Estate agent flag or T boards?

Our T Boards are manufactured from 2 sheets of 4mm Correx that are heat welded on each edge with the post running up through the centre of the sheets.

Our Flagboards are produced using 1 sheet of 6mm heavyweight correx with a 50mm margin on the side of the board, the blank margin of the board is then inserted into the slot of the post to create the 'Flag' image. Correx is 100% recyclable.

Do you count white as a colour on a sign board?

No. The white of the correx is not counted as a colour, blue and red onto the white correx would be classed as a 2-colour board.
