Plywood Sheets
Printed Plywood Panels - Combining Craftsmanship with Modern Printing
Printed plywood sheets offer a completely different finish to the majority of white faced print materials. A plywood sheet once printed, will allow the grain to still show through, giving it a unique appearance. Plywood comes in a range of thicknesses and offers exceptional rigidity, it can also be fabricated in a number of ways to create 4d structures and furniture.
Another benefit for using plywood printed sheets is they are an eco-friendly material. You must be careful when selecting plywood though as the substrate is a natural product and as a result can have imperfections especially if you choose to use a lower quality grade.
Benefits of Using Printed Plywood:
- Eco-Friendly: Plywood is a sustainable material, making your choice both stylish and environmentally responsible.
- Durability: Unlike traditional canvases, plywood panels resist warping over time. The inherent strength of plywood combined with our premium printing ensures a product that lasts.
- Texture and Depth: The unique grain of plywood brings a depth and texture to your prints, adding a tactile dimension to visual designs.

Frequently asked questions
What are printed Plywood Sheets used for?

The wood grain adds warmth and character, making it popular for rustic branding, artisan markets, exhibitions, and commercial interiors. It provides a sustainable, premium alternative to plastics and composite boards, while still offering strong, long-lasting print quality. Explore other rigid materials like Foamex.
Are Plywood Sheets durable for long-term use?
Yes. Plywood is naturally strong and structurally stable, meaning it works well in both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. When sealed correctly, it resists warping and surface damage. Your print is applied with specialist inks that bond into the grain for an authentic, long-lasting finish. For maximum durability, especially outdoors, consider Dibond ACM.
What thickness options are available?
We offer multiple thicknesses to suit your installation—from lighter sheets for temporary displays to thicker plywood for robust signage or architectural features. Thicker boards are perfect for shopfitting and structural displays, while thinner panels keep costs and weight low for events or exhibitions.
Is printed plywood environmentally friendly?
Yes. Plywood is a more sustainable choice compared to synthetic plastics because it’s manufactured from renewable timber and uses fewer chemicals. It pairs well with eco-focused designs and conscious retail interiors. If you need a recyclable plastic alternative, consider Triaprint.
