Choosing falconboard signs

Falconboard is a display-board option to discuss for temporary graphics and sign panels. Share the finished dimensions, display location, support method, and handling plans. The quote should identify the exact board construction and finish; any recycling or disposal requirements need to match the actual product and local collection rules.

Key takeaways

  • Start from the viewing scene: a front-facing wall panel, hanging piece, or freestanding assembly creates different edge and support questions.
  • Pair every artwork file with a panel identifier, finished dimensions, top direction, and intended viewing face.
  • If an environmental attribute affects approval, request the exact manufacturer evidence for the complete proposed construction.
  • Use a numbered assembly view to expose mismatches among panel direction, graphic sides, cut edges, and fixture points.

Falconboard printing & display options

Panel size and construction

Quoted construction
Manufacturer, product family or grade, face and core description, thickness, and supporting data
Panel map
Finished width and height, panel identifier, top direction, grain or core orientation when relevant, and cut outline
Viewing record
Front, reverse, and exposed-edge views connected to the correct artwork and finish notes
Presentation interface
Fixture, stand, hanging point, frame, base, or wall method supplied for feasibility review
Handling conditions
Number of planned moves, contact areas, packing method, storage position, and venue constraints
Claim support
Current documentation required for content, sourcing, reuse, recycling, fire, or environmental statements

Print and support options

  • Assign artwork to one face or supply separate, oriented files for two visible faces.
  • Submit a dimensioned contour when the panel follows a figure, product, or campaign shape.
  • Specify whether the cellular edge may remain visible or must be covered, framed, or otherwise resolved.
  • Bring the actual display fixture or its approved measurements into the support discussion.
  • Request a substrate comparison when moisture, repeated impact, structural loading, certification, or outdoor exposure is part of the brief.

Before assigning graphics to faces, consult Artwork Setup for final scale, file naming, image quality, type, bleed, and contour preparation.

Retail, event, and presentation displays

  • An interior graphic whose fixture and visible edges are already mapped
  • A shaped presentation piece with an approved outline and stable support concept
  • A portable display with documented packing, movement, and storage conditions
  • Hypothetical example: a two-panel exhibit that assigns separate art, top direction, and hanging points to panels A and B

From display artwork to production

  1. 1) Trace the display journey

    Explain the venue, viewing sides, support method, handling frequency, travel, storage, contact, moisture, heat, and any end-of-use requirement.

  2. 2) Number the physical pieces

    Give every panel finished dimensions, a top edge, an approved outline, visible-edge notes, and a fixture or hanging reference supplied by the responsible party.

  3. 3) Route art to construction

    Connect each file to its panel face, then review output scale, cut clearance, proposed finish, board identity, and unsupported assumptions before approval.

  4. 4) Confirm the whole assembly

    The accepted record should settle components, support responsibility, packing, timing, handoff, and any documentation needed for reuse or environmental claims.

Falconboard sign questions

What does the Falconboard name tell me?

It points to a product family, not a complete display specification. Ask the quote to identify the exact grade, thickness, face and core construction, finishing, and documented limitations proposed for the job.

Why does panel orientation need to be shown?

Direction can affect how a cellular board, cut outline, printed face, edge, and support are interpreted during review. Mark the top edge and finished width and height so artwork and physical orientation cannot be swapped accidentally.

May the cellular edge remain visible?

That is a design and production decision. Show which edges visitors can see and the appearance you expect. The available natural, covered, framed, or finished treatment must be confirmed for the quoted board and fabrication scope.

Can I describe the finished sign as recyclable?

Only with support for the exact finished construction and the intended collection route. Printed layers, coatings, adhesives, trim, and hardware may affect acceptance. Current manufacturer information and the receiving recycler should govern the claim.

How should I plan repeated use?

State how many moves are anticipated, who handles the pieces, how they travel, where they rest, and the condition required at the next use. The quote can respond to those inputs but should not promise a universal lifespan.

What should the assembly approval show?

Use a panel map or mockup that identifies each numbered piece, top direction, visible face, exposed edge, cut outline, and supplied support point. When a fixture belongs to a venue or another vendor, its accepted dimensions remain project inputs; the graphic proof does not validate that outside design.

When should the request move to another substrate?

Flag exterior exposure, moisture, concentrated loads, repeated impact, required certifications, or unsupported fixture geometry. The quotation can identify an available alternative instead of forcing the display onto Falconboard.
