Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of white board was used in this material folding tutorial.

and where one could find it.

Thanks Bunches

It looks to me as if those are foam core boards -- very light and widely available in places like Walmart, Target, etc. They would likely be in the school products area where posterboard and paper are sold. The boards are about a quarter-inch thick with white paper on both sides. They also come in black.

Just be aware that the paper on these would not be acid-free (archival quality). If using them to store fabric, you might want to coat them with polyurethane.

Looks like coroplast or foam core....most craft/hobby stores have it...some home improvement places carry it also.

she says it's sign board, I guess the waxy corrigated stuff that politians use, I'm sure the foam core would work

They look like the coroplast boards. There's a lady on the board that sells them already cut for a reasonable price.

Here's her topic,

I really like the coroplast boards. They're really light weight and they're acid free.
