Documounts Offers Many Board Backing Options
Artists across the country rely on Documounts for top quality framing and display supplies. Our reputation for having the best selection, service and price is what brings artists back for all of their framing and mounting needs. When mounting artwork, we offer a range of board backing options for you to consider.
One of our best selling board backing options is 2UB board. 2UB board backing is also commonly known as x-board or chipboard. This type of board backing is our least expensive option. The thickness of 2UB board backing is similar to that of a photo mat. It comes with a white surface over a smooth gray core. 2UB board backing is ideal for thin profile framing.
Another popular option for board backing is 4UB board. 4UB board backing is slightly thicker and stiffer than 2UB board. For artists who require board backing with a bit of stiffness, this is the best option. Not quite as thick as foam core, 4UB board backing is the perfect middle ground between foam core and 2UB board. It is important to note that neither the 2UB nor 4UB board backing is archival quality.
At Documounts, we also carry a wide selection of foam core for your mounting needs. We offer foam core board backing in 1/8” and 3/16” thickness. This type of board backing comes in archival or standard white or archival black finish. Choosing foam core allows you the option to chose archival quality board backing, as well as self-adhesive surfaces for mounting.
If you plan on attending art fairs or festivals, consider our prepackaged display options. We offer several options that include pre-cut mats, board backing and bags for the display and protection of your artwork. Sold in quantities of 25 or 50, these kits offer options in the size and style of mat, and board backing for you to choose from.
