Frequently Asked Questions
How long do black corrugated plastic signs last outdoors?
Black twinwall polypropylene typically lasts 6-12 months outdoors before UV exposure causes brittleness or fading. Black may absorb slightly more heat than white, but the lifespan difference is minimal for typical temporary signage applications. Perfect for event signage, seasonal displays, or short-term campaigns. For permanent outdoor signs, consider UV-protected materials like polycarbonate or aluminum.
Does black show scratches more than white?
Black twinwall polypropylene can show surface scratches more visibly than white due to color contrast. However, it significantly outperforms white at hiding dirt, dust, and general wear. For temporary signage in outdoor or high-traffic environments where appearance matters, black is often the better choice despite potential scratch visibility.
Can I print on black twinwall polypropylene?
Yes, black twinwall polypropylene accepts printing using screen printing with opaque inks, UV digital printing, or vinyl graphics. White and light-colored inks create striking contrast on the black surface. Vinyl application is the most common method for custom graphics on black, providing excellent results for high-end temporary displays and signage.
What's the difference between black and white corrugated plastic?
Both offer the same durability and physical properties for temporary applications (6-12 months outdoors). White provides a bright, clean background ideal for full-color printing and traditional yard signs. Black offers a bold, modern aesthetic with better dirt concealment and striking contrast for light-colored graphics. Choose based on your design goals and application environment.
