Foam Board (Signs)
Foam Board Sign Printing in North Dallas
Light enough to carry, stiff enough to stand on an easel. The board for presentations, events and indoor displays. 1–2 day production available.
The lightest rigid board we print
Paper-faced polystyrene foam core. It is the lightest rigid board we make, which is exactly why it wins for anything going on an easel, being carried into a room, or pinned up for the afternoon.
Presentation and pitch boards, event and conference signage, welcome and directional signs indoors, photo and award displays, school project boards, open house boards used inside the property.
Handle it like the paper it is faced with
The faces are paper. Foam board dents if you catch a corner, and it will not survive rain: the faces lift and the board is finished. This is an indoor, short-term product and we would rather be blunt about it than have you discover it at an outdoor event.
If the sign needs to go outside, be reused, or last beyond a few weeks, take Ultraboard, PVC or J-Bond. Ultraboard in particular looks almost identical from two feet away and survives being packed, shipped and set up repeatedly.

Questions we get asked
Can I use it outside?
Only under cover and only briefly. Rain destroys it. For outdoor events use PVC or J-Bond.
Will it stand on an easel?
Yes, that is the classic use. 24" x 36" on a standard easel is the most common combination we print.
Can I reuse it?
Once or twice if it is handled carefully. For boards that travel to several events, Ultraboard is the better buy.
How fast can I get one?
1 to 2 business day production is one of the choices at checkout. Useful when a meeting moves up.
