Introduction
Foam board signs are everywhere. This lightweight material is incredibly versatile and ideally suited for high-resolution printing.
Unlike most poster material, foam-core is rigid and remains flat. The sturdy core allows for hanging or propping up your sign without damage or distortion. The surface is ideal for printing high-resolution images, and foam-core can easily be cut
to virtually any size or shape.
These properties make it ideal for indoor signage. Plus, it can be laminated, framed, or grommeted depending on your intended use.
What is foam board?
Foam board, or foamcore, is a printing and display material created with a core of polystyrene sandwiched between two sheets of paper. It consists of 95 to 98% air, making it remarkably light while remaining rigid.
Foam Board Sign Sizes
Mr. Signs can make foamcore signs and posters any size from 8.5” x 11” to 48” x 96”, including custom sizes and shapes. The purpose and location of your sign should determine its size.
How to Display Your Foam Board
How you display your sign or poster is up to you. Use an easel for display, frame it like a piece of art, hang it on a wall or from the ceiling, prop it against a display case to greet customers as they come into your business.
Typical Foam Board Sign Uses
Foamcore signs are used in businesses, churches, civic organizations, schools, and anywhere you want to make your message heard. Companies and other organizations often use these signs for presentations, tradeshows, and special events.
Here are a few examples:
- Lobby Signs
- Menu Boards
- Event Information
- Branding
- Aisle Markers
Design Tips
It is crucial to understand the distance from which your sign will be viewed when considering your design. The size of type and your design’s style must be appropriate for viewing.
Similarly, contrast is essential for visibility. For example, yellow type on a light blue background will be unreadable beyond a short distance. Always use contrasting colors that allow your message and your image to be easily recognized and understood.
