PHS donated lots of interesting materials from this year’s Flower Show, including a variety of sizes of sintra sign making material. The sheets of Sintra are made of a very thin and extremely durable form of PVC. Sintra is great for indoor or outdoor sign painting as it is quite durable and unlikely to break down. The downside about PVC is that it is a plastic with a large environmental footprint, which is why it is so important to buy it reclaimed rather than new.

We received several sheets of Sintra from the flower show with one side printed on and on bright white unprinted side. We have smaller 1 or 2 ft pieces and larger 5 ft pieces of sintra.

Both sides of the sintra are usable and easy to paint on. You could paint over the printed side or just flip it over and use the white untouched side.

We used the back side to make a sign for our shop. After a little time patience and acrylic paint we had ourselves a sign.

And in case you forget what our address was, just check out our newly finished sintra sign!
