10 Reasons to Print Photos on Foam Boards
Do you remember the time when you went to CVS or another pharmacy to get your photos printed? You could use their machine where you plug in your USB and decide on the size you want printed?
Once you’ve printed your photo, you drive over to a frame shop where you:
- Spend a lot of time trying to figure out a frame that not only complements your photo but also your room decor.
- Receive a large bill
- Pick up your framed photo in glass and hope you do not break it before you hang it in your desired room
That wasn’t that long ago folks!
Why bother trying to take your print to a frame shop nowadays when photo printing has come a long way in the past decade or two? When you look at your lovely family photo on the wall, you don’t want to think about how much money you spent to put up the photo…you want to focus on the memory.
One of the many benefits of recent printing technology is the affordability and accessibility of printing photos.
Print photos on foam boards directly is extremely economical.
Foam board or foamcore board is made of a dense foam core sandwiched between two sheets of matte paper. Foam core is typically made from polystyrene, the same plastic that is also used to make styrofoam. Because the polystyrene core is 95-98% air, foam core boards are incredibly lightweight.
