Shape Options for Foam Board Signs

Through our design platform, create custom foam board signs in any shape you like. To guide you through the process of shaping your boards, here are the available options explained. Choose the one you like during the design process so we cut it whichever way you prefer.

Square/Rectangle

The standard shape comes with pointed 90° angles. It’s the most preferred shape for the paper-faced board for personal and business needs. This is the default option in our tool and is free of charge.

Rounded

The rounded option has the same shape as the default square or rectangle cuts. Still, the pointed corners are rounded at a ¼"-½" ratio, depending on the size. This option will give your poster a softer appearance.

Outline

Do you need a custom shape for your boards? Get them outline cut on our platform. All you need to do is create a design that has a distinct outline and choose the respective cutting option.

Overline

Along with the same features that the outline cutting option has, overline cutting comes with an added ¼"-½" border around your design. The border will have the natural color of the material, which is white in this case. If you need the border to have another color or pattern, you’ll need to include it in the design and choose the outline option instead. Please keep in mind that the border size will be included in the overall sign size you choose.

Foam Board Poster Printing and Material

The material of this signage medium is a foam sheet between two layers of paper. Those layers are well adhered and won’t peel off. It comes in two thickness options: 3/16” and 1/2”. While the first is sturdy enough for medium-sized posters, the second is preferable for large displays.

The paper faces make foam board poster printing high quality. We use UV-inks so your printed graphics will last longer even under direct sunlight.

Foam Board Printing on One Side

While both faces are printable, the default and widely used option is getting only one side printed. Single-sided foam core printing has its advantages. Get the poster outline or overline cut without worrying about the design staying out of the mirrored shape on the reverse side.

Foam Board Printing on Both Sides

If you want to extract the best your poster can offer, get both sides printed with the same or even different designs. Double-sided foam board printing lets you achieve even greater exposure. If you choose this option, the same design will be printed on both sides. If you want to have a different design printed on each side, please contact our support team and they’ll guide you through the process.

Mounting Options for Foam Board Signs

This product comes with a range of mounting options. Select the needed accessories on our design tool and order them along with your sign. Please keep in mind that you’ll also need to select the number of drilled holes and their positioning if you want us to drill them for you.

Direct Mounting

Stick the print to the wall or any other surface directly with the help of command strips. This option won’t leave any residue and you won’t need to drill the wall. The recommended way to apply this option is by placing strips on the four corners of your sign. They can support up to 12Ibs of weight, so rest assured that your sign stays put.

Free Standing

The foam board isn’t free-standing. You can, however, let it lean against a wall or put it on a stand. We offer easel backs that work just like the easels of photo frames. They’re intended for relatively smaller signs. Read all the relevant information about the sizes of the easels and the signs they can hold while choosing your accessories on our tool.

Hanging

Since foam board signs are rather light you’re free to hang them on the wall or storefront window. You also have the option to hang them from the ceiling which will be particularly effective if you’ve chosen foam board printing on both sides. The accessories we offer are suction cups and hooks and zip ties.
