  • What is Correx?
    Correx is a 2-ply fluted plastic sheet which is a strong, semi-rigid, weather-resistant, chemical resistant, lightweight material.
  • How is Correx made?
    Correx is created by extruding hot liquid plastic through a metal template. After passing through the template, the liquid cools and forms a continuous sheet, which is then cut into finished boards ready for printing.
  • Is Correx the same as Corvex, Coriflute, and corrugated plastic?
    Yes, they are all forms of corrugated plastic sheets. However, Correx is a registered brand name that has become a generic term used to describe polypropylene fluted plastic sheeting.
  • Can you cut Correx?
    Correx can be easily cut into various shapes using a sharp knife, guillotine, or router. Specialised flatbed drag knife cutting machines are also available for custom shapes.
