Art with foamboard backing, such as a foam board print or a foam board poster, is best hung with foamboard hangers. These art hangers provide support for temporary, lightweight installations. Hang small items with wire using the kwik hanger or the sawtooth foam hanger, and choose adhesive picture hangers for quick wire-free applications. To round out this selection are magnetic poster hangers, our no-tear and no-puncture foamboard hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q How do I install foamboard hangers and what tools or hardware do I need?
Installation depends on the type. Adhesive foamboard hangers peel and stick directly to the back of your foam board—no tools needed. Sawtooth foam hangers have prongs that press into the foam backing. Kwik hangers allow wire hanging from foam board. Magnetic poster hangers clamp onto the top and bottom edges of a poster without any puncturing. For more details, check our guide: Everything You Need to Know About Foam Board Hangers.
Q Can I remove foamboard hangers without damaging the artwork?
Magnetic poster hangers cause no damage since they clamp onto the edges without puncturing the material. Adhesive hangers may leave residue if removed. Sawtooth foam hangers create small prong holes in the backing. For damage-free options, magnetic hangers are recommended.
Q How much weight can foamboard hangers safely hold?
Foamboard hangers are designed for lightweight applications. They are best suited for foam board prints, posters, and lightweight signage. Check each product listing for the specific weight rating.
Q What wall types are foamboard hangers compatible with?
Foamboard hangers mount on the artwork itself, so they work with any wall type when paired with an appropriate wall hook or screw. Adhesive hangers can also be used on smooth surfaces for temporary displays without wall hardware.
Q What kinds of art or decor work best with foamboard hangers?
Foamboard hangers are designed for art with foam board backing, foam board prints, foam board posters, lightweight signage, and unframed posters. They are ideal for temporary displays, trade shows, classrooms, and retail environments.
