Foam board is a rewarding material to work with. You can easily print and paint it, making it a perfect surface for images and text. This comes in handy both privately and professionally. Processing and fixing a foam board is no problem either, because its core (foamed PVC) makes foam boards much lighter than other board materials. You can cut it into the desired shape in no time. Add to this the fact that foam board is available in many colours and thicknesses, and you immediately understand why it has been used extensively for years.
Although you can easily cut foam boards yourself, we are happy to cut the boards to size for you. Enter the required dimensions when ordering and we will ensure that everything is shipped quickly and securely packaged.

If you are looking for a foam board, you will usually come across three variants: white, coloured and ECO. We have all of these in our range, so you will always find what best suits your needs. The white variant is available in quite a few convenient thicknesses, and can be used in a wide range of applications. White foam boards are often used to be printed on. The coloured version can also be printed, but looks just as good without it, for example in the form of large letters or a logo. If you choose an ECO version, the environment will be extra happy. This variant consists of up to 80% recycled material and you can see this clearly on the board itself: the recycled part is black and the top layer of new material is white.
A foam board is a light and airy material, which is not very suitable for outdoor use because of its sensitivity to UV radiation. It is therefore used almost exclusively in indoor spaces. Due to its light weight and creative possibilities, you can use foam boards in ways that are difficult for many other board materials.
Some examples where foam board is used:
Concrete applications include:
Did you know…
You can very easily cut foam board to size with a box cutter and glue or paint it, which is ideal for model making, for example?
The various foam boards in our range are available in 10 colours and almost as many thicknesses.
Did you know…
Foam board’s top layers are particularly suitable for printing and painting thanks to their whiteness and colour fastness?
A foam board can be worked extremely well. You can easily cut it with a box cutter to make the material into a certain size or shape. To get the best results, make sure the blade of your box cutter is always sharp. You can also saw foam board and (for a more precise cut) mill it. Even drilling and water cutting works fine with foam board. Only laser cutting is absolutely not possible with this material! For further processing, you can glue, paint, letter and print foam boards.
A foam board’s weight is so little that you can easily fix it just with glue. We recommend using Seal n Bond mounting kit, in combination with Prep K. Rody Rapid instant glue is also very suitable for mounting foam boards. For a great presentation, you can use additional aids such as spacers and panel holders.

Foam board is very popular in stand construction because of its light weight and because it is so easy to work with?
A foam board panel consists of foamed PVC and has a solid core with two smooth sides. The material is durable, resistant to most external influences and enormously versatile in its applications. Foam board is also easy to recycle and the ECO variant even consists largely of recycled material. All types of foam boards have a protective film on one side and have a stylish look that shows what you stand for.
Features of our foam boards include:
Did you know that…
PVC and therefore also foam boards are highly resistant to dirt and chemical attacks?
Nothing is easier than maintaining a foam board. Because this material is static and therefore attracts dust, you should clean it regularly. With an anti static polishing cloth and an anti static cleaner such as Burnus, this can be done in no time. You then immediately prevent new dust from accumulating.
Do not use an ordinary cloth to clean foam board, as this will make it static.
