see Foamed PVC.

    KAPAplast – Print Only

    Our KAPAplast – Print Only signage is a lightweight indoor display solution made from a polyurethane foam core with durable polystyrene (PS) surfaces. This combination provides a flat, smooth surface for high-quality UV printing and mounting, making it ideal for retail environments, exhibitions, POS displays, and interior branding. Available in 5mm, 10mm, and 19mm thicknesses, KAPAplast delivers excellent rigidity while remaining easy to handle and transport. This product is for indoor use only and we do not offer V-cutting on this material.

    Lightweight & Rigid

    KAPAplast combines a lightweight foam core with rigid PS surfaces, providing strength and dimensional stability without the bulk of solid substrates.

    Easy to Handle & Install

    Lightweight construction simplifies transport, setup, and mounting, making KAPAplast an efficient option for large-format display projects.

    Enhanced Surface Strength

    KAPAplast’s rigid PS liners offer better resistance to dents and edge damage than softer foam boards, maintaining a tidy appearance through repeated handling.

    Sustainability

    Lightweight Material Efficiency

    KAPAplast’s foam core uses less raw material than solid plastic boards, reducing total resource use during manufacturing.

    Lower Transport Emissions

    Its low weight decreases transport energy requirements and emissions compared to heavier display materials.

    Recyclable Polystyrene Liners

    The PS liners can be recycled in approved facilities, contributing to circular material recovery where available.

    Low-VOC UV Ink Technology

    Printed using Durst POP Flexible LED inks that are VOC-free and energy-efficient, reducing emissions and environmental impact while maintaining vibrant, durable print quality.

    FAQ

    The maximum sheet size is 2400mm x 1200mm.
    No. KAPAplast is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to sunlight or moisture may cause surface deformation.
    We can cut simple shapes such as rectangles, circles, and smooth contour cuts. Simple convex shapes up to five points are supported, but we do not offer complex or concave cuts.
    Yes. KAPAplast offers strong rigidity and surface stability, ideal for medium to long-term indoor applications.
    Gently wipe with a soft, dry or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive materials that may damage the PS surface.
    Once an order enters production, it cannot be modified or cancelled. Please review your artwork and specifications before submitting.
    All orders require prepayment unless you hold an approved Mediapoint trade account. Accounts are available to resellers with annual spend exceeding $20,000 and a proven payment record.
    Yes. For orders over $1,000, we recommend ordering a small sample first to confirm print quality and finish.
    KAPAplast signage is printed with UV-cured inks, producing a smooth matte finish that enhances colour accuracy and detail.
    If artwork is approved before our daily cut-off, production is typically one business day for jobs under $1,000 + GST. Each additional $2,000+GST add a business day to the lead time.
    KAPAplast can be installed using adhesives, frames, or hanging systems suitable for lightweight indoor signage.

    KAPAplast Print Only pricing is calculated using a true cost, sheet based production model rather than square metre estimates. Sheets are printed in full formats, meaning pricing may remain flat across certain quantity ranges and then step up only when an additional sheet is required. This reflects the real cost of material usage, print setup, handling, and waste, ensuring there are no hidden cost recoveries built into the pricing. This model provides clear, predictable pricing and avoids the distortions that can occur with square metre based approaches, particularly on efficiently laid out jobs.

    No. KAPAplast Print Only orders must follow the configurations and turnaround times available in our system at the time of ordering, and we’re unable to accommodate individual exceptions outside of those parameters. This ensures predictable production, accurate costing, and consistent quality across all jobs. If you have feedback based on recurring usage, regular volume, or customer demand that could justify a system-level improvement, we’re open to reviewing it for future inclusion.
