Question

What's the difference between 3/16 foam board and 56pt counter cards?

Answer

They are different products for different jobs. A 3/16 inch foam board is a lightweight rigid display board with a foam center, while a 56pt counter card is a thick, heavy paperboard piece meant to stand on a counter or tabletop.
