Mount with light pressure as our self-adhesive foam board consists of a thick inner core composed of polystyrene with a peel-and-stick surface on one side.
Made from the same material as our regular foam boards, the self-adhesive foam boards are permanent, making them the right choice for easily reproducible artwork (posters, digital prints, open-ended editions, etc.)
BLACK-ON-BLACK FOAM BOARDS
Our black-on-black foam boards feature black surface paper with a black core like regular foam board material. This can also be used as a non-glare backdrop for photo shoots.
