Purpose & Audience

This Pacon foam board serves artists, students and exhibitors who need a rigid yet lightweight surface for mounting, framing or display work. The black paper faces provide a neutral backdrop that suits photographs, graphics and painted projects alike.

Practical Limits

The 3/16" polystyrene core keeps the sheet easy to cut with a craft knife but it will dent under heavy pressure and is not designed for structural load-bearing. The paper surface accepts paints, inks and adhesives, yet prolonged moisture or solvent exposure can cause the layers to separate.

Build & Everyday Use

Acid-free paper liners protect artwork from yellowing over time, and the smooth finish allows clean lines when drawing or applying tape. Sheets arrive flat and ready to use, though large formats may require careful handling to avoid creasing the edges during transport.

Highlights

  • Lightweight rigidity from polystyrene foam core
  • Smooth paper faces accept paints and markers
  • Acid-free sheets protect artwork over time

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16 or the 5511 version?

The number 16 refers to the item identifier, while 5511 is the manufacturer part number; both describe the same black foam board.

What does the 3/16" thickness mean once the board is in use?

The 3/16" thickness gives a rigid yet lightweight panel that holds its shape for mounting, framing and display work.

How does the paper-laminated polystyrene construction cap what media I can use?

The smooth paper faces accept paints, markers and adhesives, while the foam core keeps the sheet flat during handling.
