Question
What is a foam-back poster and how does it differ from a regular poster?
Answer
A foam-back poster has a white foam board bonded to the back of the printed poster. That backing adds rigidity and structure so the piece can stand on its own, which a plain poster cannot do.
- Built-in structure: the foam core keeps the poster flat and firm.
- Stand-alone display: it holds up for freestanding signage without a separate frame.
- Versus a regular poster: a plain poster is flexible paper meant to be hung or mounted, while the foam back is self-supporting.
