What is a Foamcore Board?

Foamcore board, also known as foam board or foam core, is a lightweight and rigid material that consists of a core made from polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of paper or plastic. The foam core provides the board with rigidity and thickness, while the outer layers add smoothness and a surface suitable for printing, drawing, or mounting graphics.

Foamcore is available in different thicknesses, and the choice of thickness depends on the intended use and level of rigidity required.

Here are some of the key characteristics and uses of Foamcore board:

Foamcore is exceptionally lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport. This characteristic is advantageous for applications where weight is a concern.

Despite its lightweight nature, Foamcore is rigid and provides a stable surface. It is commonly used for mounting photographs, artwork, or other graphics.

The outer layers of foamcore are typically made of paper or plastic, providing a smooth surface that is suitable for various artistic and graphic applications. It is often used for presentations, displays, and signage.

Foamcore is easy to cut with a utility knife or other cutting tools, allowing for easy customization of size and shape.

Foamcore is used in a variety of applications, including art and craft projects, model making, exhibition displays, signs, and presentations.

The smooth surface of foamcore allows for easy printing of graphics and text. However, the specific printing methods may depend on the type of outer layer (paper or plastic).

While foamcore is not as durable as some other materials, it is suitable for indoor use and short-term applications. It may not withstand exposure to the elements for extended periods.
