Why Corriboard Signage Still Works Wonders for Local Visibility
Even in the age of social media and search ads, there’s something powerful about a bold, well-placed sign. According to a UK signage study, 76% of people say they’ve entered a business purely based on its sign. That’s a massive opportunity for visibility, especially if you’re operating in Monaghan, Clones, Ballybay, or Castleblayney.
Corriboard signs are one of the most cost-effective ways to grab attention, whether you’re a tradesperson, a local business, or organising an event. At Design Gaff, we supply high-quality, weatherproof corriboard signs to businesses and communities across County Monaghan.
What Is Corriboard?
Corriboard (also called Correx or fluted polypropylene) is a lightweight, waterproof plastic board. It’s ideal for outdoor signage and temporary displays because it’s
- Affordable
- Durable
- Easy to install
It comes in different thicknesses—4mm for light indoor use, 5.5mm (most popular) for general outdoor signage, and 10mm for longer-term or wind-exposed areas. All our boards are printed in sharp, vibrant colour and can be cut to any size you need.
Full Colour or Mono? What Should You Choose?
We offer both mono (black and white) and full-colour printing on corriboard. If you’re working with a logo, want to make your brand pop, or are targeting foot or road traffic in busy towns like Castleblayney or Ballybay, go full colour. It’s worth it for the visibility alone.
Mono is great for temporary signs or site boards with simple messages like “Car Park This Way” or “Site Entrance.”
Should You Laminate Your Sign?
We recommend lamination for signs that will be:
- Outdoors more than 6 months
- Exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or people passing by
- Reused (e.g., event signage or annual festivals)
Lamination protects against fading, scuffs, and scratches. Choose gloss for a punchy finish, or matt for a more modern, anti-glare look.
Polymeric Vinyl + Laminate = Long-Lasting Signage
Want your sign to last up to 5 years? Then go for polymeric vinyl with lamination.
Polymeric vinyl is more durable and stable than the cheaper monomeric alternative. It resists shrinking and cracking, and when laminated, it holds up against UV and moisture. Perfect for signs in rural or roadside locations around Clones or Monaghan town.
Popular Sign Sizes
Here are the most common sizes we print for clients across Monaghan:
- 8×4 ft – Big and bold. Great for road frontage or building sites.
- 4×2 ft – Perfect for retail, shop fronts, or event signage.
- A1 / A2 – Ideal for posters, directional signs, or smaller event boards.
- Custom sizes – Need something specific? We’ll cut to fit.
Where Are These Signs Being Used?
We’ve delivered corriboard signs for:
- Builders in Clones displaying site info
- Event organisers in Castleblayney promoting concerts and fairs
- Cafés in Ballybay advertising special offers
- Local clubs and GAA teams throughout Monaghan
- Fundraisers, schools, political campaigns—you name it
They’re popular because they’re lightweight, affordable, and look great from a distance.
Design Tips to Make Your Sign Stand Out
- Big text, bold fonts – Keep it readable at a glance.
- Limit your words – Aim for a short, clear message.
- High contrast – Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa).
- Use your logo – Branding builds trust.
- Include a call to action – e.g., phone number, website, or QR code.
