Display board is a generic term for a board-shaped material that is rigid and strong enough to stand on its own, and generally used for displaying paper or other materials affixed to it. Types of display board include poster board or posterboard. Several types are available, including A Boards, which are usually used for promotional purposes outdoors, or indoors for business purposes.
[edit] Poster board
Poster board or posterboard is a type of display board used for displaying posters and other flat printed matter. It comes in large sheets, significantly larger than A2; and is often made of foam board. It can be particularly light and flimsy, as it is primarily expected to support sheets of paper, photos, glitter, lettering and other small items that are glued onto it. It can be recycled and used again as something else.
Poster board can be found in many art supply, office supply, and even drug stores and convenience stores. A variety of additional supplies can be used with poster board to enhance its presentation.
Poster board is often used for making event posters, science and other school projects. The use of poster board in school or art projects is sometimes referred to as "posterboarding".
