Corflute Signs Melbourne
Need corflute signs in Melbourne without waiting weeks or paying for material you don’t need? Corflute (also spelled coreflute) is the lightweight corrugated plastic board used for site signs, real estate boards, election-style yard signs, events and short-term promotions. DSS prints corflute in Frankston for builders, agents, clubs and businesses across Melbourne.
It’s one of the fastest, most affordable ways to get a professional outdoor sign up — and a natural first step before larger fabricated work.
What is corflute?
Corflute is a fluted polypropylene sheet — hollow channels between two faces, like a plastic version of cardboard. It’s:
- Light — easy to carry, cable-tie to fences or stake in lawns
- Weather resistant — handles Melbourne rain and sun better than cardboard (though long-term UV still fades any print eventually)
- Affordable — suited to short runs and temporary campaigns
- Printable — full-colour graphics via large format digital print
You’ll also see it called coreflute, correx or corrugated plastic. Same family of product; “corflute” is the everyday term in Australian sign shops.
Corflute signs Melbourne: common uses
Builders and construction sites
Project boards, safety messages, directional signs and temporary branding on fencing. Pair with our construction site signs page when you need a full site pack.
Real estate and property
For sale / for lease boards, open-for-inspection pointers, auction day signs and riders. See also real estate signs for agency-focused options and denser board materials when you need them.
Events, clubs and community
Sporting carnivals, school fairs, festivals, directional arrows and sponsor boards. Short lifespan, high visibility, easy to dispose of or recycle appropriately after the event.
Retail and promotions
Sale signs, parking notices, opening-soon boards and sidewalk specials. For footpath A-frames, also consider A-frames.
Political and advocacy campaigns (where permitted)
Yard signs and street-facing boards — check local council rules on placement and timing before you order large quantities.

Sizes, finishing and corflute printing options
We print single or double-sided depending on how the sign will be viewed. Typical conversations cover:
- Sheet sizes — common board sizes and custom cut-downs; tell us the finished size you need
- Thickness — heavier sheet for larger boards or windier spots; lighter for small stake signs
- Finishing — cut to size, drilled holes for cable ties, stake slots, or supply as flat sheets
- Artwork — CMYK print from your files; we can advise on safe margins and resolution
Exact stock and size availability can change — confirm when you request a quote rather than assuming a catalogue size.
Corflute printing sits alongside our wider large format printing capability, so banners, posters and boards can be produced in one brief when a campaign needs more than one format.
Corflute vs ACM vs heavier boards
| Corflute | ACM / composite | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | Very light | Heavier, rigid | Corflute wins for fence ties and stakes |
| Cost | Generally lowest | Higher | Corflute for temporary; ACM for longer display |
| Lifespan outdoors | Short to medium | Longer | UV and wind still matter for both |
| Look | Good, practical | Premium flat panel | Agents and main site boards sometimes prefer ACM |
| Best for | Events, safety packs, pointers, short campaigns | Hero project boards, longer listings | We can mix both on one job |

Why order from a Frankston workshop
Ordering corflute signs Melbourne-wide from a south-east workshop means easier collection for Peninsula and Frankston jobs, and a team that also builds the “next step” products — site ACM boards, real estate programs, shopfronts — when your campaign grows. You’re not stuck with a corflute-only supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
How durable are corflute signs outdoors?
They’re made for temporary and medium-term outdoor use. Expect good performance for a campaign or construction stage; prolonged harsh sun will eventually fade ink and stress the sheet. For multi-year boards, ask about ACM or other rigid materials.
What does “coreflute” mean — is it different?
Coreflute is the same type of fluted plastic board; spelling varies. If you’ve been asked for coreflute signs, you’re in the right place.
Can you print double-sided corflute?
Yes, when the job needs it — for example stake signs viewed from both directions. Mention double-sided on the quote request.
Do you supply stakes or frames?
Ask when you quote. We can advise on common stake and mounting approaches; supply depends on the job. Cable-tie holes for fencing are a frequent request for site work.
What’s the minimum order?
Corflute suits both small runs and bulk campaigns. Tell us how many you need — we’ll price the quantity you actually want rather than forcing a huge minimum.
