Bollard Covers Printing

Bollard Covers & Sleeves

Bollard cover printing turns plain posts into high-visibility advertising, transforming everyday street posts into effective branding assets. Made from tough, weatherproof materials, these covers are printed with custom graphics, logos or promotional messages for retail campaigns, events, sales and brand awareness.

At The Board Printing Company, we use our proven correx sign printing process to deliver bollard covers with sharp detail, strong colour, and excellent fade resistance. Designed for busy outdoor environments, they deliver 360° visibility and consistent impact, whether you’re promoting a retail offer, guiding event traffic, or strengthening your presence on the high street.

Why Use Bollard Sleeves for Advertising?

In a crowded visual environment, you need to be smart about where you place your message. Bollard covers offer advantages over posters or A-boards:

1. Prime Eye-Level Estate Agent: Bollards are generally waist to chest height, great for pedestrians and drivers alike. Unlike a too-high banner or a pavement sign that crowds can block, a bollard sleeve stands right in the customer’s path.
2. 360-Degree Visibility: Our bollard sleeves wrap around the post. Regardless of whether your advertising display has 3 sides (Triangular) or 4 sides (Square), your audience will view it from every possible point of entry. 
3. Cost-Effective “Pop-Up” Marketing: They are lightweight Correx covers and therefore very affordable. This makes them ideal for seasonal short-term promotions like “Summer Sale,” “Back to School“, or “Christmas Special.” 

Technical Specifications & Fit of Bollard Covers

Our bollard covers are designed for a secure fit, durable outdoor performance, and clear presentation across a range of common post shapes.

Material Quality: We use 4mm Correx for all our covers. This is the same durable fluted polypropylene used for sale boards for estate agents, chosen for its rigidity, weather resistance and ability to maintain a clean, professional appearance outdoors. 

Available Shapes: 

• Triangular (3-Sided): The most popular choice. It fits over round bollards easily and offers three flat faces for advertising. Because it is triangular, it is naturally stable and less likely to spin around in the wind.
• Square (4-Sided): Ideal for square concrete or metal posts. It provides four distinct panels for your artwork.

Practical Applications: Where to Use Them

From guiding foot traffic to promoting offers, bollard covers turn fixed posts into practical signage across multiple environments.

• Retail Parks & Supermarkets: Turn the line of protective posts outside your store into a “Guard of Honour.” Use them to promote loyalty schemes, new product launches, or “Free Parking” notices.
• Event Management: At festivals or outdoor exhibitions, bollards often block pathways. Cover them with bright sleeves to turn a hazard into a wayfinding tool. Use arrows and colour-coding to direct attendees to “Toilets,” “Main Stage,” or “Exits”.
• Safety & Warning: Make invisible hazards visible. In industrial yards or loading bays, dull grey bollards can be hard to see. A high-vis yellow and black striped bollard sleeve ensures drivers spot the obstacle, reducing accidents.
• Car Dealerships: Forecourts are often lined with bollards. Use them to highlight finance offers, “0% APR,” or specific car models right next to the vehicles on display.

Why Choose Us for Bollard Sleeves?

We manufacture thousands of covers every year at our Perivale factory.

• Precision Creasing: The key to a good bollard cover is the fold. We use Zünd digital cutters to create a perfect “score” line in the plastic. This ensures the cover folds into a sharp, crisp triangle or square without the material cracking.
• Fade-Resistant Inks: Bollards sit in direct sunlight all day. We use UV-curable inks that are hardened by light, ensuring your red sale signs don’t turn pink after a week in the sun.
• Fast Turnaround: Need covers for a sale starting this Friday? With our Express+ service, we can produce and ship your order in as little as 48 hours.
