Gatorboard can be hung on a wall using screws, nails, or an effective adhesive. Use rope, string, or bungee cords to hang gatorboard from a ceiling. If you wish to have holes drilled into your sign, make sure to select the ‘drilled holes’ option before completing your purchase. Create 3D displays by using multiple gatorboard pieces as the building blocks.

Gatorboard signs are intended for indoor use only. Avoid placing gatorboard in areas where it will be exposed to increased amounts of moisture and refrain from using any liquid or cleaning solution to remove dirt from the sign. When handling, make sure not to excessively bend the board, this will cause a permanent crease in the material or possible tearing of the board. Edges can be easily dented, so take care when transporting and displaying gatorboard.

Product Specs
Are gatorboard and gatorfoam the same product?
What is gatorboard made out of?
What is the difference between gatorboard, foam board and falconboard?
While all three are lightweight and cost effective for display purposes, it’s important to know that each product differs in construction and quality. Our foam board signs are one of the most common boards used for displaying and are made from a solid foam core and paper faces, measuring at .1945” thick. Unlike gatorboard, the foam core is not a dense and rigid polystyrene but is a lightweight foam. This foam is weaker and is more prone to bend, snap, or wrinkle if too much pressure is applied. Usually foam board is reserved for art and craft projects, presentations, and temporary display purposes. Assuming proper use, it is an affordable and effective signage solution.
Falconboard is constructed of a thick honeycomb center between paper faces. This product can be described as a very rigid 3-D cardboard. The resulting sign is .5” thick. Falconboard is a complete paper product without any foam. This board is generally used for storefront displays, ‘cardboard cutouts’ and 3-D lettering. It is the most rigid of the three products we are comparing here.
Gatorboard can be considered an upgrade to normal foam board because of its higher quality polystyrene foam core. It also measures at .1945” thick. This core gives added durability and prevents the board from bending or breaking as easily as foam board might. Both are excellent products but we would recommend gatorboard with its added durability for any extended use.
