Here are the most frequently asked questions you and your foamies might be wondering regarding our foam party decor.

What are the customization limits at Foam Party Decor?

The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating your foam party project.* You dream it, we design it. As of right now, we haven’t told anyone no. We’ll work with you to come up with something attainable and awe-worthy. We give you props if you come up with a project we can’t do. Not literally. Sorry, we can’t give away free props.

*Please note: If you want giant, 20-foot Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-type decor, that surpasses our sky limit.

What are your finishing options?

Once your foam decor piece is completed, the surface area can be finished in any number of styles and textures—let us know what look and feel you want and we’ll make it happen.

Some examples include:

  • Adhesive vinyl
  • Fabric
  • Paint
  • Flocking
What types of foam and materials are used?

Per the Foam Party Decor namesake, we primarily use foam. No surprise there. But we offer so much more than that, too. Our materials also include: 

  • Plastic
  • Fabric
  • Vinyl
  • Canvas
  • Paint
  • Cardboard
  • Wood

Keep in mind that the type of fabric we have on hand changes and depends on what our supplier has in stock, so be sure to ask us for specifics.

As for the foam itself, we primarily use Polyethylene (PE) foam because it’s low cost, resilient to chemicals and water, and industrially recyclable

What is the turnaround time for foam decor projects?

Generally, projects have a turnaround time of about two weeks. However, keep in mind that bigger projects and more details might require more time. Patience you must have, my young Padawan. We will provide an estimate along with your quote.

Do you offer shipping for foam decor? Is there rush order pricing?

Right now, we strongly recommend local pickups at our Rogers, MN location since we don’t offer free shipping and it can get spendy for larger decor pieces. However, we are able to accommodate shipping at an additional cost.

If you’re interested in rush order production, please add your time restraints to your quote request. There may be a fee for rush orders, but it depends on the complexity of the design and the number of items needed.

Is there an order minimum?

No, we have no order minimums.

Are foam decorations made to order or taken from inventory?

At Foam Party Decor, all our products are custom-made to match your event needs. Since each product is 100% unique and created for a one-of-a-kind party, we don’t have a stock inventory to choose from.

How do you package foam decor products to keep them from breaking?

Our packaging process is to simply insert your foam project back into the foam cutout from which it was made. The perfect fit keeps your decor in pristine condition when you pick it up.

How easy is the setup for foam decor projects? Is hardware included?

Some foam projects are as easy as plopping them on the ground while others are more complex and require some setup. For example, if you order a foam project without paint, the setup is going to take longer to do that yourself. Our representatives are happy to answer your questions regarding your particular project.

If you’d like to add hardware to your order, please specify in your quote what you need and we’ll let you know if it’s available.

What tools are used for machining the foam projects?

We are so glad you asked. This is one of our favorite parts of the whole process. Do you know those super cool 3D pens that can make anything? We have that, kind of, but it’s BIGGER and better. Foam Party Decor uses robotic lasers and other tools to complete our machining, including:

  • 5-Axis Water Jets
  • Flash cutters
  • Die cutters
  • Vertical and horizontal contour cutters
  • CNC router
  • Hot Plate Laminators
  • Roll Skivers
  • PSA Laminators
  • Convoluters 

Fans of seeing how it’s made: watch our plant tour below, and/or request a personal tour when you come to pick up your decor.
