More About Foam Board

Foam Board Ireland — A1, A2 & A3 for Schools, Displays & Presentations

Hunt Office supplies foam board to primary schools, secondary schools, art departments and institutions across Ireland. Lightweight, rigid and easy to cut, foam board is the go-to mounting and display material for school science projects, art displays, poster presentations and Transition Year exhibitions. Available from Premier Stationery and Icon in A1, A2 and A3 in white and black, in standard flat sheets and trifold presentation formats, with packs of 10, 24 and 50 available for schools ordering at volume. Fast nationwide delivery across all 32 counties of Ireland.

Flat Foam Board Sheets — A1, A2 & A3 for Mounting & Display

Flat foam board sheets are the most versatile format for school use, suitable for mounting artwork, creating display boards, backing posters and building three-dimensional project models. Hunt Office stocks Premier 5mm Foam Board in white in A1, A2 and A3 — all in packs of 10, making them practical for art departments and science departments ordering for a full class. Black foam board is available in A2 and A3 from Premier, offering a striking alternative for display work, photography mounting and design projects where white borders would detract from the work. The Icon A2 White Foam Board at 5mm is also stocked for schools needing an alternative supply in A2.

Trifold Foam Mounting Board — For Science Fairs, Exhibitions & Presentations

Trifold foam mounting boards are the standard format for school science fair projects, Transition Year exhibitions, BT Young Scientist presentations and classroom display projects across Ireland. Hunt Office stocks Premier Universal Trifold Foam Mounting Board in three sizes — 19.5x27.5 inch (available in a pack of 50), 28x40 inch and 36x48 inch (both in packs of 24) — all at 5mm thickness. The trifold format stands independently on a table or desk, giving students a three-panel display surface for project write-ups, images, graphs and findings without needing a separate easel or stand. The 36x48 inch size is the largest format and the most commonly used for senior school science and technology project presentations.

Foam Board for School Art & Design Projects

Beyond science fairs and presentations, foam board is a practical material for school art and design work. Its smooth white surface accepts paint, markers, printed graphics and mounted photographs cleanly, while its rigid but lightweight structure makes it easy for students to handle and store. In secondary school Design and Communication Graphics (DCG) and Leaving Cert Art, foam board is used for model-making, architectural scale models, product design mock-ups and portfolio mounts. Black foam board creates strong contrast for photographic display and is popular for end-of-year art shows in secondary schools across Ireland.

Foam Board Ireland vs Foamex Board — What's the Difference?

In Ireland, "Foamex board" is a term often used interchangeably with foam board, but the two products are technically different. Foamex is a brand name for a rigid PVC foam sheet used primarily in commercial signage, exhibition stands and outdoor display — it is heavier, more durable and designed for professional printing applications. Standard foam board, like the Premier and Icon boards stocked here, consists of a lightweight polystyrene foam core sandwiched between two smooth paper or card faces — it is lighter, easier to cut with a craft knife, and better suited to school projects, presentations and art mounting. If you need commercial-grade rigid signage board for a printed display application, foam board is a lighter and more cost-effective alternative for most school and education uses.

Poster Board & Foam Mounting Board for Irish Schools

Foam board is also widely referred to as "poster board" or "foam mounting board" in Irish schools, particularly when used as a backing for printed or hand-drawn posters and project displays. The 5mm thickness across all boards stocked here provides enough rigidity to hold a mounted display flat without warping, while remaining light enough for students to carry and transport between school and home. Packs of 10 make it straightforward for class teachers and art departments to stock up at the start of a term or in advance of a school project season.
