Screenboard thickness & GSM guide

We typically process paper and cardboard screenboard sheets in standard trade thicknesses and GSM ranges. The table below reflects thicknesses we commonly cut for signage, POS and packaging-style work. Exact availability depends on your chosen brand and supplier, and can be confirmed when quoting.

Working ranges for common paperboard & screenboard

Screenboard / paperboard spec	Typical use
Approx. 600–800 gsm (around 1.2–1.5 mm)	Lightweight hanging signs, inserts and small backing cards.
Approx. 900–1200 gsm (around 1.8–2.5 mm)	Standard screenboard for retail signage and POS panels.
Approx. 1500–2000 gsm (around 2.5–3.5 mm)	Stiffer display boards, short-run packaging and structural elements.
Heavier specialty board (above 3.5 mm)	Freestanding displays, plinths and where extra rigidity is required.

*Thickness and GSM ranges above are indicative for paper and cardboard screenboard used in signage, POS and display work. Our cutting beds accept sheets up to 1500 × 3000 mm, including common 2440 × 1220 mm and 2400 × 1200 mm formats.

Why use our screenboard cutting service?

Signage and POS focused

Our knife tables are set up specifically for paper, cardboard and screenboard signage and POS work. Tooling, vacuum and registration are tuned for crisp cuts and creases on printed sheets.

Set up for campaigns and repeat work

Once your screenboard display components and templates are dialled in, we can efficiently repeat jobs with predictable pricing and timing — ideal for seasonal campaigns, retail rollouts and brand activations.

Help preparing cut files and nests

We can work from DXF/DWG, AI or print-ready PDFs, help optimise sheet usage and nesting, and suggest tweaks so screenboard parts are practical to cut, fold and assemble. This is particularly useful when converting hand-built mock-ups into repeatable production files.

Trade-ready workflow

Clear specs on board type, GSM, edge requirements and creasing, plus realistic lead times and consistent re-runs. We are geared to support sign shops, printers, agencies and display builders who need reliable screenboard cutting support.

More about screenboard cutting and design

Open the items below for more detail on screenboard cutting, design tips and how paper and cardboard boards can be used effectively in signage, POS and packaging-style projects.

For screenboard displays, consider how pieces will fold, interlock and be assembled on site. Allow enough material around slots and tabs to prevent tearing, avoid very narrow webs, and clearly show crease and cut lines in your artwork. If displays are shipped flat, think about how components will be packed and identified so store staff can assemble them quickly.

Screenboard offers a more easily recyclable option for short-term signage and POS compared with many plastic substrates. By designing displays that use screenboard for volume elements, and reserving plastics for structural or high-wear elements only where needed, you can improve overall sustainability without sacrificing impact.

Screenboard components are relatively light but can be bulky. Logical packing keeps freight costs down and makes in-store handling easier. We typically stack and strap panels, then box or palletise depending on size and quantity. For national rollouts, we can sequence kits by store or region.

Most screenboard cutting jobs dispatch in 1–5 business days once artwork, materials and quantities are confirmed. Larger campaigns, multi-store rollouts or complex displays may take longer, but we will confirm realistic timeframes before you commit.

DXF/DWG preferred; AI/SVG/PDF (vector) accepted. Separate layers for cut and crease. Upload via the instant quote.
