Business owners are always looking for new ways to advertise and market their brand to new and returning audiences. Digital marketing can get overwhelming and expensive – so it might be best for you to focus on traditional marketing like print marketing. Fast Prints specializes in custom print marketing for businesses of all sizes. If you have local business with a physical location, updating your signage or getting a custom foam board for an upcoming event can be beneficial. If you are not familiar with foam boards, let’s dive in.

Foam Board Basics

You have most likely seen foam boards at a local school or mom and pop shop near you. It is a very common and popular way that businesses can advertise their brand in-person. Easy to cut and lightweight, foam boards are reasonably priced printing options and basically are a thick alternative to posters. Popular with small local businesses, many industries utilize them for advertising their services or products. Event signage is a great use for foam boards and Fast Prints can help you with directional signage or even interactive white board setups.

Best Types of Foam Boards

Matte-finished foam boards have no glare and will not have any fingerprints. If you do not want a lot of shine and you want to ensure that your audience will focus on the design, matte-finish is the way to go. This is recommended for low-saturation images and designs as well as low-contrast professional images.

Glossy finished foam boards have a more subdued look and are sleek and soft. Opposite that of matte, these are best used for high-saturation and high-contrast images. Recommended for advertising boards, movie props, and marketing posters – these can be  a great way for your business to stand out against the competition. Glossy finish means you will have a more aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching appearance for passersby.

Uses of Foam Boards

The most common usage for foam boards for businesses of all sizes is at trade shows and presentations as displays. Add that creative and professional touch to your next event by showcasing your brand on your very own custom foam board. Foam boards can be utilized for businesses in all industries. For example, restaurants can showcase their menu on a menu board, schools can showcase presentations or upcoming events at exhibitions, and signage can become portable for businesses that have multiple events or trade shows.
