Foam Board Sizes and Thicknesses: Which Size, Which Stand?
Foam board sizes, 5 mm thickness, formats from 50x70 to 152x305 cm, cardboard stand lengths, plus cutting and printing tips.
Foam board (known as “fotoblok” in Turkey) is a lightweight polystyrene foam sheet faced with paper on both sides. It is used as a light backing for posters, exhibitions, shop windows and models. It is for indoor use; moisture and sun damage it outdoors.

Cardboard stands

Cutting and printing tips
- Use a sharp knife and steel ruler; cut in two passes for a clean edge.
- Plan the layout to reduce waste. From a 122 × 244 cm board, 50 × 70 cm pieces give 6 in a simple layout and 7 when some are rotated. The cutting calculator helps. Ready-made scenario: foam board cutting plan.
- Print directly on a flatbed UV printer, or mount printed vinyl and add lamination.
- Store boards flat.
