Self-Adhesive Foam Core is a type of rigid board that combines a lightweight foam core with an adhesive surface, allowing for the direct mounting of artwork, photographs, or prints without the need for additional adhesives or a press. It is designed to provide a stable, flat, and supportive backing while simplifying the mounting process for display or framing purposes. Self-adhesive foam core is available in various thicknesses and surface finishes to accommodate different types of artwork and display requirements.

Uses in Framing

Permanent mounting of photographs, posters, and printed artwork.
Creating a flat, lightweight backing for frames and shadow boxes.
Temporary displays in galleries or exhibitions, when a permanent mount is acceptable.
Mounting for presentation boards, signage, and portfolios.

Best Practices

Ensure the artwork surface is clean and free of dust before applying the foam core.
Measure and trim the foam core precisely to match the dimensions of the artwork or frame.
Apply even pressure across the adhesive surface to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles.
Use cutting mats and a sharp utility knife for clean edge trimming.
For archival framing, verify that the adhesive is acid-free and safe for long-term use.
