Mounting and Laminating Services


From Gatorfoam to sintra, dibond, and even aluminum, we can mount to a variety of sleek-looking substrates, and laminate on both sides of your prints.

Turnaround time is approximately two weeks. Rush orders can be usually be accommodated for an additional 35% surcharge.

Please note that mounted prints lose approximately 1/8″ on all sides during the mounting process. If your print needs to be of an exact size, please size your image 1/4″ larger overall to compensate.

Our favorite
mounting substrates

Gatorfoam.

Similar to foam-core, it is comprised of extruded polystyrene foam bonded between two layers of wood-fiber veneer. More info.

Sintra.

Thin and sturdy, mounting on aluminum provides far more reliable results than printing on it.
