Laminated Image Mounting - An In-depth Explanation

It's always tough to present products online in a way that fully captures the look and feel of product in real life. So today I'm going to give a fuller explanation of what I feel is one of our nicest products, in the hope that you'll get a better idea of the beauty of 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.
