Best Cornhole Board Decal Wraps

Best Cornhole Board Decal Wraps

I’ve been receiving a lot of questions on board wraps and which ones I recommend.

So, here are some of the wraps that I consider to be the best.

What makes them the best?“, you might ask. Well, in my opinion, the best cornhole wraps have the following characteristics:

  1. Awesome design – I want my boards to stand out from the crowd. (This can be a challenge if you want to have your favorite team on your boards…but not impossible.)
  2. Quality – I want something that is going to last more than one season.
  3. Price – Vinyl cornhole wraps should be under $50

In case you don’t know what board wraps are (also called “skins’), they are UV protected vinyl designed to cover the surface of an official cornhole board (2’x4′). They are often used in place of painting the boards as they provide an easy installation (much easier than painting a custom design).

Board wraps also provide an extremely consistent surface for game play.
Don’t be intimidated by cornhole board wraps. They look tough…but they ain’t so tough!

Cornhole board wraps are easy to apply. (For a longer life, you’ll want to make sure you start with a clean surface – Check out my guide on painting your boards for tips on preparing your board for a vinyl wrap or paint) and at most require a razor blade to trim off and excess vinyl around the edges.

Board wraps not only beautify your boards, but they add lasing protection to the wood! And who doesn’t want their wood to last a long time?!?!

At this point I have hopefully sold you on the idea of adding wraps to you old and tired cornhole board. So let’s take a look at my top picks.

Football Field

Football is one of my favorite sports to watch. And even though my home state of Oregon doesn’t have an NFL, we are close enough to Seattle to call the Seahawks our team. (I think our next set of boards will have the Oregon State Beavers on one board, the Oregon Ducks on the other.)

Anyway, I really like the Football Field wrap because you can easily customize to your favorite NFL or college team. Heck, if you are Canadian, I guess you could even customize as your favorite CFL team.

This set includes two board wraps with about 1/2 inch overlap for easy placement on the boards. To make my boards custom, I add my own Seattle Seahawks vinyl decals.

Distressed American Flag

There is just something really cool about a distressed American flag. I don’t know what it is…but it feels American!

These vinyl board wraps are a lot less work than trying to paint an American flag…trust me I have tried. It ends up being a lot more work and unless you seal everything with a clear coat, you’ll have to touch up the paint every year.

If you want to take these wraps to the next level, I recommend a set of hole lights. White works well, but blue and red give it them special something!

Coming in a close second, is the same theme and a deer skull. As a deer hunter, I like the look of this one.  Plus the deer skull and antlers provide a visual queue to align your shots!

The Silver Bullet

Cornhole and beer go together like Chips and Dip right? So it only seems fitting that I include a beer themed wrap!

At our place we drink Coors Light. (Living in Oregon, we have access to some amazing micro brews…but they are expensive…so the frugal drink of choice is Coors Light)

If you are not a Coors drinker, the odds are you have an all American favorite. Well my friend, they make a wrap for you too!

 

 

Coca-Cola Themed

This one is a conversation starter! From a distance, you would think it is a classic Coca-Cola vending machine. When you get closer, you see it’s actually a “Corn-Hole” vending machine.

If you are a fan of vintage Coca-Cola, you’ll love this cornhole board wrap. Add some white and red bags and you’ll have a unique cornhole set that everyone will be talking about.

Don’t Forget Your Bags!

You’ve spent the time and money to create the perfect customized cornhole boards…and you’re going to use the same old bags?

I don’t think so!

Head on over to the Official Cornhole Bags – Buyers Guide and pick out some quality bags that match the colors of your boards.

Application Instructions

Applying your new cornhole wrap is not a difficult process. HOWEVER – if you get the wrap stuck on itself or improperly aligned on the board, it may be a lost cause.

For this reason, I highly recommend you plan and prep everything first. It also helps to have another set of hands…so get a buddy or your spouse to help you out with this.

  1. Start out by cleaning the surface of any dust or debris. You shouldn’t need anything more than some water and a towel. Be sure that the boards are dry before moving onto the next step.
  2. Place one of the decals on a flat surface (you’ll need at least 3’x5′ working area) face down and peel off paper backing. This is the part where you have to be extra careful!!! You do not want the wrap to be allowed to stick to itself.
  3. Now, you and your helper need to pull slightly tight, and lightly stick the four corners of the decal in the desired location.
  4. With a padded credit card or drivers license (you can wrap the card in a thin cotton shirt), squeegee the wrap decal by pressing down, working from the middle out.
  5. You’ll want to try to avoid bubbles and/or creases. If you encounter a bubble, you can make a thin slice using a razor blade, and then squeegee back over the bubble to flatten it out.
  6. Trim the center hole material out along the edge of the wood with a razor or hobby knife
  7. If you are working in a cold environment (65F or cooler), you may want to heat the decal after application with a heat gun or hair dryer. This will help with the application process and result in a smoother finish.
  8. You did it! Now is the time to get those new boards out and show them off to your friends, family and anyone who will listen.

  1. This is really cool. I absolutely love this game. Me and my brothers use to play this all the time growing up.
    I haven’t played in years but my family is having a family reunion and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t bring one of these babies out.
    i still have my board but it doesn’t a cool wrap like the ones you listed. I really like the football one since that is my favorite sport. I am definitely going to check into that one. Great article, very helpful.

    1. Hey there Garrett,

      Happy to hear that this article helped you out.

      Cornhole is a really fun game…one of the best parts is that it can be played by just about anyone.  And some of the newcomers are often the best players.

      You definitely need to dig out your boards, dust them off, and consider an upgrade using board wraps.  The whole process of installing them takes less than 30 minutes.  And then you’ll have boards that look like new and will last for many years to come. (In fact, most of the vinyl wraps are designed to last over 7 years!).

      Another fun thing for family reunions…especially if there will be smaller kids…a tabletop cornhole set!  For less than $25 the little kids can play (and not get in the way of the adults).

      Hope you have a great family reunion and summer!

      All the best,

      Michael

  2. Hey There!

    Sweet article! My favorite is probably the Bud Light wrap, mainly because my Grandfather was a huge BL guy; never drank anything else.

    I appreciate the application instructions you offer at the conclusion of the article. I like that you mention grabbing a second set of hands to help, as I think I would definitely wind up with a decal of that size stuck to itself before I was able to successfully apply it to the cornhole board!

    Overall, super organized and detailed piece. Thanks!

    1. Tucker,

      Thanks for the compliment on the article. 

      Growing up, my grandpa always drank Pabst Blue Ribbon.  So tempted to get a set of new boards as a gift for my dad, in memory of grandpa.

      That is one thing I really enjoy about cornhole.  Unlike most other back yard game, cornhole gives you two large blank canvases to work with.  You can create memorials, gags, his/hers, etc…unlimited possibilities!

      If you are a beer drinking (and really, who isn’t) you can go with the generic glass of beer, and then add all your favorite beer logos (my personal favorite, Boneyard).

      If the decal wrap gets stuck on itself…all I can say is…good luck.  You most likely will NOT be able to separate the parts that came into contact with each other.  Your best option is cut the portion out and attempt to salvage what is remaining.  So yeah…get that extra set of hands.  You’ll thank yourself!

      Thanks again for stopping by.  Hope you get a chance to get outside, enjoy some adult beverages, and play some cornhole!

  3. My brother is a huge football fan and he loves drinking coca cola. I think he drinks it everyday.
    I actually think of getting the Coca-Cola Themed one as a present. I really don’t know anything about this stuff but I think that I can’t go wrong with this as a present, right?

    1. If your brother loves football and Coca-Cola, I think the Coca-Cola inspired cornhole decal wrap is a perfect gift.  You could also go with the football wrap and add officially licensed Coca-Cola decals.

      A few things to consider before purchasing these cornhole board wraps as a gift.

      – Ensure that the your brother’s boards are regulation size (2’x4′)

      – This is a themed Coca-Cola wrap, not an official Coca-Cola wrap.  It has the colors and fonts of Coca-Cola, but the text on the wrap is all about cornhole.

      – Make sure your brother knows that if he opens and attempts to apply the wrap, he won’t be able to return them.  He should make sure he likes the design before any unpacking.

      I hope that helps! I know I would like to get a sweet cornhole decal set like these as a present.  Happy Birthday to your brother!

  4. Very Interesting! I absolutely love playing cornhole, especially now that it’s summer and I’ll be having bbq’s in my yard. cornhole isn’t often though as something you can customize and make so personal, but it totally is! I would love those beer decals. Mmmmm. I’m really eyeing that PBR one! Would look sweet. Perfect for a summer party out back.

    1. Hey there Koda.

      Summer is here, and we are all excited to get outside…BBQ and cornhole!

      I’m really a fan of the beer can decals.  They look amazing with lots of detail…and they get people’s attention.  You don’t often see a 4 foot tall PBR can!

      And yeah, cornhole boards are highly customizable.  To me they are a blank canvas, just waiting for your creativity.  And you don’t have to stop with justing painting and decals.  There is a wide variety of lighting and scoring options you can add as well.

      Would love to see picts of your boards if you want to share.

      Enjoy your backyard my friend…summer is here!

  5. Great read today on cornhole wraps. I have never heard of the game, so of course, I had to click around your site to find out more. The game itself is a pretty simple play and I would say a splash from the traditional computer and sports games that we see. This makes sure to help keep people of all ages active, entertained, and socializing again. Thank you very much.

    1. I’m always happy when I can turn someone on to the game of cornhole!  Glad you found us and learned some about the game.

      Summer is here, so now is the time to pickup a set and start playing this summer with your friends and family.

      If you don’t want to spend a lot, but want to try out the game, you can’t go wrong with a Baggo Set.  Then if you find you really like the game, upgrade to a real cornhole set.

      Thanks for stopping by The Cornhole!  Have a great summer my friend!

  6. These Cornhole wraps are really cool! I also love the design of the website! Cornhole is a fun game and it is as if it has replaced the game of horseshoes in the fact that they are similar. This game is way less violent as you don’t have to worry about getting your neck “rung.”

    1. Thanks for the compliments Justin.

      There really are a TON of cool cornhole board wrap designs out there.

      And you know what? If you don’t find a design you like, there are multiple companies that will print your own design or help you come up with a custom design. If you’d like more info on that let me know. Maybe I will do a post on creating your own custom vinyl decal wraps!

      So true about horseshoes! Seems like every time we would play someone would get “shinned” or have to move their head to avoid a knock out blow!

      Hope you get a chance to play some cornhole this summer. Have fun out there!
