18"x36" Economy Thermometer

Economy Board

Economy board is a lightweight material that is popular because of its low cost and durability. It does not dent easily and is waterproof, unlike a foam board material. It is a corrugated plastic that has hollow grooves that run down the center of the material, is very light weight.

Optional Dry Erase

We add a dry erase lamination over your entire thermometer making it re-usable if you use dry erase, liquid chalk, or wet erase markers. We recommend wiping off all marker on your Thermometer before storing it away. Sometimes if the marker is left on the lamination for long periods of time it will stain the lamination and you’ll have to replace your Thermometer.

You’ll want to leave most of your Thermometer blank, anything in your artwork will be permanently printed. Typically, our customers will add just their logo and/or dollar amounts for the thermometer and leave everything else blank so they can re-use all the fields.
