Use of Foam Board

Frequently Asked Questions

Foam board has a lightweight PVC foam core and is available in 5mm and 10mm thicknesses, suited to short to medium duration indoor displays, event standees, easel boards, and party props. Forex board is a denser, heavier-grade PVC board available in 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm, more rigid and moisture-resistant, better suited to repeated use, long-duration displays, social media frames, and any foam board print that will be handled frequently. Both accept the same high-resolution, digitally printed sticker finish.

Thickness selection depends on the application and display duration. 2mm forex suits lightweight wall mounting and backing applications. 3mm forex is the most widely used for social media frames, hashtag frames, and shell scheme panels. 5mm foam or forex suits cut-out standees and standard wall-mounted displays. 10mm foam or forex is recommended for large-format freestanding easel boards, giant cheques, and thick 3D display elements.

Yes. In addition to standard rectangular sizes, foam board and forex board can be precision contour-cut to any custom shape, following the exact outline of a person, product, logo, or character. Custom-shaped cuts are available across all thicknesses and are commonly used for cut-out standees, social media frames, hashtag frames, and shaped party props.

Matt lamination and gloss lamination are available across the foam board and forex board range. Matt lamination reduces surface glare and gives a refined, professional appearance suited to office and corporate environments. Gloss lamination enhances colour vibrancy and is suited to event displays, retail promotions, and branded party props where maximum visual impact is the priority.

How Foam Boards Are Mounted and Displayed

Four standard mounting and display methods work across the rang, the right choice depends on the venue, duration, and whether the board needs to be repositioned:

Tabletop or Floor Easels - The board leans on an easel at a comfortable viewing height. Common for conference boards, welcome signs, and event messaging.

Lean or Prop Against a Wall - For temporary indoor use where drilling or fixing is not permitted, such as lobby displays, event messaging, and short-duration retail signage.

Double-Sided Tape to Wall - Clean, damage-free wall mounting for indoor offices, retail stores, and exhibition venues where the board remains in place for the event duration.

Hang from Grommets - Metal eyelets punched into the board corners allow it to be suspended from a frame, hook, or stand, useful for foam board branding panels and hanging display applications.
