MDF

However, because it is by nature quite heavy, it is limited to production of 3D Lettering.

Foamboard

Foamboard is made from a sheet of CFC free polystyrene sandwiched between two sheets of acid free paper to form a strong, lightweight and rigid board. Used for temporary signage such as posters displays and in exhibitions. It is light and can be easily cut with a knife and so is often used as attractive cut out graphics for pavement signs.
