Description
Fome-Cor White Foam Board is the industry's leading foam board for over 60 years, trusted by graphic designers, sign makers, framers, and artists for its exceptional quality and versatility. This lightweight, rigid substrate features a white extruded polystyrene foam core sandwiched between bright white clay-coated paper facers on both sides, delivering superior printability and professional results for short-term displays and mounting applications.
Available in 1/8", 3/16", and 1/2" thicknesses with sizes ranging from small format 8" × 10" up to full sheets 48" × 96". The bright white surface provides excellent color reproduction for digital printing, screen printing, painting, and marker applications. Its unique manufacturing process creates a foam core that offers superior cutting precision and fabrication versatility.
Perfect for point-of-purchase displays, trade show graphics, interior signage, picture framing, school projects, architectural models, and temporary promotional campaigns. The material cuts easily and cleanly - even by hand - while maintaining dimensional stability and structural integrity. When die-cut, Fome-Cor creates a compressed "pillowing" edge that stays closed, ideal for creating professional displays and unique 3D embossing effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is foam board used for?
Foam board (also called foam core) is used for point-of-purchase displays, trade show graphics, interior signage, picture framing, mounting photographs and artwork, school presentations, architectural models, and temporary promotional campaigns. Its lightweight rigidity and excellent printability make it ideal for any application requiring a professional display surface.
Can I print directly on foam board?
Yes! Fome-Cor's bright white clay-coated surface is specifically designed for direct printing. It works excellently with UV flatbed digital printing, screen printing, inkjet printing, and even hand-painting with markers, tempera, or acrylic paints. The surface delivers vibrant color reproduction and sharp detail.
How do I cut foam board?
Foam board cuts easily with a sharp utility knife or craft knife using a straightedge as a guide. For clean cuts, use a fresh blade and make multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut. Professional fabricators use die cutting, CNC routing, or specialized foam board cutters for high-volume production.
What thickness should I choose?
3/16" is the most popular thickness and works for most applications including signage, displays, and framing. Choose 1/8" for lightweight temporary displays where minimal weight is important. Choose 1/2" for applications requiring maximum rigidity, dimensional stability, or when creating thick 3D effects.
