Instructions
-
Mark the position of the hanger on the foam board. Once pressed in place, plastic foamboard hangers cannot be repositioned or removed without damaging the substrate.
-
Wipe the surface of the foam board clean. The surface of what you’re hanging should be clean, dry, and free from grease/oil.
-
Peel off the adhesive release paper on the economy hanger, then stick the hanger to the back of the foam board.
-
Press the hanger firmly onto the foam board and rub it down evenly using a hard and smooth object a few times.
-
Wait at least 24 hours before hanging to allow the adhesive to strengthen. Then, bend the upper portion of the hanger back slightly to hang.
-
Hang the foam board on picture hooks, nails, or screws. Note: Do not use wire in combination with foamboard plastic hangers. Picture wire can slice through the plastic over time. In addition, economy hangers are for indoor use only. Extreme cold or heat may cause the adhesive to fail.
-
When removing a plastic hanger, take care not to tear away any more substrate material than necessary. Do not attempt to reuse after removal as economy plastic hangers are intended for one-time use only.

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.

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.
