The Fun and Fanfare of Big Head Cutouts

Imagine yourself at the big game.

You’re sitting with your friends, maybe some family, and fellow fans cheering all around you. In your hands is the face of your favorite player, but it’s way larger than life. In fact, it’s almost five feet tall and just as wide. Your favorite player looks up from the field, sees their giant face in your hands, then gives you a thumbs up. They think it’s fantastic you have a big head cutout of their face. It might even inspire them to play better, as the fans of the Dallas Cowboys can attest to.

Big face Prints for any event!

All in all, you can support the person you’re there to watch play. Or graduate from high school or college. Or you’re at a special event to support someone. Whatever you’re there for, think about the fun and fanfare of a big head cutout. They say more than words can communicate and make people smile all at once. There’s nothing quite as ridiculous as a giant head floating above a crowd, is there?

Custom head cutouts are an up-and-coming option for signage. Having a giant version of someone's face is always entertaining and shows support in a different way from traditional signs

You will sometimes find them at protests, denouncing or supporting someone. Sometimes people use the cutouts for popular memes, bringing big laughs to an event or even as photobooth props.

Imagine Steph Curry's Smiling Face on a Giant Cutout

If you’ve never seen one before, then you can take a bobblehead figure as an example. A giant head cutout is just a two-dimensional and enormous version of the individual but displays only their head. The person’s face is printed directly onto the material, giving a comedic appearance. Imagine Steph Curry's face made flat, and you’ve got a great image of a big head sign. The cutout isn’t squared either. It’s cut precisely to the edges of the image. Their appearance and look make them eye-catching and memorable at every event.

What are Giant Head Cutouts Made Of?

Depending on where you buy a custom head cutout, you will receive one made from different materials. As you will be carrying the head around, it’s easier for it to be light and not too large. Otherwise, you will find it difficult to hold and transport it to and from events. In the same instance, you don’t want to buy a sign that won’t last through even one event. It needs to be durable enough to wave and hold, but not necessarily made of the sturdiest materials.

Cardboard is a low-cost option. Cardboard face cutouts are light and strong, allowing you to print your friend’s, family member’s, or favorite player’s face and cheer them on. If you’re looking to use the head cutout only once, cardboard may be a good choice for you. Keep in mind that a cardboard face cutout may not do well with rain or heavy winds. They can be prone to bending and deteriorating in the wrong conditions.

Foam vs Cardboard vs Gator Board Head Cutouts

Almost as affordable as cardboard is foam core board. Foam core giant head cutouts are light and eye-catching, due to their hollow foam design and semi-gloss finish. Colors pop and the board is highly durable. You won’t have to worry about the rain ruining the big head cutout, and you can trust it will last through multiple uses. What is foam core board?

For a material that’s sturdier still, consider gatorboard. Custom head cutouts made from gatorboard are long-lasting due to the dense foam core and multiple layers of polystyrene. It takes a lot to damage these boards. You won’t find scratches or bent sides if the cutout is dropped, and the images are highly resilient. UV-rays and weather won’t make the colors fade or reduce the appearance of your chosen printed face. As far as selecting a material goes, gatorboard is one of your the top-quality options. 

Besides the durability of the materials, the quality of a custom head cutout also rests on the printing technology. You should select a manufacturer that offers high-resolution printing which eliminates the problems of blurriness or dull inks.

Choosing between Cardboard Face Cutouts and the Other Materials

The factors involving your choice of cardboard face cutouts, or other materials, comes down to cost and frequency of use. Do you consistently attend football, baseball, or other events where your favorite player competes? Is your child or friend going to graduate multiple times, or are there other special events where you can bring out the giant head cutout with their face on it?

Depending on your answer, you should select the material that makes the most sense. Cardboard face cutouts are suitable for single use, while gatorboard head cutouts may last a lifetime. If you’re a fan of a professional sports player, you can continue to use the sign no matter who they play for. When using a custom head cutout to celebrate those close to you, you can always save it for unique occasions.
