What is Flexiboard?
Flexiboard is our new lightweight, thin plastic product, perfect for easy storage. It's water-proof and scratch-resistant, however it's not strong enough to hold its shape on its own and we recommend pairing it with either a wood or acrylic insert to act as a base. It is also flexible but care should be taken not to bend it more than 90 degrees as this may cause it to break.
