We also offer a variety of mounting adhesives including pressure sensitive and heat activated options to meet almost any demand. Choose from either plain foam board or plain gator board options.

Self-Adhesive Foam Boards: With self adhesive mounting boards you can create displays quickly and easily, without the need for heat or any required special equipment. Optional mounting machines for cold / pressure sensitive boards are available, and are recommended when working with extra large boards and prints. Otherwise, professional mounting can be accomplished with just one of these self-stick mounting boards, a print of your choice, and a brayer hand roller. It is so simple to mount prints to foam boards with these adhesive foam boards. Just peel pack a corner of the liner, center your print on the board and press it onto the exposed adhesive.
