The Lightweight Champion for Presentations & Events
When you need a sign that looks rigid and professional but is light enough to hold with two fingers, Foamcore Board (3/16″) is the undisputed king.
It is the industry standard for indoor presentations. From the boardroom to the wedding reception, and yes—even those giant novelty checks you see on TV—Foamcore delivers a crisp, clean look without the weight of heavy plastic or metal.
What is Foamcore? (The “Sandwich” Structure)
Imagine a layer of stiff polystyrene foam sandwiched between two sheets of smooth, clay-coated paper.
The Surface: The paper face is “clay-coated,” which creates a bright white, ultra-smooth surface.1 Unlike corrugated plastic (which has ridges), Foamcore allows for photographic print quality.2 Your charts, graphs, and photos will look incredibly sharp.
The Core: The foam center gives it thickness and rigidity, allowing it to stand upright on an easel without flopping over like a poster.
The Classic “Giant Check” Material
You’ve seen them at charity galas and lottery wins.
Because Foamcore is rigid yet featherlight, it is the perfect material for Oversized Checks.3 Winners can easily hold them up for photos without straining, and the matte paper finish prevents camera flash glare.
⚠️ Important: Indoor Use Only! (Please Read)
We believe in selling you the right tool for the job.
Foamcore is effectively a paper product.
No Water: If it gets wet, the paper will bubble and the core will warp. Do not use this outdoors if there is even a 1% chance of rain.
Delicate Corners: The corners can dent if dropped. We package them securely, but we recommend handling them with care once unboxed.
