File formats for artwork suitable for foamcuttingGuidelines for artwork:

We can accommodate you with the following art guidelines:

Our foam cutter has a cutting capacity of 4 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet in one piece. Larger sizes can be accommodated by "paneling" your artwork.

Foam letters:
You may order any typestyle (PC format). For best results you should supply the font on a disk or via e-mail to us as font names vary depending on supplier/creator. If you do not supply the font, please send a hard copy of the letter style so that we may match it as closely as possible.

Our foam letter prices are applicable in most situations (pricelist), however ornamental or cursive (fancy) typestyles may be subject to a surcharge. You will be notified of this when ordering your letters. Custom designs or graphics will be quoted on an individual basis. For accurate quoting, please know the thickness of individual pieces of your design.

Not sure what size letters you need: Follow link to view our letter visibility chart


Foam letters or products can be easily applied to most buildings or walls by means of PL300 construction adhesive or other products. If applying letters to metal clad buildings you may glue the letters to wood strapping and screw the strapping to the siding.

Important! All foam letters should be painted to withstand UV rays. Latex-based paints will work best and will not eat into the foam. Deka or 1-Shot paint may be used but do not apply heat to accelerate the drying time. You Coatings we use in our shop can use any type of oil based paints (for great colors or affects) after you have applied a Latex coat. We can also provide you with an hard coat that can be brushed on. This will make the products very durable.


How to order your products:
We operate on a PC platform, however we can accept MAC files in Adobe *.ai format (ensure that file is saved on a PC formatted disk). Make sure that fonts are converted to "graphics" or “curves” (on the PC or MAC) because with the vast amount of fonts available we do not always have a particular font in stock.

Please note that the quality of your artwork must be very good. As the saying goes "garbage in… garbage out" We can also design the artwork for you. If you have a rough idea of what you want, e-mail or fax us your ideas and we will contact you with costs, suggestions and recommendations
