Self-stick mount board is a type of mount board that is coated on one side with an adhesive.  To use self-stick mount board, first you peel off the protective paper from the sticky side of the mount board.  Carefully position your artwork on the self-stick mount board, but don’t press down firmly until you are absolutely sure that the artwork is exactly where you want it to be.  The self-stick mount board is repositionable until you press down on your artwork firmly.  You will also want to make sure that you press down smoothly and evenly on the self-stick mount board, to avoid air bubbles.  A burnishing bone, which we sell at Documounts, might also come in handy when using self-stick mount board.

When you use self-stick mount board, you only need to buy the mount, which saves you money on adhesives.  Self-stick mount board is convenient for people who don’t want to fiddle with the usual adhesives that are used with mount board, such as tapes or adhesive sprays.

Self-stick mount board is available as 1/16” thick mounting board and also as 3/16” thick foam core.  The thicker self-stick mount board is ideal for mounting larger works of art, such as posters.

You can buy self-stick mount board from Documounts that is custom cut to nearly any size that you need.  You will save when you buy self-stick mount board in large quantities.  You only need to buy 4 of the same size custom cut self-stick mount board to receive a volume discount.  When you buy more than that, you will save even more!  The discount gets even bigger at each of the following amounts: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.

Documounts also sells other supplies that you’ll need to mat and frame your artwork, such as mat board, frames, glazing, and various matting and framing supplies.

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.
