The Most Commonly Used Materials in Retail Displays -4

Styrene – technically known as polystyrene, this resin-based plastic is commonly found in everything from packaging to toys to advertising displays. For printed graphics, it is available in thicknesses from 10 pt. to 120 pt. and comes in an array of opacities and colors, with white as most common. Styrene provides an excellent print surface and easily cuts to shape, providing excellent solutions for stanchion sign inserts, shelf talkers, ceiling danglers and aisle markers.

Wondering what “10 pt.” thickness means? A “point” is 1/1000 of an inch, meaning that “10 pt.” stock is 10/1000 inch thick. This is also referred to as 0.010 thick.
