Mounted Posters - What's the printing process?

Mounted posters are a great option for a variety of purposes and venues, such as announcing a product launch, promoting sales at a store, or advertising at an exhibition and so much more. Sturdy and long lasting, they will present your poster in a sleek and professional manner without requiring a frame.

What exactly is a Mounted Poster? 

Mounted Posters are a common display form that involves adhering an image or poster to a board with a foam core and a matte paper surface. Mounting photos or posters on foam core is an attractive way to complement an image without overwhelming it, whether it be in a large format or a smaller size. There is also a huge benefit in using the foam boards as it is inexpensive, lightweight, and long-lasting when used for indoor displays at the correct size.

What are the Mounted Poster Prints made up of?

Mounted Posters are made up of a polystyrene clad centre layer sandwiched between two outer layers of white clay-coated, matte paper. These poster materials are sturdy and lightweight, allowing for it to be easily cut, which makes it an exceptional choice for mounting photographic prints, posters and banners for promotional use. The poster materials that can be directly printed on your boards on are as follows:

Foam board

Foam board or foam core is a lightweight material most often used for presenting information or images in a contemporary way. Choose from 5mm or 10mm thicknesses.

Foamex 

Foamex is a slightly flexible plastic board which allows excellent image reproduction and is ideal for a multitude of applications including point of sale, artwork display, outdoor signage and exhibition uses.

Corex

Corex is a lightweight, slightly corrugated board, ideal for temporary signage or short-term projects where economy is important.

Display Card

Display cards are a medium weight 2mm smooth board, ideally suited for retail environments.

The Benefits of Mounted Printed Posters

Mounting posters on foam core is a fast, cost-effective way to make an impression. We can print and mount your posters or graphics onto a range of different display boards to produce outstanding quality mounted posters or printed display boards. Because the material is ultra-lightweight, large images can be hung on walls or suspended from ceilings with ease. Its rigid design resists wear and tear, but its low price tag means that damaged or outdated artwork can be painlessly replaced. This can often encourage outdoor use as if they are damaged due to weather conditions, they are not too expensive to replace.

Mounted posters are particularly popular for the durability and versatility whilst also using being inexpensive material for displaying images. Other benefits include the appearance of them as due to being a flat and crisp surface, they can be hung anywhere! They are also resistant to travel damage as they don't need to be folded and therefore don't suffer from folding marks or wrinkling. At Photoline, we can create Mounted Posters to a bespoke size of your choice.
