Box mount / Standout prints

Photo by Lloyd Weaver

We developed the box mount, also known as a standout, as an elegant and affordable method to display prints. The box is made of sturdy 3/16-inch foam board so the print stands out from the wall.


Advantages of the Box mount

  • It keeps the print flat
  • It protects the back of the print from moisture and air-born contaminants
  • As it is hung from a wire loop on the back, the box is held tight against the wall
  • The black paper surface of the foam board shows on the sides to frame the print
  • The print is light weight and small prints are hung from the provided 3M Command fasteners that do not damage the wall

Options for Box mounting

Compared to Gallery wrap

  • With both the prints are mounted on a foam board box
  • With box mount, sides are the (acid free) paper surface of the foam board instead of canvas
  • The sides are black whereas for Gallery wrap the sides can be the image or any solid or textured color.
  • Box mount is less expensive since less paper and ink are used for a given size mount

  • We can print on canvas, fine art paper, or luster photo paper.
  • The print dimensions can range up to 27x35x2 inches.
  • The depth of the box (distance it stands out from the wall) can be varied between 1 and 3 inches.
  • Foam board can be black or white (we recommend black).
  • The black border seen from the front can be varied from none to 2 inches.
  • We can print a mat-look, dark or light vignette, or other types of borders.
  • We can divide one image into several prints that, when hung together, look even better than one very large print. Try a triptych!

Testimonials

sent to us by our customers

"REDIpix is a wonderful on-line system for hobbyists as well as professionals to use for getting top-notch prints. The unique mounting system (with hardware included!) affords both the amateur and the entrepreneur a great way to show their clients or friends their work. The box mount design in which you offer a variety of print mediums; like photo paper, fine art, or canvas, allows the photographer to really display his or her work in its best form. I can’t say enough about the quality and care taken to make each work a piece of art. Every photographer once trying this concept will surely be a return customer, as I know I am. "... Kenneth Wier

Box mount with no border

Here you can see the handsome look of borderless with black sides. This has the same ready-to-hang appeal as Gallery wrap but you end up with a larger print since the paper is not used on the sides. This giclée image was copied from a large original drawing then printed on fine art paper.

Box mount canvas

Another example of this popular mounting technique that was invented by REDIpix.com. Here the box extends a half inch beyond the print to leave a black frame as viewed from the front.
