Maiyan Boards
Get Started
Coroplast boards are durable and a great option for outdoor and indoor use. Its made of plastic material, so if you plan to have your event outdoors, cant go wrong with this type of board. It does not have a smooth finish, but since your design wont be high resolution picture (like someone’s face), it will be unnoticeable. Dont let the price and non-smooth finish make you believe its a cheap board. Its one of the best selling and our favorite.
Foam board is a lightweight board that is ideal for the indoors. Its not as durable as Coroplast boards. However, if you plan to have your event indoors, with no water around and thinking of using as wall art one day, this board will be the better choice.
Sintra board is lightweight but very durable material. Made with PVC material, its the best choice for outdoors and can become your wall art after the event. Though its the most expensive, it can last 10 years without color fading away.
