Sawtooth Foam Hanger

About the product
Sawtooth foam hangers are quick hanging solutions with two sharp claws that puncture into the back of foam board. A serrated opening makes it easy to hold onto wall nails or screws. Foam board metal hangers are designed to hang posters or similar items mounted on foam board (foam core board) or other lightweight backing board but are not framed.

Instructions
-
Lay the foam board face down on a clean, hard surface. Note: Do not use foam board metal hangers on boards less than 3/16" thick or the hanger prongs will penetrate through to the front surface, nor on hard-faced foam board such as Gatorboard/Gatorfoam which the hanger prongs cannot penetrate.
-
Position the metal sawtooth hanger’s prongs to point toward the top edge of the back of the foam board.
-
Push the hanger down slightly and forward simultaneously until the prongs puncture the foam board core.
-
If using two sawtooth foam hangers, place each on its own nail or screw to keep foamboard-mounted art level when hung.
-
To remove a metal sawtooth foam hanger, pull it out in the opposite direction.

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.
