Foam board and Gatorboard are two popular materials used in the photography industry for mounting prints and creating displays. Here is a detailed list comparing the two materials:

Foam Board

  • Foam board is made from a polystyrene foam core sandwiched between two sheets of paper or plastic.
  • It is lightweight and easy to cut and shape, making it a popular choice for creating displays and signs.
  • Foam board is affordable and readily available in most craft stores and online retailers.
  • It is suitable for temporary displays and presentations, as it is not as durable as other materials.
  • Foam board is not waterproof and can warp if exposed to moisture or humidity.

Gatorboard

  • It is thicker and more rigid than foam board, making it a popular choice for mounting prints and creating displays that require more durability.
  • Gatorboard is moisture-resistant and can withstand exposure to humidity and temperature changes.
  • It is more expensive than foam board, but its durability and longevity make it a worthwhile investment for long-term displays.
  • Gatorboard can be difficult to cut and shape due to its density and thickness.

Q&A FAQ:

Frequently asked Questions

What is your most popular product?

Aluminum Signs would be one of our most popular products we sell. Metal prints are becoming what canvas prints used to be in the home. People used to print all of their portraits on canvas and give as gifts. Today, more people are gravitating to the long lasting, edgy looking metal aluminum and dibond choices. We can print on these products in full vivid color. Not only can we print high resolution photographs, we can print original artwork as well. Aluminum signs are our most popular parking lot signs. No Parking, Restricted Parking Hours, Handicapped Parking Only signs are just a few of the many outdoor parking lot signs we print. 

Will my banner hold up in windy areas?

Vinyl Banners are great for everyday outside use with occasional windows but if your area has high winds or consistent winds, a mesh banner is the perfect banner for you! Mesh Banners are made of a durable mesh material that has holes that let the windy glide on through the banner. The holes are small enough that it doesn't detract from the full color vivid image, photo or message printed on your banner. On a vinyl banner the hems and grommets doing a pretty good job of reinforcing the banner on windy days. But with a mesh banner the mesh material takes away the constant strain high winds can put on any banner, allowing the banner to last much longer. Both banners can be used outdoors in almost any weather, but if you already know your area is subject to constant winds, choose our mesh banner!

What material is used for real estate signs?

Real Estate signs are most often used outside in all weather conditions, so it's important to select a material that will last. Our Corrugated Plastic (Corplast) yard signs are a great choice for real estate signs! The Corplast signs come in three thickness choices: 4mil, 6mil (our most common) and a heavy duty 10mil. If you need a small real estate sign like a 8"x 10" or 12"x 12" to prop up in a window, the 4mil choice works well. If you are looking for an 18"x 24" to hang on a post or prop up with an H Frame stand, our 6mil is perfect for this! If you really want to make a statement and go big, you can showcase your 24"x 36" For Sale sign on our 10mil Corplast material. All signs are printed with UV coated inks in full vivid color and are meant to last!

What type of material are banners made of?

Vinyl banners are made of a 13 ounce vinyl scrim material. The vinyl scrim can withstand harsh conditions and last for years.

What type of banner is good in constant winds?

Vinyl Banners are great in typical outdoor conditions, especially if those harsh conditions are temporary.

Mesh banners are made of a breathable mesh material that allows the wind to flow through the banner, which lessons the strain on the banner.
