foam board

Lightweight display material

Foam board is a lightweight panel made of polystyrene foam sandwiched between paper or plastic facings.

It's used for mounting photographs and artwork, building architectural models, and creating signs or displays: I mounted the poster on foam board for the presentation.

The material cuts easily with a utility knife but dents if handled roughly.
