The versatility of display boards

Display boards offer a variety of uses for both the office and home. Also referred to as visualization boards, presentation boards let you showcase ideas or highlight products and services. They also work well for school projects because they're lightweight enough to transport back and forth from home and to and from science fairs.

Highlighting information on a tri-fold poster board saves desk space, and the unique design stands alone, which makes it easy to set up and take down at events. The blank canvas provides an excellent backdrop for photographs and portfolios, and some boards include a built-in stand for stability. Boards typically lie flat for storage or install inside a poster frame for display. And it’s possible to purchase in bulk to save money.

Basic styles of presentation boards

Presentation boards come in multiple styles to fit requirements. Some mount easily on walls and other flat surfaces to provide a place to affix notices and announcements. Tri-fold display boards provide three different surfaces for creating flowcharts or offering a timeline of goals.

Boards are made in different thicknesses for durability and usage. Thick cardboard is ideal for use with stickers, markers, and paint, while thicker pressboard holds heavier objects. Foam board resists bending, and some can accept thumbtacks to make it possible to attach pictures and papers. Choose from bright colors to draw attention to your information, or opt for standard white poster board and customize it to suit the needs of your project. Thin papers fold easily and roll for storage. It's possible to mail these types of boards in poster tubes to prevent damage.
