Poster Display Board
A poster display board is a visual communication tool used to present information, graphics, and artwork in a public or semi-public setting. These boards facilitate the sharing of ideas, announcements, marketing materials, or educational content.
Materials
Poster display boards are constructed from a variety of materials, each offering different characteristics in terms of durability, portability, and cost:
- Cardboard: The most economical option, often used for temporary displays. Lightweight and easily recyclable, but less durable.
- Foam Board: A polystyrene foam core sandwiched between paper or plastic surfaces. Offers a smooth surface for mounting posters and is relatively lightweight. Available in varying thicknesses.
- Coroplast (Corrugated Plastic): A fluted plastic material known for its water resistance and durability. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Wood: Provides a sturdy and long-lasting option, often used for permanent displays or presentation boards. Can be painted or covered with fabric.
- Metal: Offers a professional and robust solution, frequently found in retail environments or for long-term displays. Aluminum is a common choice due to its lightweight nature and resistance to corrosion.
