Different Types of Art Board Mounting Options
The art board mounting that you use to mount your art will come into direct contact with your artwork, so it is very important to choose the right art board mounting for your needs. Documounts carries 3 types of art board mounting: archival, standard and adhesive. If you’re not sure which would be the ideal type of art board mounting for you to use, read through the following descriptions of each of the art board & mounting boards to decide which one is best for you.
Archival art board mounting is the top choice for mounting important and valuable works of art, such as originals or limited edition prints. Archival art board mounting options include Bainbridge archival foam core and Bainbridge Artcare 4 ply mount board.
Standard art board mounting is ideal for mounting open edition prints, posters and photography. This type of art board mounting is not archival. Standard art board mounting is available as foam core and as chip board.
Adhesive art board mounting is also not archival. It is a permanent art board mounting solution, so it should only be used for mounting inexpensive prints, posters, and photographs. You do not need to buy separate adhesives when you buy adhesive mount board.
When you buy art board mounting from Documounts, you can choose nearly any size that you need, and we will expertly cut your art board mounting to fit your specifications. Plus, when you buy 4 or more of the same custom cut art board mounting, you’ll receive a volume discount. The discount gets even bigger when you buy even more. The discount increases at each of the following amounts: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.
For the archival and standard art board mounting, you will also need to purchase an adhesive for mounting your artwork onto the board. Documounts sells many different types of adhesives, such as linen mounting tape, mounting corners, conservation paper tape, and spray adhesive, as well as many others. We also sell mat board, frames, glazing, and all of the framing supplies that you will need to display your artwork!
