Frequently Asked Questions

• Why choose the 50-pack instead of larger quantities? +

  The 50-pack offers flexibility for photographers who need smaller quantities for specific sessions, want to trial different sizes before bulk purchasing, or serve specialty markets where lower volumes are typical. It's particularly useful for testing client preferences, managing inventory for seasonal work, or handling individual school classes and smaller events without excess stock. Studios can maintain diverse size offerings without capital tied up in large quantities of each format.

• Is the quality the same as larger pack sizes? +

  Absolutely. The 50-pack contains identical mounts to those in larger pack quantities—same 1240gsm recycled board, same black foil border, same precision cutting, and same through-dyed construction. The only difference is pack quantity; the professional-grade quality remains consistent across all Stimolantè pack sizes, ensuring your presentation standards never vary based on order volume.

• Can I mix different sizes in a single order? +

  Yes, you can order multiple 50-packs in different sizes to build a versatile mount inventory suited to your photography business. Many photographers order several sizes simultaneously—perhaps 4×6" for standard school portraits, 5×7" for upgrade packages, and 8×10" for premium offerings—enabling diverse client options without requiring bulk quantities of each individual size.

• How do prints insert into these mounts? +

  Prints slide in from the side opening, positioning behind the black foil aperture frame. The heavy 1240gsm board stays rigid during insertion, preventing flexing whilst you load prints. The precision-cut opening guides prints into correct positioning, making assembly straightforward even when processing the entire 50-pack for event deliveries or school packages where speed matters.

• Are these suitable for both portrait and landscape photos? +

  The strut mechanism supports display in either orientation, but you should order mounts with apertures matching your intended use—portrait apertures for vertical images, landscape apertures for horizontal compositions. The adjustable strut ensures stable positioning regardless of orientation choice. For photographers shooting both orientations, ordering appropriate aperture types for each ensures optimal presentation across your portfolio.

• What makes black mounts preferable to other colours? +

  Black borders deliver maximum contrast that makes colours appear more saturated and details more defined against the dark surround. This high-impact presentation particularly suits formal photography, milestone events, and traditional presentation expectations common in school photography and ceremonial occasions. The formal black aesthetic conveys gravitas appropriate for important life moments, whilst the strong contrast ensures photographs command attention rather than blending into backgrounds.

• How should I store the 50-pack before use? +

  Store mounts flat in their original packaging in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping them horizontal prevents warping, whilst protection from humidity maintains board rigidity and foil finish quality. The 50-pack size stores more compactly than bulk quantities, making it practical for studios with limited storage space or mobile photographers who need portable inventory for on-location events.

• Can these be customised with my studio branding? +

  Yes, Stimolantè mounts can be customised with your logo, studio name, contact details, or website. Custom branding transforms mounts into marketing tools that reinforce your brand every time clients display your work. Branding options include multiple foil colours and positioning choices. Contact us on 0208 527 6006 to discuss custom branding for your mount orders, noting that custom work typically requires minimum order quantities above the standard 50-pack.
