Print a Sign That Stands On Its Own
Foam core turns your artwork into a rigid, lightweight board that stands on an easel or hangs on a wall. It is a sheet of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two paper faces, so it stays dead flat while weighing almost nothing, and each print mounts on a 3/16" board in your choice of white or black from $49.99 per unit with a full 5.0 out of 5 rating. Whether you are welcoming guests at an event, staging an open house, or mounting a photo for a gallery wall, it reads sharp up close and holds its shape wherever you set it.
These boards do real work for very little. They cost less than most rigid sign options, they set up in seconds on an easel, and they travel flat without curling or creasing. Want to see how foam core sits next to the rest of the mounted lineup? Browse the full range on foam core printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
What Are Foam Core Prints?
Foam core prints are graphics printed on one of 3 materials and mounted on a rigid 3/16" foam core board. Your design runs on a 10.4 mil Semi Gloss, a 10.4 mil Hi Gloss, or a 32# Bright White Uncoated face, then bonds to a board in white or black. People reach for them when a rolled poster would sag: presentation boards, welcome and directional signs, retail displays, photo mounts, and event signage. Because the board is stiff and barely weighs anything, it props on an easel or pins to a wall and simply stays put. For a sharp indoor sign built on the same board, the Foam Core Signs cover that use directly.
What Size Should a Foam Core Board Be?
The right size comes down to reading distance. A 16" x 20" board, the default, is perfect for a desktop sign, a counter display, or a mounted photo. Step up to 18" x 24", 20" x 24", or 20" x 30" when you want a board people read from across a room. For anything the presets do not cover, set a custom size right up to 40" x 60", the largest board we mount. All 10 sizes, both board colors and every material sit in the panel below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If a large-format print is the goal, the Foam Core Posters build the same board around poster art.
What Materials and Mounting Can You Choose?
The print face sets the look. A 10.4 mil Semi Gloss keeps colors rich without a mirror shine, a 10.4 mil Hi Gloss makes photos and bold graphics pop, and a 32# Bright White Uncoated face reads soft and matte for text-heavy signs. Whichever you pick mounts on a 3/16" board in white, for a clean bright edge, or black, for contrast and depth. Want the surface to survive handling at a busy event? Add a 3 mil single sided gloss lamination over the printed side, or leave it off to keep the cost lower. Every one of these choices lives in the configurator, and each one updates the price the moment you set it.
How Much Do Foam Core Prints Cost?
Foam core starts at $49.99 per unit, and the total tracks the choices you make from there. A larger board costs more than the 16" x 20" default, a 3 mil gloss lamination adds a protective layer, and a Next-Day rush costs more than the standard 4 business day speed. You see every change reflected in real time, so there is no guessing. Pick the size and finish you need, and the number in front of you is the number you pay.
How Fast Can You Get Foam Core?
Standard production for foam core is 4 business days, which keeps the price at its lowest. When the date is tighter, three faster speeds sit ready: 3 business day, 2 business day, and a Next-Day rush for the jobs that cannot wait. You set the speed in the same configurator where you choose size and material, so the deadline is just one more option, not a separate phone call. Not sure your file is right? Choose the free online proof to check it before it prints, or send it straight to production when you are confident. Foam core accepts a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG built at your board size.
What Do People Use Foam Core For?
Because a foam core board is stiff and barely weighs anything, it goes where a rolled banner cannot. Real estate agents prop them on easels at open houses. Conferences use them for directional and welcome signs. Retailers build window and counter displays. Photographers and artists mount prints for a gallery look. And couples order them as ceremony and reception signs. If a wedding is the occasion, the Wedding Foam Core is built for exactly that. One rigid board, a long list of jobs it does cleanly.
How Does Foam Core Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Foam core is the value pick when you want a rigid, easel-ready board that travels light, but it is not your only move. If you are weighing a poster-style mount, a wedding-ready board, or a sharper indoor sign, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up foam core against its closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Why a $49.99 foam core sign props anywhere and travels light.
A foam core print starts at $49.99 per unit, mounted on a rigid 3/16 inch board in white or black. Pick 1 of 3 print materials, size it from 16 by 20 inch up to a 40 by 60 inch custom board, and Wally can turn it around in as fast as a Next-Day rush.
