They are usually between 3mm to 5mm thick (1/8” and 3/16”). The 3mm option is a great option without compromising on quality – they’re also a little lighter, making them the best option for presentations, lectures or for a mood board. For added durability, we offer the thicker 5mm foam board, which offers increased durability and is less prone to bending or creasing. Their enhanced 3D appearance means they can give a bigger impact.
Sticker Material
When it comes to the material of our sticker, we opt for the use of PP (polypropylene) sticker. It is ideal for its rich luminous effect as its colours appear well. Shimmer can be seen through the print in a subtle, elegant name.
Our stickers are also moisture resistant and withstand external elements with its double layer.
Finish
You can either choose from a matte and glossy laminate.
Matte finish is glare-free. Great if you wish to portray a soft, subdued and professional appearance. Ideal for accounting or law firms with a corporate environment.
Glossy finish may be subjected to glare but can repel moisture better. The glossy finish is typically used for high contrast and high-saturation photos. It is more eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing for F&B or movie posters.

Lifespan for Foam Board Print
Foam Board prints are printed on our high-quality PVC foam board material that comes with a standard lifespan of 2+ years if kept primarily indoors. While foam boards can be used both indoors and outdoors, this material is not totally weather resistant or waterproof. The material also has certain pliability and can be damaged or creased if not handled properly.
With our added layer of lamination, you can be assured of added protection against the elements and UV-decolourization. Nevertheless, exposure to inclement weather or extreme temperatures should be minimized.
Our foam board printing comes with a stamp of approval from our customers when they tell us that they reuse the foam boards we printed for them for one event after another.
Framing Options
To extend their lifespan, we have the option of adding PVC frame caps. It serves to protect your foam board poster prints from edge lift or dents and does not add much weight to the poster. We also offer Instagram Foam Board Frame where the cutout resembles an Instagram post. This provides a nice touch to foam board posters that go up on the wall.
