Scored foam core panel for Brooks & Dunn concert advertisement.

Printed foam core board is a popular product for everything from posters to framed wall art.  Foam core is an almost weightless board made with a shredded paper foam core and a white coated paper stock face.  It is also one of the least expensive medias we can print on so for short term use it is a great value. We digitally print directly to the foam core with photo quality results.

Use printed foam core for:

  • Wall art
  • Trade show displays
  • Tabletop displays
  • Posters
  • Hanging signs
  • Retail & POP signs
  • Window signs

Printed foam core can be easily cut with a utility knife and can be scored and folded for a three-dimensional look.  Foam core signs can also be shape cut for a unique look, like the Nordstrom Rack window signs.  Lightweight foam core prints are easy to handle and change out, and they can be mounted to interior walls or hung from the ceiling.

When storing foam core prints, they should be handled gently and placed away from heavy or sharp objects because the paper face dents easily.  Also store away from moisture and if needed, clean using a dry cloth. Signs for Success can provide boxes and corner protectors to ensure safe storage.

If you need the same look but want a more durable product be sure to ask about Gator Plast. Gator Plast utilizes High Impact Styrene plastic faces and shredded Styrene core. This makes for a denser, harder surface which is less prone to dents. Also being plastic it can be cleaned using water based cleaners and not destroyed by moisture. While more expensive it is often, depending on use, the better value for your project.

Foam Board Printing is popular for creating anything from custom posters to unique framed wall art.  Foam board is made with a polystyrene foam core and a smooth white paper backing on either side.  We carry 4’ x 8’ sheets of foam board that can be custom cut to any dimensions or shape.  For example, we can cut out a custom standee whether you need a tabletop display or a life sized display.  For extra-large prints, we can print and install several foam board sheets for a seamless wall display.

This kiosk is decorated with full sized animal standee cutouts that are free standing as well as a folding informational "poster" standee on the table, foam board printing

Animal Shelter standees and table top display

Foam board printing is cost-effective, and the result is a professional, vibrant, full color image for your custom indoor display.

Foam board can be used for temporary signs, seasonal signs, or permanent indoor signs.  The outer paper covering may bend or dent with force, so with permanent displays and artwork, it’s best to either frame them or place them high up out of the way of traffic and accidental bumps.  For temporary signs and prints, foam board printing is great for posters, trade show displays, retail signs, POP signs, window displays, and more!

A few alternatives to foam board printing are:

  • Corrugated Plastic Signs and Standees
  • Paper Posters and Sign Inserts
  • Banner Stands
  • Acrylic Lobby Signs

No matter what your project is, we have a great sign solution for you.  Our experienced, in-house design team will work with you on design, materials and installation methods to make sure you are getting exactly the sign or display you are envisioning.

Foam Core Posters vs. Paper Posters

Washington Policy Center table posters

Foam Core Posters are a great alternative to paper posters.  Foam board material is lightweight and rigid, and it provides a number of different display options.  For example, foam core posters can be mounted using hanging hardware, stud mounted to a wall, framed, or placed in a stand.  Foam board can be scored and folded.  We can also cut foam board into a custom shape to make unique hanging signs, standees and displays.

The main difference between foam core posters and traditional paper posters is that foam board is rigid.  Over time, paper posters may bend, curl, or tear.  Foam core is lightweight and provides a beautiful matte finish, but most importantly, it is a substantial material that does especially well as a hanging sign or tabletop display.

Foam core posters are great for:

  • Trade show displays
  • Indoor signs
  • Sign display stands
  • POP signs
  • Posters
  • Hanging signs, and more!

Creative Uses for Trade Show Banners

Inland Northwest Wildlife Council banner for tradeshows looks great and was designed by Signs for Success in North Spokane, trade show banners

Trade show banner for Inland Northwest Wildlife Council

Trade shows are a great opportunity to show your business off to the community, but if you’re just starting out, finding the funds for complex trade show booths, hardware and other accessories can be a challenge.  Banners are one of the most versatile ways to display graphics – we’ve used banner material in frames, on a billboard structure, and even as tradeshow displays.

We digitally printed a banner for Inland Northwest Wildlife Council for the recent Spokane Fair & Expo.  The banner turned out beautifully.  We also printed foamcore cutouts of a bird, fish, and their logo and mounted them to the banner to give the artwork more dimension.  Adding lighting to the display turned a simple trade show banner into a complete trade show display.

RETRACTABLE BANNER STANDS

Retractable banners are another great addition to trade show graphics if you already have the basics.  A retractable banner increases the visual impact

Feather banners are becoming more and more popular at trade shows.  They stand high above tables and booths and are easy to spot.  Eye-catching, festive and professional, they work indoors or out at trade shows, festivals, sports events, fundraisers and expos.

You may want to utilize one or more of these custom trade show banners:

  • Hemmed and grommeted banners, great for backdrops or hung across the front of your table.
  • Double sided banners, either grommeted or with pole pocket for viewing from multiple angles.

GSI hanging window signs

Window Signs draw customers in.  Eye-catching window signs will also increase brand recognition as customers begin to recognize your retail store based on certain colors or images.  When designing window signs, you should try to include both a relevant image and an incentive.

Nordstrom Rack foam core signs Spokane Valley

The first element of your hanging window sign should be a large attractive image – too many images are confusing, but one large graphic will draw interest.  A bright color also works well when text must cover the majority of a sign.  Secondly, and just as important as the first element, is an incentive.  Whether it’s a sale, gift with purchase, or Buy One Get One special, an incentive will get customers to act.  Run a special on a product that hasn’t been moving as much as you’d like, and you’ll create more interest.  Finally, you can add a plug in for social media, your website or store credit card, but this extra information isn’t necessary to bring in the masses.  If it fits into the design, great; but if the window signs are starting to look busy, it’s best to leave that information for indoor signs or POP (point-of-purchase) signs.

Circle cut retail store signs attract customers

Nordstrom rack uses colorful circular signs to grab their customers’ attention.  Two circles carry Nordstrom slogans, while the third features a 70% off sale.  Large posters in adjacent windows feature a stylish model or a stack of sunglasses and “Hello Summer” or “Shades of Summer.”  Merle Norman Cosmetics uses hanging window signs to showcase their newest product.  Their simple and clean designs feature the product, centered, and a brief description or catch phrase.

Window signs Spokane are usually printed on thick paper poster material or lightweight foamcore.  Both are paper products suitable for indoor use.  Window signs can be hung several different ways.  They should be placed just inside the window where it can be easily viewed from the outside, but protected from the elements and other wear and tear.  One common way to hang a window sign is by top grommets and hung by thin wire hooks or thread.  Some other methods include: pole pockets, suction cups, or VHB tape.  A Signs for Success designer can assist you in choosing a suitable display or hardware system for your hanging window signs.

When considering your retail store’s curb, er, window appeal, consider adding hanging window signs that will inform and invite your customers to come in and see more.  The incentives you advertise will be sure to increase customer interest and store sales.  Contact us for a free quote on window signs Spokane!
