Plaque Mounting

Plaque mounting is a popular framing method that involves mounting a print or photograph onto a durable backing board, which is then covered with a protective layer to create a finished, frameless piece. This technique is ideal for displaying artwork or photographs that require protection from damage, such as fading, tearing, or bending. The backing board used in plaque mounting is typically made from a sturdy material, such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard) or foam board, and the print is secured onto it using a heat-activated adhesive. Once the print is mounted, a protective layer of lamination is applied to the surface to prevent damage from dust, moisture, and UV rays. Plaque mounting offers a sleek and modern look that highlights the artwork while minimizing the distraction of a traditional frame.
