Laminated Image Mounting and how it can be useful to you.
Laminated Image Mounting and how it can be useful to you.
Laminated image mounting in most basic terms is taking a printed image and
mounting it onto high grade fiberboard or masonite, then finishing in a variety of colors
and styles.
In more detailed terms, your image is printed onto acid free matte photographic paper,
cut to size, and then heat laminated onto masonite or fiberboard. This process results
in a durable plastic protective laminate covering your images. It's so durable you can
actually wipe your images clean with a damp cloth without damaging them. Perfect for
photos, diplomas, and art prints.
Here's where it gets interesting. Not only is this a durable way to protect images
forever, but it's available in 3 contemporary styles that really look fantastic:
The Plaque Mount: The simplest and most affordable style is our plaque mount. Your
picture is laminated onto 3/8" inch thick fiberboard that has a 1/8" beveled edge, hand
finished in gold, silver, white, or black edge coloring.
The fiberboard has a custom cut groove in the back for hanging flush on any wall. This
gives a clean, ultra-contemporary look to any image.
Sizes start at 4" x 6" for $11.99 and go up to 40" a 48" for just $169.99. Without the
need for framing you simply can't beat this for quality and durability at this price. We
include the print in the price, so you just need to vist our plaque mounting page, select
your size, and then upload your image.
The Box Mount: A step up from the plaque mount, the box mount lamination adds
extra depth to your image. With this product your image is laminated onto 1/8" thick
masonite with a beveled edge. A 3/4" box frame is added to the back, flush with the
masonite, and then hand finished in your choice of color. This is perfect when you
want a contemporary look with a little more bulk to it, or if you need something which
adds more of an accent color to your decor. The extra 3/4" give you more to work with.
Prices start at $17.49 for box mounts, so still a great product at a great price.
The Float Mount: My personal favorite, our floater option adds a whole new dimension
to your pictures. This design actually gives the appearnace that your picture is
"floating" off the wall. Once again your image is laminated onto 1/8" thick masonite
with a beveled edge, finished in your choice of color (black, white, silver, or gold). A 3/4"
box frame is also added to the back of this product, but a few inches inside the edge of
the masonite, giving the floating appearance. Very sleek and contemporary, with prices
starting at $14.49.
I have also included a profile (side) view diagram below left to better illustrate this
product. The greenish-blue part is the masonite with the image mounted on the
right-most surface. The gray rectangle is the box frame with touches the wall on the
left-most side.

Suggested Uses for Laminated Image Mounting:
Since we specialize in fine art printing I would remiss not to suggest creating your own
unique art merchandise using these beautiful products. I think these work especially
well for contemporary abstract art prints and fine art photography. They will truly make
your work stand out at your next art show, so why not try a few small ones to begin with
and see the reaction.
Remember we only use acid-free products in the creation of our laminated prints, so
your art is totally "collector friendly".
We can work with you to create custom pieces, sizes, and edge colors too, so don't
feel restricted by what's on our site.
Laminated Image Mounting also works great for corporate product displays, menu
boards, diplomas, certificates, family photographs, and basically anytime you want to
give a contemporary look to your documents and photos. Give it a try today and please
contact me with any questions. Thanks!
