[PrintOwners] Signage/Posters

[Steve Blatman]

If you've ever seen foamcore used to make architectural models, it's 
done the other way. You cut part-way through from the back, so the 
face sheet is continuous on the outside of the fold. That way, 
there's no gap. It's better if you have a cutter that takes out a 
triangular section along the cut, so the mitered edges fit after the 
fold. Then, you'll usually see the model-maker run a light bead of 
hot-melt glue down the gap, fold the foam-core, and hold it for a few 
seconds for the glue to set.

If I had to set up what you're suggesting, I'd probably set it up so 
that it could be stored flat, and folded/taped into the triangle when 
needed for the display. I'd consider using coreplast as the 
substrate, because it would almost certainly hold up better than foam-
core.

YMMV,
Steve
