Gatorboard Signs That Combine Lightweight Build with Heavy Impact
Durable, lightweight, and built for clean, professional displays—Gatorboard signs are a go-to solution for retail environments, presentations, photo mounting, and branded indoor signage.
They offer a smooth finish that holds colour well, along with a rigid core that keeps your graphics looking flat and polished over time. Gatorboard signs are popular for both short-term and semi-permanent use where visuals need to stay sharp and intact.
What is Gatorboard?
Gatorboard is a rigid foam board with a dense polystyrene core and wood-fiber veneer facings. It’s stronger than standard foam board, but still lightweight and easy to work with. The outer surface resists dents and warping, making it a reliable option for mounting high-resolution prints or signage.
Compared to other mounting substrates, Gatorboard stands out for its combination of durability and visual quality.
Gatorboard vs Foam Board
Both Gatorboard and foam board have a similar internal foam core—but the surface material is what sets them apart.
-
Foam board has a paper surface that’s more prone to dents, tears, and warping over time.
-
Gatorboard has a harder, more durable shell that protects against wear, pressure, and moisture exposure.
If you're looking for a clean finish and longer display life, Gatorboard is the better option—especially in high-traffic spaces.
Gatorboard Printing
We use UV-cured inks to print directly onto Gatorboard, producing crisp, high-resolution graphics with accurate colour and strong adhesion. Gatorboard printing works well for everything from photo enlargements to indoor promotional signage.

Double-sided printing and custom cutting are available on request.
Mounting Options
Gatorboard mounting is straightforward. The material’s lightweight structure allows it to be mounted with Velcro, double-sided tape, or standoffs—depending on your display needs. It can also be framed, installed with spacers, or placed on easels for tabletop or floor display.
