Overview: Adhering a print to a stiff back board

What is Mounting?

A great print piece deserves to be on display. Mounting a print piece is simply the process of gluing a print to a rigid, lightweight material, such as a foam core or mat board. The very reason for using a stiff and light board is what makes mounting a great option for business presentation materials or hanging photographs. Mounting boards come in a few styles and varieties but are usually ¼ inch thick, giving it that “floating off the wall” look. Mounted prints are easy to hang and can be framed for a more professional feel to avoid wrinkles and bends.

At Phillips, we can mount your printed sheet to an SBS (solid bleached sulfate), corrugated, foam core, and chipboard to create counter cards, boxes, posters, and display pieces with easels.
