Finishing

Images usually require finishing such as mounting, laminating, hemming, grommets, velcro, magnets, profile cuts or some combination. Our skilled technicians and craftsmen make it all happen right every time!

 

  Mounting Substrates

  • AlphaMount ArtCare: 4-ply
    Acid-free, archival mounting board used for the fine art community.

  • Foamcore: 1/4"
    Sheet size 4'x8', 5'x8''.
    A light duty foamboard intended for temporary use. Must be well-supported to prevent warping.

  • Gatorboard: 3/16", 1/2", 1"
    Sheet sizes 4'x8', 5'x8', 5'x10'.
    A premium rigid foamboard and arguably the most popular mounting material available. It's light , easy to hang and popular for a multitude of uses. Black is our standard. White and natural are available with colors available on special order.

  • Sintra: 1/8", 1/4"
    Sheet sizes 4'x8', 5'x8', 5'x10'.
    A hard-surfaced expanded plastic, very durable and popular for trade show and permanent commercial display applications. Black is standard, white available and limited colors on special order.

  • Acrylic: 1/8", 1/4"
    Sheet sizes 4'x8', 5'x8', 4'x10'.
    Clear acrylic, often called plexiglas, is often used "facemounted" onto the front of backlit transparencies for light boxes.

  Laminations 

  • Gloss UV Laminate: 5 mil, 10 mil. Medium durability for normal use. Thermally bonded for permanence.

  • Luster UV-HG Laminate: 5 mil.  Scratch and abrasion resistant "hard-guard" surfaced laminate often used for roll-up graphics on pop-up display booths. More durable than most laminates. Thermally bonded for permanence.

  • Lustex Lexan Laminate: 15 mil. Extremely heavy duty laminate with a slightly textured surface. Used wherever maximum durability is required, especially for floor graphics.

  • Duraseal: 5 mil, 10 mil. Thermal bond encapsulation. Gloss or luster on graphic front and gloss on graphic rear.

  • Failsafe-One Rollup Lamination: An extremely durable combination of Hard-Guard front laminate and heavy gloss rear laminate for roll-up graphics. Thermally bonded and guaranteed not to delaminate from Duraflex media.
