The name of the board is foam-core board. Most craft stores - Michaels, A.C.Moore, Hobby Lobby - carries it. And you can get it at places that do framing. It can be pricey. I know around here the regular price is about $3 a 20x30 sheet. So when I find it on sale of $1, I usually buy 30-40 sheets. I use it alot - signs, making boxes, etc. My husband uses it too.

I buy the foam core boards at our Dollar Tree stores. From one sheet I can cut 4 9"x12" pieces for my yardage and 3 5"x 6 1/2" for pieces that measure between a FQ and a yard .I know they are probably not acid free, but I plan on using everthing in sight using this way of storage!

The ones that I mean are plastic on both sides and corragated on the inside. I found one batch of them that a lady had but her husband didn't like the advertising on them and told her to get rid of them. They are what the realtors use and they have metal stands that they put into the ground. They are great to wrap the fabric around and they don't bend. I tried one of the boards from the Dollar Tree and it didn't that the weight of 3 yards of fabric.

That's corrugated plastic sign board. You can usually buy it from the places that make screen-printed signs. The kind that you see at intersections advertising insurance and things. It is also the material that the politicals use for their signs.

You can call sign makers/silk screeners. You can usually pick up their 'mistake' pieces and cancelled orders. I have also gotten them from people who have run for local office and didn't win.

You should be able to buy a full 4 x 8 sheet of corrugated plastic from a plastic supplier. I own a sign shop and get get the sheets for around $8.00. I don't think I would chance using something that has any type of printing on them.
