Encore Products announces new Cork Foam Board for printing patterns directly via digital wide format print. Print patterns to create designer cork foam
boards, team logos for wall decor, or monograms to create personalized decorations. The product cuts easily by hand and machine. It features a 3/8"
thickness so push pins won't damage walls.
Extreme White Foam Board™ combines a resilient polystyrene core with ultra-vibrant bright white paper facers to create a premium imaging surface for
digital printing, exhibits, painting, screen printing, signage and more. Its bright white surface is whiter than traditional clay-coated foam boards and the
whiteness enhances the maximum color gamut and black density of printed images.
Available in 1/8", 3/16" and 1/2" thicknesses, Extreme White Foam Board™ is well-suited for hand cutting, diecutting, embossing, scoring and machine
cutting making it ideal for display manufacturers who demand ease of fabrication with superior image quality.
Extreme White Foam Board™ is lightweight and comes in a wide range of sheet sizes. Custom sheet sizes for volume orders are available on request.
MightyBull™ combines the dense polystyrene core MightyCore® is known for, with bright-white polystyrene facers to create an ultra-durable, all plastic
board.
Available in 3/16” and 1/2" thicknesses, MightyBull's superior printing performance is outstanding due to excellent ink-holdout, rapid drying and
consistent surface texture. Long term durability and stability are byproducts of the pH-neutral, litho-grade, corona treated facers which boast a
superior bond and chip resistant edges.
Durability, versatility and long-life are MightyBull's value points. The product is intended for digital printers, screen printers, exhibit manufacturers, POP
displays, signage and other implementations that demand long-term use, ease of fabrication, exposure to modest environmental changes (temperature,
humidity and light) and more.
Custom colors and sheet sizes are available on request.
ENCORE, a product leader in the foam board market announces their new high-performance repositionable, pressure sensitive board
—Premium Tac.
This peel-and-stick, pH-neutral foam board has superior tacky-ness that lasts longer than traditional rubber-based adhesives making it more
versatile for repositioning and adjustment when mounting work. Work remains adhered to the surface until ready for removal. The kraft colored
release liner is silicone treated and moisture resistant, which helps eliminate tunneling in varying climate conditions.
Premium Tac foam board is ideal for mounting posters, photographs, inexpensive prints (including gloss paper), laminated materials and general
art and craft projects. Once positioned, application of firm pressure to the mounted artwork will secure the bond. Premium Tac is also well-suited
for cold-mounting applications, can be easily cut by hand or machine and scores well.
Premium Tac is currently available in 3/16" white with a kraft colored peel-n-stick liner. It comes in four sheet sizes (inches): 20 x 30, 24 x 36, 32 x 40 and
40 x 60. Encore does not recommend Premium Tac for high-value artwork, limited edition prints or items that might need to be removed at a later
date.
EnCore Up-Sizes Their ½" White Foam Board Collection
EnCore®, known throughout the graphics display industry for quality products that fulfill production needs, announces two new additions to their
line-up of 1/2” white foam board standard sheet sizes: 60” x 96” and 60” x 120”.
“We’ve had multiple requests for these sizes and decided to provide the marketplace with a larger substrate. EnCore continues to manufacture a
consistent ½” thickness and the addition of these two new stocking sizes will allow users to be more economical,” stated Candace Martin, Jr.
Product Manager, EnCore® Products, a division of Elmer’s Products, Inc.
These ½” white clay-coated foam boards can be used for exhibits, picture framing, litho mounting, painting, air brushing, POP displays, screen printing,
signs, vinyl lettering, and models. They are constructed to maintain their structural strength with a resilient polystyrene “memory” core that bounces
back once cut.
Elmer's To Rebrand Its Commercial Foam Board Substrates Under the
ENCORE™ Brand Name
Elmer's is renaming its full range of commercial foam board products under the brand name ENCORE™. The rebranding
was necessitated by the sale of the Bienfang® fine art paper line which included the trade name.
“With our recent sale of the Bienfang fine art paper line came the need to rename the commercial foam board
product range of the same name” explained Candace Overcash, Jr. Product Manager at Elmer's. "The brand
name ENCORE™ is part of an overall effort to strengthen Elmer's position as a leading supplier of high quality
substrates to the sign, display, and picture framing markets. Our product team was instantly intrigued by the name
ENCORE™ for its literal connection to our products as well as the idea of retaking the stage to wow the audience.”
ENCORE has already debuted at ISA. Elmer's will begin using the new ENCORE™ brand name immediately for all
commercial foam board products previously marketed under the Bienfang® brand including MightyCore®,
PilloCore®, MightyPrint™ Expressions, SingleStep®, and Black-on-Black® among others.
The new brand identity is vibrant red with a complementing warm grey. Brand guidelines and specifications are
available on request.
ENCORE Products will continue the heritage of quality established by the Bienfang brand. Manufacturing will
continue unchanged at Elmer’s Statesville, North Carolina facility. Constance Henshaw continues as the Vice
President of ENCORE™ Products, Roger Lahman of Lahman Associates, LLC as the Western US Territory
Manager, Otto Witzleb of Witzleb Associates, LLC as the Northeastern US Territory Manager, Susan Snow,
CPF of Sue Snow & Associates as the Canadian & North Central US Territory Manager, Kerry Bone of KBA
as the Southeastern US Territory Manager and Joaquim Pires of McKim Group as the International Sales
Manager. Debbie Hager and Billy Steele continue to assist with all Customer Service needs.
Product numbers associated with specific products will not change.
NEW MightyPrint-Glossy joins the Bienfang family of MightyCore
Foam Boards.
Bienfang, a trusted brand in the graphics display market, announces the newest addition to their respected
MightyCore family of foam boards MightyPrint™ -Glossy, structured specifically for the digital flatbed printer market.
MightyCore foam board, already noted for its superior strength and versatility, has now been enhanced with
white glossy paper, front and back, to allow for direct digital printing on one or both sides.
"It's the first of its kind," stated Constance Henshaw, Vice President Bienfang Products who described
MightyPrint-Glossy as a breakthrough in foam board design. Henshaw continued to note that, "the unique
properties of MightyPrint™ -Glossy will enable businesses to expand production capabilities by eliminating the
time-consuming steps of either applying a liquid laminate to the printed board, or printing on high gloss paper
and mounting to a board."
No other board available today has the rigidity, warp-resistance and dual-sided glossy paper layers required for
more uniform and economical printing on aisle signs, point-of-purchase displays, kiosks and exhibits.
