The Right Foam Board for Your Needs Whether you need foam boards to display graphics, signs, pictures, or frames, the material you use should be of the quality and has the properties to best fit your particular needs. We will guide you about the features of some of our most popular foam board products in order to help you choose the right one for both your indoor as well as outdoor requirements. Here are some of the widely used products that we offer for your needs.

1. Self-adhesive foam board: These foam boards are available in different varieties based on their thicknesses; Foamboard is available in 1/8", 3/16�, 3/8", and 1/2" thickness. This foam board is best for indoor and temporary use. It is lightweight and inexpensive too. However, you need to be careful about the corners while using it because it is prone to denting due to its lightweight features.

Although strong and sturdy enough for indoor use, this material cannot bear rough handling. In this category of foam boards, self-adhesive foam boards are the perfect choice when required for cold mounting photos and artwork on to foam board. This foam board features acid-free adhesive and is chemically inert. Another advantage it has is that it can be supplied as one- or two-sided pressure sensitive board. This board is also available without self-adhesive.


2. Pressure sensitive gatorfoam: This material is available in 3/16�, 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/2", and 2" thicknesses. It is similar to a self-adhesive foam board in a way that it has foam in the middle, but instead of having a white litho sheet on each side, it features thin sheets of rigid resin impregnated paper. These face liners makes the material more durable and less prone to denting and warping.

The self-adhesive gatorfoam board is the best choice for mounting, exhibits and signs, die cutting, and indoor use. This category excels where light weight, strength, rigidity, and warp resistance are a must! This material is also available without the self-adhesive material. 3. Sintra PVC board: This product is also available in a variety of thicknesses; commonly available in 1, 2, 3, 6, and 13 mm thickness. The substance is entirely made of expanded pvc. It is durable, moderately heavy, resistant to dents, and is great for outdoor uses. It is heavier than gatorboard.

The self-adhesive sheet is a very durable sheet. It is excellent for photo mounting and easy to use. All you basically need to do is peel off the release liner and mount. The sintra PVC foam is also available without pressure sensitive coating.


With the variety of features our foam boards offer, you should be able to choose the right one for both your indoor as well as outdoor requirements.
