MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers, wax, and resin. It is known for its smooth surface, consistency, and affordability. MDF is a versatile material used for a wide range of applications, including signage, cabinetry, and interior design. It provides a durable, budget-friendly option for high-quality custom signage.
