How Foam Board Printing Works

Our foam core boards are produced in sheets up to 4ft × 8ft in size. Since these large format prints cannot be bent or rolled, a special flatbed press is used during the printing process.

The boards are placed on a wide surface where graphics are rendered line-by-line at high-fidelity photo resolution. We print up to 1200 dpi (dots per inch), which allows us to capture the most intricate details, right down to a single strand of hair.

Because the ink is printed directly to the boards they eliminate the need to mount artwork or photographs and are a popular choice for museums, art shows, galleries, retail and media events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Poster Board FAQs

Can I buy just one poster board?

Yes, though it's worth mentioning that you are paying the same startup fee for every new project so buying just one print isn't the most economical option

Can I get a custom size for my posterboard? What's the maximum I can print?

We can print any size in inches, millimeters or points. Maximum printable area is 48" Wide (1219mm) x 96" Tall (2438mm).

For larger installations, foamboards can also be floor-mounted and tiled horizontally for as long as you need.

Can I print on both sides of poster board?

Yes, you can have double sided psoterboard prints, or stacked duplex prints.

Can I order poster boards with custom shapes or cutouts?

Laser cutting services are available to create any custom shape, including rounded corners and die cuts.

Do you offer mounting or framing services for poster boards?

Yes, we offer these services for both standard and custom framing sizes.

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders of poster boards?

Absolutely. Talk to one of our representatives to see how much you can save on your next psoterboard order.

Can I see a sample print before finalizing the order?

Yes, you can order custom samples and have them delivered to you.

How long will my order take? Do you provide Rush Services?

We do provide [rush service](/poster-board/rush-service) which can deliver foam boards within 12-24 hours. Standard turnaround time is 2-3 business days.

Poster Board Quality FAQs

What kind of inks are used?

We use UV cured inks in full color CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black). These inks dry quickly and retain their color for many years. NOTE: While CMYK process does cover a wide spectrum of visible colors, there will always be some which cannot be produced (metallics, fluorescents and certain families of beige)

Can you print or match stock colors from Pantone, Benjamin Moore, etc?

While we do not print spot colors or specialty inks, a majority of these colors can be successfully produced in - CMYK.

NOTE: For mission critical color matching we recommend ordering press proofs for the best results.

Are poster boards suitable for outdoor use?

While foamcore is durable and resilient for indoor applications, it will quickly fall apart under the rain given that it is essentially a polystyrene core sandwiched between two sheets of paper.

For outdoor posterboard printing & signs, we recommend Sintra/PVC and Coroplast which are designed to withstand exposure to the elements.

Are there any special care instructions for maintaining the quality of poster boards over time?

Sintra and Coroplast require minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with warm water and soap. Foamcore boards cannot be immersed in water and should be cleaned with a damp cloth.

What if I don't like my poster board print? Is there a return policy?

We stand by the quality of our work and will never charge the client for any errors on our part. This guarantee does not apply to errors relating to submitted artwork, which is the responsibility of the client to provide as "print-ready".

File Preparation FAQs

What file formats do you accept for artwork submissions?

We accept PDF, EPS, AI, TIFF, PSD & PSB files. For optimal results please ensure that they are at least 200dpi (300dpi for extra detail) and that your color mode is set to CMYK.

NOTE: For Indesign and Illutrator files, be sure to include any necessary fonts, or render those fonts to pixels (Rasterize command) or vectors (Create Outlines command) in order to avoid any delays with prepress.

How do I upload artwork?

We highly recommend cloud storage platforms like WeTransfer, Google Drive or Dropbox, especially for submitting high resolution artwork which are simply too big fit in an email.

What does bleed mean in printing? Why and when should we use it?

Bleed refers to the extra area around the actualy trim line. It is useful when you wish to extend an image or color all the way to the edge of the print. Minimum bleed size should be 1/8 of an inch.

What is the "safety zone" in printing?

The safety area refers to the inner 1/4 inch margin that is considered safe to put any text. In printing sometimes there is a subtle shift which may cause critical text beyond this margin to be trimmed away. It is basically wiggle room to ensure that your message appears intact.

Should I include crop marks in my design?

Crop marks are only necessarywhen submitting artwork that has a bleed margin. For all other applications simply size your canvas to your final size and we will handle the rest.

Do you offer design services for customers who need assistance creating their artwork?

Yes, we offer graphic design, layout and typography services. We can develop and adapt existing designs, or come up with a completely original concept based on your requirements.
