Foam Core Signs

These boards work indoors and on short runs: presentation and welcome boards, trade show graphics, open house signs, menu boards, and photo enlargements. The dry erase, reflective and wedding boards sit on foam core printing; the choices for this sign follow below.

You can order a single board for one presentation or run up to 100 for an event, a store rollout, or a set of directional signs. On top of that, every order earns 4OVER4 loyalty coins that apply for up to 13% off the order cost at checkout, worth about $6.50 back on a typical order.

What Are Foam Core Signs

Foam core signs are full-color prints mounted on a lightweight, rigid foam board, offered in 10 sizes from a 16" x 20" up to a custom 40" x 60". People reach for them when a paper poster would sag or a heavy panel would be overkill: booth graphics, easel-back displays, seating charts, directional boards, and blown-up photos. Our guide on foam core vs mounted vs framed posters, and which one to print sets the three side by side, and our foamcore signs video shows this board. The foam core video overview covers the mounted print board, and the wedding foam core video overview covers the wedding version. Because the 3/16" board is stiff but light, the sign holds its shape on a stand and still fits in a car without a crate. If you want a surface you can write on and reuse, the Dry Erase Foamcore adds a wipe-clean top, and when a sign has to catch the eye in low light the Reflective Foamcore bounces light back.

What Size Should a Foam Core Sign Be

Pick the size by the distance the sign has to read from. A 16" x 20" sign is the tabletop and easel default, right for a welcome board or a small display. Step up to 18" x 24" or 20" x 24" for a sign that reads across a booth, or 20" x 30" when it needs to carry a wall. Ten preset sizes cover most jobs, and when none of them fits, a custom order runs all the way to 40" x 60" for a full statement board. The chart below lists every size, both board colors and the 3 materials, the same choices the price calculator offers.

Foam Core Sign Sizes and Order Options

• Your file. A print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG, or art built on the blank template.

What Materials and Finishes Can You Choose

Start with the print face. The 10.4 mil Semi Gloss is the balanced pick, clean and readable under most lighting. The 10.4 mil Hi Gloss adds color and contrast for photos and bold graphics. The 32# Bright White Uncoated reads matte and glare free, good for text-heavy boards. Underneath, the print mounts to a 3/16" foam core board that comes in white or black, so you can pick an edge that blends in or frames the print.

Add a 3 mil single-sided gloss lamination when the sign will get handled, since it shields the surface from fingerprints and scuffs and gives it a subtle sheen. Before anything prints, choose a free online proof to sign off on the file, or send it straight to production when you already trust your artwork.

If your design is finished, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. The blank foam core sign template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your art stays clear of the board edge. Take the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

How Much Do Foam Core Signs Cost

Foam core signs start at $49.99 for a single 16" x 20" sign, so you can order one board for a keynote without paying for a stack you do not need. For an event, a store rollout, or a set of directional boards, you can run up to 100 signs. A larger size, a gloss lamination, or a faster turnaround move the total, and the price panel shows each change before checkout. Every order also earns 4OVER4 loyalty coins that apply for up to 13% off the order cost at checkout.

How Fast Can You Get Foam Core Signs

Foam core signs print on a standard 4 business day turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 3 business days, 2 business days, or Next-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Upload your art as a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG, pick your speed, and see exactly what the rush adds before you commit. 4OVER4.COM has printed since 1999 and 99.8% of orders land on time.
