Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is foam board?
We offer 3/16" (standard, lightweight) and 1/2" (premium, more rigid) foam core options.
Can foam board go outdoors?
Foam board is designed for indoor use. For outdoor signage, consider our corrugated plastic yard signs or aluminum signs.
Can you cut custom shapes?
Yes! We can die-cut foam board into custom shapes for unique displays.
About the foam board sign designer
Foam board is the lightest rigid panel we print, which makes it the default for indoor displays, presentation boards and anything that has to hang from a ceiling grid or sit on an easel.
The designer previews the exact panel size against common easel and frame dimensions, so a board designed here does not arrive an inch too tall for the stand it was meant for.
How the designer works, step by step
- Pick your size — Start from a standard preset or type an exact width and height. The designer redraws to scale instantly so what you see on screen matches the finished print.
- Add your artwork — Upload a PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF or AI file, or start from a blank canvas. Uploaded files are scaled proportionally and can be nudged with arrow keys for precise placement.
- Add and align text — Type headlines and body copy, choose a font, colour and size, then use the horizontal, vertical and centre alignment controls to lock everything to the layout grid.
- Check the safe area — The live guides mark bleed, trim and safe zones. Anything inside the safe area is guaranteed to survive cutting and finishing.
- Review and order — Live pricing updates as you change size and quantity. Add to cart and our prepress team reviews every file before it goes on press.

More questions about this tool
Can foam board go outside?
Only briefly and under cover. Moisture separates the paper facing from the foam core, so choose corrugated plastic or aluminum for anything exposed to rain.
How do I mount it without damaging a wall?
Command strips or removable double-sided foam tape hold a standard board fine. Larger panels do better on an easel or in a channel frame.
Is it good for photo prints?
Yes. The smooth surface holds fine detail well, which is why photographers and agencies use it for presentation boards.
What resolution do I need?
150-300 DPI at final size. Foam board is often viewed from three feet away, so detail matters more than it does on a yard sign.
