Falconboard Signs

You waited in line five people deep for your morning cappuccino, finally reached the barista, only to be told "sorry we're closed" as they walked away to take their lunch break. The social contract of coffee shop hours? Dead. Your faith in humanity? Questionable. Your need for caffeine? CRITICAL.

Which is why you're here, designing a sign that says "OPEN MEANS OPEN" in 72-point Helvetica. Not for them—they're beyond saving. For you. For your home office. For the principle of the thing.

Its rigid honeycomb structure and paper face offers superior performance and excellent print quality. Perfect for trade show graphics, retail displays, pop displays, and other interior signage applications where you need to make a point without throwing actual furniture.

Custom Falconboard Signs

The thing about betrayal is it makes you want to build something permanent. Something that won't walk away at 11:47am claiming "lunch break" while you stand there, wallet out, dignity evaporating.

Create lightweight, durable custom Falconboard signs cut to any custom shape or size, printed with vibrant HP latex inks on your choice of honeycomb kraft or white color core. Its rigid honeycomb structure and paper face offers superior performance and excellent print quality. Trade show graphics, retail displays, pop displays, interior signage—all the applications where disappointment isn't the primary design element.

What Are Falconboard Signs?

Falconboard® is an environmentally friendly, fully recyclable rigid graphics media board. Made primarily from renewable forest resources and post-consumer recycled fibers. Trees died for this, but ethically.

This board stands out from other traditional foam board options like Gatorboard and Sintra PVC board due to its superior performance and excellent print quality. We also have custom PVC signs, custom sintra signs, custom styrene signs, and custom acrylic signs if you're the type who needs options after being denied your basic morning beverage.

Falconboard's unique structurally engineered "sandwich-like" construction provides additional strength, high rigidity, and dimensional stability. Improved performance and excellent printability compared to traditional foam board options. Unlike coffee shop schedules, it maintains structural integrity when you need it most.

Falconboard Features

Rigid & Bold

Remember standing there, watching them flip the sign from OPEN to CLOSED while maintaining eye contact? That's the energy we're channeling here.

1/2" honeycomb in kraft or white core makes your display stand out, turn heads, and enhance your edges. Adds depth to its three-dimensional look. Makes people stop and actually read what you wrote about appropriate business hours and the erosion of social norms.

Double-Sided Printing

Need to print on both sides of your falconboard sign? No problem. Print the same image on both sides or mix it up—unique images for each side. One side says "WE'RE OPEN," the other says "NO REALLY, WE MEAN IT."

Custom Shapes & Sizes

The barista's indifference was one-size-fits-all. Your sign doesn't have to be.

Customize your falconboard sign to match your specific size and shape requirements. Choose from rounded corners (1", 3/4", 1/2", 1/4", and 3/8") and cut options including circle, oval, and die-cut (halo). Fully personalize the shape and size. Make it the exact dimensions of your shattered expectations if you want.

100% Completely Recyclable

After using it, take your fully recyclable graphics media to your nearest recycling station. Made primarily from renewable forest resources and post-consumer recycled fibers. Be environmentally responsible, unlike certain coffee establishments with their arbitrary closing times.

Full-Color Latex Printing

Your design printed in full color with vibrant HP Latex UV-resistant inks. Lasting fade-resistant vibrancy and unmatched color accuracy at 1000 dpi. The colors won't abandon you mid-morning. They're contractually obligated to stay vivid.

Falconboard Signs Frequently Asked Questions

What is Falconboard?

Falconboard is a recyclable, rigid sign material made with a honeycomb paper core and paper liners. Designed for custom displays and high-quality printed signage, typically used indoors.

Is Falconboard sturdy or paper-based?

Both. Made entirely from paper materials but constructed to be impressively strong. The honeycomb core distributes stress effectively.

What holds the material together?

The internal honeycomb structure is sandwiched between two smooth, coated paper liners, bonded securely with adhesive. This design distributes weight and prevents sagging. Lightweight but incredibly durable.

How is this different from printing on cardboard?

Falconboard is stronger and flatter than cardboard. Doesn't warp as easily, supports higher-quality printing, stays structurally intact for longer-lasting displays.

Can I print on both sides of a Falconboard display?

Falconboard can be printed double-sided. Many customers use it for hanging signs and freestanding displays that need visibility from multiple angles.

What's the difference between Falconboard and corrugated plastic or foam board?

Corrugated plastic is waterproof but not eco-friendly. Foam board is lightweight but dents easily. Falconboard is more rigid than foam board and fully recyclable.

Are Falconboard signs fine for outdoor use?

No, don't use these outdoors since this paper-based material isn't water-resistant. Indoor environments only. Contact our team for outdoor sign recommendations.

How long do Falconboard displays last?

Falconboard lasts several months to a year or more indoors, depending on handling and installation location. Somewhere between temporary and semi-permanent.

Is Falconboard an environmentally friendly material?

Yes. Made from renewable, recyclable paper materials and 100% recyclable itself.

How many colors can I use on Falconboard displays?

Print full-color, high-resolution graphics. Nothing off-limits with SF Bay Signs. CMYK printing allows photos, logos, gradients, and more with crisp detail.

What if I don't want to use one of SF Bay Signs' templates?

Upload your own design or use our design tool to create from scratch. We support complete customization. Get help from our design experts.

Are these signs heat resistant?

Falconboard tolerates normal indoor temperatures but isn't built for high heat or direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure may cause warping or fading.

Is there a laminate finish covering the printed part of these signs?

No default laminate applied, but lamination can be requested for added durability or protection if needed.

Can I customize the drill holes in Falconboard displays?

Yes, we offer optional drilled holes with custom placement to suit hanging or mounting preferences.

Can I build 3D displays using Falconboard?

Falconboard works GREAT for lightweight, freestanding 3D structures like kiosk displays, shelves, and multi-panel setups. Avoid excessive weight though.

Are Falconboard signs strong enough to hold heavy objects?

No. Really durable, but not meant for weight-bearing objects. Use for signage and light display elements only.

Where can I mount Falconboard displays?

Mount on easels, hang from ceilings, attach to walls with adhesive or Velcro, slot into display stands—whatever your space requires, custom Falconboard signs deliver.

Do I need to worry about denting, fading, warping, or scratching?

Falconboard resists warping better than foam board but can dent or scratch if handled roughly. Keep indoors, avoid moisture to extend life.

What are the best uses for custom Falconboard signs?

Perfect for retail signage, POP displays, event signage, promotional cutouts, hanging signs, directional signage, and tradeshows.

Are Falconboard displays reusable?

Yes, to some extent. Store flat and handle with care.

How should I store my displays when not in use?

Lay flat in a clean, dry space. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent warping or crushing the core.

How do I install Falconboard signs?

Use command strips, double-sided tape, Velcro, easels, or hang with grommets or drilled holes. Installation is simple and tool-free in most cases.

Will I need someone to help me with installation?

Not necessarily. Falconboard is lightweight and easy to manage solo, but for large or elevated installations, an extra hand may help.
