What the AI looks for in Poster Boards
- Stiffness
- Pick heavier, thicker board for posters that must hang flat or be carried around. Thin board curls and creases easily.
- Coated vs uncoated
- Coated or glossy faces for markers and a vivid look. Uncoated for paint, glue and pencil. Paint and glue bead up on coated faces, and markers bleed on uncoated board.
- Poster board vs foam board
- Use poster board for flat, lightweight posters and foam board for rigid displays. Buyers often expect poster board to stay rigid on an easel, and it won't.
Brands that matter
- Pacon: Major school paper maker; UCreate line.
- Royal Brites: Bright-color school poster boards.
What to avoid
- Shipped poster board packs that aren't flat-packed with rigid protection, since bent corners are common
