Care

As foam board consists of a paper face on either side, we strongly recommend using it only indoors. Careful handling when moving, displaying, and storing of foam board signs will help prevent tearing or damaging the sign. Avoid dropping your foam board sign or placing any objects directly on top of it in storage. Keep it away from water or moisture. Clean gently using a dry cloth.

Our optional dry-erase laminate will help protect your foamboard sign and is easy to clean; simply wipe the glossy surface with a non-abrasive cloth. Use a small amount of citrus-based cleaner or isopropyl alcohol when needed.

Q:
Am I able to add a laminate to my foam board sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes! You are able to add a dry erase laminate to your foam board sign, allowing you to write on the sign with dry erase markers. This laminate will also give your sign a vibrant, glossy finish and will help protect it against fading, scratches, graffiti, and other elements. In addition to being completely customizable with any design you desire on the printed areas, dry erase enhances the usability of your sign. By selecting "Dry Erase Laminate" option from the coating drop-down at the top of this page, you can turn any foam board sign into a custom dry erase board.

Q:
Will my dry erase foam board sign leave a stain or shadow after the marker dries?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The dry erase laminate we use is designed to be high quality and allow you to write clearly, and wipe away clean—even after the marker has been left for days. Dry erase markers may stain if left on the dry erase surface for over extended periods or when exposed for long periods in the sun.

In the rare case that a stain is left on your dry erase foamboard sign, we suggest removing the stain with a non-abrasive cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or a small amount of hand sanitizer to wipe away tough stains. Citrus based cleaners also work well.

Q:
Why does shipping cost so much if you offer free shipping?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We offer free shipping on all orders over $99 unless the order requires freight shipping or contains a rigid material over 36 inches in either direction. Due to simple shipping rules, rigid signs that are over certain dimensions require to be shipped via freight shipping. This causes the shipping expense to be much more than usual.

Q:
Can I add grommets or holes to these signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

While it’s possible to add grommets in your foam board sign, we generally do not recommend it. You can add 3M Command ™ Strips, Velcro, or an easel back to your order instead so you can display your foam board. If you still want to use grommets in your foam board sign, please contact us before ordering so we can help you customize your sign.

Q:
Do you offer color matching? 
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes. Please contact us if you are interested in color matching for your custom foam board sign.
Q:
What is the lifespan of your foam board signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Foam boards are most often used for one-time events. Despite this, assuming that they are cared for and used appropriately they can last two years or more. Thus, your foam board signs don’t need to be purchased regularly but rather used and stored correctly.
Q:
How do foamboard, foam board, foamcore, foam core, and foam signs differ?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Actually, they don't. Foamboard and foamcore are misspellings of the word "foam board" and the brand name Fome-Core, respectively.

Foam board and Fome-Cor are synonymous. All these terms can be used to describe a foam sign in which your design or logo is printed directly onto the surface of the foam material. As noted above, our foam board signs are made with a foam center and paper-faced exterior for clear printing. There may be a minor difference between the brand and actual material as some sign shops source from the manufacturers or wholesalers. Foam boards are normally 3⁄16" thick, but custom thicknesses can be ordered by contacting us. Regardless of which name or term you might use we'll know that you are ordering a foam sign, so don’t worry!

Q:
Can I use foam board signs outdoors?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Foam board signs are intended for interior use only. Using them outside exposes them to the elements that can cause damage. Whether it’s a little precipitation or high winds, foam board signs aren’t designed to be used outdoors.

Q:
What are the typical uses of foam board?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Foam boards signs are designed to be used inside only. Indoor uses for foam board signs include one-time business and school presentations, point of purchase displays in retail environments, event signage, exhibits at museums and other locations, trade show signage and more.
Q:
How do I install or hang my foam board sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

How you install or post your foam board sign largely depends on the setting and usage. Most foam boards can be propped up on easels, framed, or placed on a surface using an adhesive. You can also install your foam board signage using adhesive, tape, rope, string, zip ties, etc.
