Foam Core Signs

Custom Foam Core Signs

Foam core signs are a popular choice for both temporary and permanent indoor displays due to their lightweight and versatile nature. These signs consist of a foam core sandwiched between two layers of paper or paper-like material, which can be coated or uncoated. Here’s a detailed look at foam core signs:

Characteristics of Foam Core Signs

• Material: Foam core is made from a polystyrene foam board sandwiched between two sheets of stiff paper. This structure provides a lightweight yet sturdy base for printing.
• Lightweight: The foam core’s primary advantage is its light weight, making it easy to handle, transport, and set up, which is ideal for events or presentations where mobility is key.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to more durable materials like metal or acrylic, foam core is relatively inexpensive, making it a great option for short-term use or for applications where budget constraints are a consideration.
