Documounts sells custom cut adhesive mounting board that is expertly cut to nearly any size that you need.  We offer adhesive mounting board in two thicknesses: 1/16” thick mounting board and 3/16” thick foam core.  These pH neutral adhesive mounting boards are not archival, so they should only be used for mounting inexpensive prints, photos and posters.  If you want to mat original artwork, then you should use archival mounting board and not adhesive mounting board.

How do you know if adhesive mounting board is a good mounting solution for your needs? Adhesive mounting board has its pros and cons.  The convenient thing about mounting your artwork with adhesive mounting board is that you won’t need to buy any adhesives.  The tricky thing about mounting your artwork with adhesive mounting board is that if it’s not done correctly, there might be trapped air bubbles underneath the artwork, resulting in a warped appearance.  Also, since adhesive mounting board is a permanent mounting option, it will be very difficult to remove the artwork from the mounting board without damaging the artwork.  For this reason, you should only use adhesive mounting board if you are certain that you’ll never want to remove it from the adhesive mounting board.

If you need to buy a lot of adhesive mounting board, you will enjoy the bulk savings that you’ll receive when you buy just 4 or more of the same size adhesive mounting board from Documounts.  When you buy more than 4, the discount gets even bigger!  The more you buy, the more you save.  The discount on adhesive mounting board increases at each of the following amounts: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.

If you need mats, frames, glazing, or framing supplies, you’ll also find a wide selection of these at Documounts!

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.
