foam core
Lightweight display material
Foam core is a lightweight material used for mounting, crafting, and model-making, consisting of a layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two sheets of paper or cardboard.
It cuts easily with a blade and holds its shape, making it popular for presentations, architectural models, and signage: I mounted the poster on foam core.
Also called foam board.
