Foam core printing for signs, posters and presentations
Foam core printing puts your artwork on a rigid 3/16 inch board, in white or black, light enough to carry under one arm. A single Foam Core print starts at $49.99 for the 16 by 20 inch default and goes up to a 40 by 60 inch custom board, printed on 10.4 mil Semi Gloss, 10.4 mil Hi Gloss or 32# Bright White Uncoated and mounted for you.

Six foam core boards and what each one does
Foam Core is the everyday board for signs and presentations, from $49.99 in 10 sizes. Foam Core Posters mount photos and artwork in set sizes from 16 by 20 up to 40 by 60 inches, plus custom sizes, and Foam Core Signs carry promotions and directions from $49.99 with an optional 3 mil gloss lamination.
Dry Erase Foamcore starts at $45 on a 3/16 or 1/2 inch board, from 12 by 12 up to 48 by 96 inch, with a laminated face you write on and wipe clean indoors. Reflective Foamcore starts at $39 each and wears a reflective film that catches light in a dim hallway, and Wedding Foam Core covers welcome signs and seating charts from $49.99. You can print most options single-sided or double-sided, in white or black board.
What foam core is made of
Foam core is a polystyrene foam sheet sandwiched between two smooth paper facings. The standard 3/16 inch board stands on an easel by itself and hangs with basic hardware, and the 1/2 inch board on Dry Erase Foamcore adds stiffness for a 48 by 96 inch panel. That mix of stiffness and low weight is why businesses, event planners, photographers, and educators order it for short-run signs.
The smooth facing holds full-color prints beautifully, so photos, graphics, and text come out sharp and vivid. Because the boards are so light, shipping stays affordable and setup takes seconds. Foam core is built for indoor and covered outdoor spaces like lobbies, trade show halls, classrooms, and retail floors, not long stretches of rain or direct sun. For a full booth, the trade show printing collection pairs these boards with banners and pop-up displays.
Who orders foam core, and for what
Exhibitors lean on foam core because a few large boards can turn a bare booth into a branded wall, then pack down flat for the trip home. Realtors print property features, floor plans, and neighborhood highlights fresh for every listing without stretching the budget.
Retailers stand boards on counters and easels for seasonal promos and product launches, right at the point of purchase. Photographers and artists use them for exhibits and portfolio displays, and students and teachers rely on them for science fairs and classroom presentations that stand out from hand-glued poster board.
Design tips for sharper foam core prints
Because these boards are often viewed up close, build your artwork at full size and aim for at least 150 DPI, with 300 DPI ideal. Keep important text at least a quarter inch inside the trim line so nothing gets cut during production.
Match the finish to the room. Matte cuts glare under fluorescent lighting for offices and classrooms, while glossy pushes color and contrast for photo displays and retail. Decide early whether the board will sit on an easel, hang on a wall, or lean, since that guides the size and orientation you pick.
