Documounts sells three different types of mounting boards: archival, standard, and adhesive.  You can order custom cut mounting boards from Documounts in nearly any size that you need.

Archival mounting boards are ideal when you are mounting original, one-of-a-kind works of art on paper or limited edition reproductions (such as photographs or giclees).  Our archival mounting boards include Bainbridge Artcare foam core, available in thicknesses of 1/8” and 3/16”, as well as Bainbridge Alphamount Artcare 4 ply mounting boards, made from 100% alpha cellulose.

Standard mounting boards are non-archival.  They are available as both foam core and chip board.  The foam core boards are available in thicknesses of 1/8” and 3/16”.  The chip boards that we carry are the 2UB and 4UB Bainbridge mounting boards, which are 1/16” thick and 3/32” thick, respectively.  These mounting boards are ideal for mounting open edition reproductions that will be framed inside moulding that has a thin profile.

Adhesive mounting boards are also not archival.  They are best used for mounting inexpensive posters, prints and photographs.  Adhesive mounting boards are available as 1/16” thick mounting boards and 3/16” foam core.  One side of the adhesive mounting boards is coating with a sticky adhesive, so all you need to do is peel off the protective paper and then stick your artwork directly onto the sticky side of the mounting board.

When you buy a lot of custom cut mounting boards that are the same size and cut from the same board, then you will quality for a volume discount.  The volume discount on mounting boards kicks in when you buy just 4 of the same mounting boards.  The discount on mounting boards gets even bigger at each of the following amounts: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.  The more you buy, the more you save!

Documounts also sells the adhesives that you’ll need to mount your artwork onto the mounting boards.  Our selection of adhesives includes conservation paper tape, spray adhesive, linen mounting tape, mounting corners, and several others.  In addition to mounting boards and mounting supplies, we also sell mat boards, frames, glazing, and all of the other supplies that you’ll need to mat, mount and frame your artwork!

Archival foam core is the ideal mounting option for protecting and preserving important or valuable works of art.  You should use archival foam core if you need to mount any of the following:

• original, one-of-a-kind works of art on paper
• limited edition reproductions, such as giclees or photographs
• signed and numbered hand-pulled prints, such as etchings
• any kind of important paper memorabilia that you want to last for future generations, such as newspaper clippings or certificates

Archival foam core is the museum-quality choice for mounting these types of artworks.  Archival foam core is made with MicroChamber technology that will protect your artwork against chemical damage and environmental pollutants.

Documounts sells Bainbridge archival foam core in two different thicknesses: 1/8” and 3/16”.  The thicker archival foam core is ideal for mounting larger works of art that need more support.  Both thicknesses of foam core are lightweight, yet sturdy.  They will not break or bend.  Both thicknesses of archival foam core are available for the same price!

The 1/8” archival foam core is available in white.  The 3/16” archival foam core is available in both white and black.  Black archival foam core is an excellent option when displaying newspaper clippings, because the print on the reverse side will not show through as much as it would if you mounted the newspaper clipping on white foam core.  Black archival foam core is also a good choice when using a black core mat.

If you need to buy a lot of archival foam core to prepare your artwork for an upcoming art show, then you will enjoy the volume discount you’ll receive when you buy a large quantity of archival foam core from Documounts!  The bulk discount begins when you buy just 4 or more of the same size archival foam core.  The pricing gets lower at the following increments: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.  This is perfect for artists who sell a lot of artwork at art festivals and art galleries!

In addition to archival foam core, Documounts also sells mats, frames, glazing, and various other supplies that you will need to mat, mount and frame your artwork.
