Choosing KT board for holding signs is a popular choice due to its unique combination of practicality, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. Here are the key reasons why it stands out:
Lightweight & Easy to Handle
KT board is made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam sandwiched between two layers of paper or plastic film, making it extremely lightweight. This is critical for holding signs, as it reduces hand fatigue during extended use (e.g., at events, rallies, or promotions), allowing users to hold the sign comfortably for longer periods.
Cost-Effective
Compared to alternatives like acrylic, wood, or metal, KT board is significantly cheaper. This affordability makes it ideal for large-scale or short-term uses (e.g., campaign events, concerts, or one-time promotions) where budget constraints are a priority.
Easy to Customize & Process
KT board is easy to cut, shape, or trim with basic tools (e.g., knives or scissors), allowing for quick customization of sizes and shapes to fit specific design needs. Its smooth surface also accepts printing (e.g., digital printing, screen printing, or vinyl stickers) well, resulting in vibrant, high-quality graphics that enhance visibility.
Adequate Stiffness for Short-Term Use
While not as rigid as materials like acrylic, KT board offers enough structural stiffness to maintain its shape when held, preventing unwanted bending or warping during typical use. This makes it reliable for short-duration events.
Low Maintenance & Disposal
KT board is moisture-resistant (to a reasonable extent) and doesn’t require special care, unlike wood (which may warp) or cardboard (which tears easily). For temporary use, it’s also easy to dispose of after the event, with minimal environmental impact compared to heavier or non-biodegradable materials (though eco-friendly variants are increasingly available).
