Mounting photos is easy and affordable when you buy your mount boards from Documounts!

We specialize in creating custom cut mount boards for mounting photos in nearly any size. Documounts sells three different types of mount board for mounting photos: archival, standard, and adhesive.

Archival mount board is the best choice when mounting photos that are unique, vintage, or part of a limited edition.  Archival mount board will protect your artwork against environmental pollutants and chemical deterioration.  Archival mount boards like foam core or Bainbridge Artcare mounting boards are ideal for mounting photos that you want to preserve for a lifetime.  Archival foam core is available in two thicknesses: 1/8” and 3/16”.  The 3/16” foam core is ideal for mounting photos that are large, because it is extra sturdy.

Standard mount board can be used when mounting photos that are part of an open edition.  Standard mount board is not archival, so mounting photos with standard mount board will not protect and preserve your photos the same way that archival mount board will.  Standard mount board includes foam core (1/8” thick and 3/16” thick), as well as 1/16” thick Bainbridge 2UB chip board and 3/32” thick Bainbridge 4UB chip board.

Adhesive mount board should only be used when mounting photos that are inexpensive.  Mounting photos onto adhesive mount board is permanent, so it will be difficult (if not impossible) to remove the photos without damaging the photo.  Mounting photos onto adhesive mount board is also more difficult than mounting photos onto regular mount board, so take that into consideration as well.

If you need lots of mount board for mounting photos to sell at art fairs, then you’ll enjoy the volume discounts you’ll receive when you buy 4 or more of the same custom cut mount boards from Documounts.  When you buy more, the prices get even lower!  The more you buy, the more you save.

Documounts also carries other supplies that you’ll need for mounting photos, matting photos, and framing photos!

Do you need custom cut photo mats?  Documounts specializes in expertly creating custom cut photo mats in any size that you need.  We carry a vast range of mat board, allowing you to choose your preferred color as well as the quality of the mat board.  You can also create double mats or triple mats.

We sell archival photo mats, pH neutral photo mats, and economy photo mats to suit your matting needs.  If you’re not sure whether you need archival, pH neutral or economy photo mats, consider the following:

• Archival photo mats are museum-quality and permanently acid-free.  If conservation framing is a priority for you, use archival mat board.  These photo mats are ideal for limited edition photos.
• pH neutral photo mats are temporarily acid-free, but over time the protective buffering will wear off, exposing your photos to chemical deterioration such as yellowing, staining and fading.  Use pH neutral photo mats only if you are matting open edition photos.
• Economy photo mats have an acidic core, although the surface is buffered to be temporarily acid free.  Use these photo mats only if you are matting open edition photos.

After you select the quality of the mat board that suits your needs, choose the color, size and quantity of mats that you require.

If you need to buy a lot of photo mats to get ready for an upcoming exhibition of your work, then you will be delighted to hear that Documounts offers deep bulk discounts when you buy a large quantity of photo mats.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut photo mats to start receiving the bulk discount.  When you buy more than that, the discount gets even deeper!

To order your custom cut photo mat board, first decide on the quality of the mat board.  We carry archival, pH neutral, and economy photo mat board.  The type of mat board that you need will depend on the type of photo that you are matting.  Is it a limited edition photo, or a one-of-a-kind vintage photo?  If so, then you should use an archival photo mat board.  Are you matting open edition photographs?  Then you can use pH neutral photo mat board.  If you are matting inexpensive photos, then you can use economy photo mat board.

After you choose the quality of the photo mat board, choose the brand, color and size that you require.  You’ll need to provide the size you need for the outer dimensions as well as the inner window opening.  Finally, let us know the quantity of photo mat board that you need.  If you buy a lot of the same photo mat board, you’ll receive a volume discount!  You only need to buy 4 or more of the same photo mat board to receive the bulk discount.
