Foam Board Signs by Usage

These custom signs have a wide array of applications from decorative to promotional. While our platform allows for designing fully personalized foam core signs, here are some of the most common uses to inspire you.

Foam Board Photo Prints & Decor

Photo prints on this material provide an affordable alternative to more expensive media like acrylic signs or metal photo prints. Additionally, they’re much easier to mount due to their lightweight nature. Foam board printing provides superior colors and resolution, lending a contemporary touch to any space.

Foam Board Event Displays

Foam prints are quite a good choice for event or exhibition displays since they’re cost-effective. Get foam board printing with your logo and brand name to enhance your booth design. Your brand will be the center of attention, and you won’t pay a fortune for one-time usage.

Promotional Foam Board Signs

Promote your business indoors with printed boards. Showcase your seasonal promotions and grab the attention of prospects with appealing foam board posters. You can mount them on the wall, set them on stands, or even hang them from the ceiling. The product is easy to use and maintain.

Informative Foam Board Signs

Want to highlight a safety notice or business hours? Custom foam board posters are effective tools for communicating information. Get foam board sign printing with the needed text and place it in a highly visible location. Include icons and other visual elements for even greater exposure.

Foam Board Presentation Signs

Shape Options for Foam Board Signs

Create custom foam board posters in any shape you like by using our design platform. 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 the way you prefer.

Square/Rectangle

The standard shape of foam board signs 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. Yet, the pointed corners are rounded at a ½”, ¾” or 1” ratio, depending on the size. This option will give your foam board printing 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, 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 product size you choose.

Foam Board Poster Printing and Material

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

The paper faces enhance the quality of foam board poster printing. 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. You get the product outline or overline cut, with no concerns 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 foam board posters can offer, get both sides printed with the same or different designs. Double-sided foam board printing lets you achieve even greater exposure. Opt for a different design printed on each side to convey more information. If you have questions, please contact our support team.

Mounting Options for Foam Board Signs

Foam board posters come with a range of mounting options. Select the needed accessories on our design tool and order them along with your display. 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 using command strips. This option doesn’t require drilled holes and it won’t leave any residue. The recommended way to apply this option is by placing strips on the four corners of your foam board poster. They can support up to 12 Ibs of weight, so rest assured that the product stays put.

Free Standing

The foam board isn’t self-supporting, but you can lean it 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 foam prints. Read all the relevant information about the sizes of the easels and the products they can hold while choosing your accessories on our tool.

Hanging

Since foam board signs are light you’re free to hang them on the wall or storefront window. If you’ve chosen foam board printing on both sides consider hanging them from the ceiling for maximum efficiency. Choose suction cups and hooks or zip ties from the accessories.
