Here are some tips for choosing the best matting & picture frame for your art or photography:

To protect and preserve your original artwork, use archival matting & picture frame with UV acrylic glazing.  This combination will provide the best possible protection for your artwork.

If you would like to create a more sophisticated presentation, try double or triple matting. Picture frame mouldings that have a deep profile would be ideal for this kind of framing.

To frame black and white photography, consider using a white mat with a black core, inside a black picture frame.  This combination of matting & framing would create a stylish contemporary presentation.

If you need to buy a large quantity of matting & picture frames to display your art for sale at art galleries and art festivals, then you’ll love the bulk discounts you’ll receive when you buy matting & picture frames in bulk from Documounts.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut mat to receive a discount.  When you buy more, the discount gets even bigger!  You only need to buy 4 wood custom picture frames to receive a discount, or 3 readymade wood picture frames.  These discounts make it easier for artists and photographers to stock up on matting & picture frames.

A picture mount is an essential part of displaying your work.  The picture mount provides a sturdy surface that will protect the artwork.  If you are an artist or a photographer and you sell your artwork at art festivals, then you definitely want to sell your work mounted on a picture mount.  The picture mount will protect the art from damage while it is on display in racks or bins.  Picture mounts are also essential if you are framing your art, because it serves as a solid, protective backing board.

Documounts sells a variety of picture mounts.  The best picture mount for you will depend on what you are mounting.  Here are some guidelines for choosing the best picture mount for your needs:

• If you are mounting an original, one-of-a-kind work of art, a limited edition print, or a vintage photograph, then you should use an archival picture mount.  A museum-quality archival picture mount will help to protect the artwork from chemical deterioration.  Documounts carries 2 types of archival picture mounts: archival foam core and Bainbridge Artcare mounting board.
• If you are mounting an open edition reproduction, such as a print or a photograph, then you can use a standard picture mount.  Standard mount boards are acceptable for non-archival mounting purposes.  Documounts carries standard quality, non-archival foam core and Bainbridge 2UB and 4UB chip board.
• If you are mounting an inexpensive poster, print, or photograph, then you might consider using an adhesive picture mount.  However, you should only use an adhesive mount board if you are absolutely certain that you’ll never want to remove the picture from the mount board, because it is very difficult to remove a picture from adhesive mount board without damaging the picture.

Documounts offers bulk discounts when you buy picture mounts in large quantities.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut picture mount to receive a discount.  When you buy more, the discount gets even bigger!  The discount gets bigger at each of the following amounts: 4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.

In addition to picture mounts, Documounts also sells adhesives, mat boards, frames, and many other matting and framing supplies!

We also sell archival mats for matting photos & matting artwork that are one-of-a-kind, or part of a limited edition.  Custom cut archival mats are perfect for matting photos & matting artwork where conservation is a top priority.  Our museum-quality rag mats are the top-of-the-line choice for matting photos & matting artwork.
