Tips for Best Results
For best erasability, use quality dry erase markers and erase promptly after use. For stubborn marks, use a whiteboard cleaning spray or damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid permanent markers which cannot be erased from the dry erase surface. Store flat or hanging to prevent warping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dry erase foam board work like a regular whiteboard?
Yes! Dry erase foam board has a smooth wipeable surface that accepts standard dry erase markers and erases cleanly with a whiteboard eraser or dry cloth — just like traditional whiteboards. The main difference is the lightweight foam core construction makes it portable and easy to transport without requiring wall mounting or heavy stands. It provides the same erasable functionality in a much more portable, lightweight format.
What markers work on dry erase foam board?
Use standard dry erase whiteboard markers on dry erase foam board. All major brands of dry erase markers work perfectly — including Expo, Quartet, and others. Erase with a standard whiteboard eraser, dry cloth, or slightly damp cloth for best results. Important: Do NOT use permanent markers (Sharpie, etc.) as they will not erase from the dry erase surface.
Can I use dry erase foam board for trade shows and presentations?
Absolutely! Dry erase foam board is excellent for trade shows, conferences, training sessions, and portable presentations where you need a reusable writing surface that travels easily. The lightweight construction makes it simple to pack, transport, and set up at events. Use it for information displays, interactive demonstrations, brainstorming sessions, or reusable signage that can be updated throughout an event. It can be propped on an easel, hung temporarily, or hand-held during presentations.
How do I hang or display dry erase foam board?
Because dry erase foam board is lightweight, you have multiple display options: prop it on a tabletop easel, hang it temporarily with Command strips or mounting tape, lean it against a wall or display stand, or hand-hold it during presentations and training sessions. Unlike heavy traditional whiteboards that require permanent wall mounting, dry erase foam board's light weight gives you flexibility in how you display and use it for temporary or portable applications.
