Foam Board
Foam board is a backing material used for exhibitions and display purposes and for framing art. In the US it is sometimes called foam core and in the Uk can be called Kappa, centerfoam and foamex . It is usually made using a Styrofoam centre, about half a centimetre thick, covered on both sides by paper or plastic to form a kind of sandwich. For display stands, often several foam boards will be taped together, the tape forming ‘hinges’.

Foam Board is Strong
Foam board is incredibly strong considering how lightweight it is. It is therefore useful to help transport exhibition or art pieces. Foam board will degrade over long time periods, however, so it should not be considered as a long-term archiving solution.

Foam Board as a Cork Board?
As foam board is designed to accept drawing pins and display pins, it can be used as a kind of temporary bulletin board (replacing the more traditional cork board). Additionally, as foam board is available in white or black it can also be used as a whiteboard or blackboard.

Other Uses for Foam Board
Shaping foam board is relatively simple using a craft knife or Stanley knife. As it is usually paper covered, most paper glues are ideal for gluing foam board together. For this reason, it is also sometimes used in modelling as a substitute for balsa wood.
