Many digital sign printers are already familiar with our UltraBoard Classic and UltraBoard White Digital Printing (DP) foam boards.

UltraBoard Peel N’ Stick foam core boards are primarily used for photographic mounting applications; or buy more cottage-level shops that do not yet have direct-to-substrate print capabilities.

Users then apply their artwork to the adhesive surface of the board to produce an instantly mounted piece.
