Premium Foam Material

The 1/2" thick Foam Core material combines lightweight, rigid construction with a foam core sandwiched between two layers of white coated paper, lending it a naturally semi-glossy finish. However, it is important to keep this material away from high humidity or moisture as it can damage, warp, or become soggy when wet.

Protective Gloss Coating - Optional

We use a premium grade protective coating that has anti-graffitti properties, which means in most cases it can be cleaned.  This surface works with Dry Erase, Wet Erase, and Liquid Chalk markers.

Care & Use of the Foam Board Signs

Foam board signs are best for indoor use and should be handled with care to avoid damage. Do not expose to moisture or high humidity.

Do not wash or wet signs

• If you have a lamination then you can wipe it with a damp cloth on the laminated side only, being very careful to not get any moisture on the edges.

Not meant for wet or damp areas

• Foam board will absorb any moisture in the environment causing the sign to warp, bulge, discolor, or even tear.

Handle with extra care

• Foam Board easily damages, especially the corners
• If the corners dent and your design allows for removal of some part of the sign then you can use a sharp razor to slice off the damaged section. We suggest using a straight edge and cut into multiple small depths with the blade on a slight angle to the face of the board.
• Avoid dropping or placing any objects on top of the Foam Signs as it will leave dents or imprints on the signs.
