Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can these mounts be branded with my logo?
Yes. Stimolantè strut mounts can be customised with your logo, studio name, website, or contact details. Multiple foil colours and branding positions are available. Learn more about branding.
-
Are they suitable for posting to clients?
Yes. The rigid 1240gsm construction helps protect prints during transit. For additional protection and a professional finish, we also stock matching envelopes and protective bags.
-
What is the actual outer dimension of each mount size?
Listed sizes (4×6", 5×7", etc.) indicate the photo aperture dimensions, not external measurements. External dimensions are larger due to the silver foil border surround and structural board margins. For packaging calculations or shipping requirements needing precise external measurements, consult our Size Chart or contact us on 0208 527 6006 for dimensional specifications.
-
How does the silver foil border differ from printed borders?
The silver foil is applied through hot stamping—a premium process where metallic foil bonds to the board under heat and pressure. This creates a permanent, raised finish with metallic lustre that printed borders cannot replicate. The foil maintains its appearance through years of handling, whilst the physical texture adds quality that clients perceive immediately upon receiving their mounted prints.
-
Can I use these mounts for both portrait and landscape orientations?
The integrated strut adjusts to support either portrait or landscape display, adapting to your photography composition needs. Order mounts with apertures matching your print orientation—portrait openings for vertical images, landscape openings for horizontal compositions. The adjustable strut ensures stable positioning regardless of which orientation you choose for display.
-
How do I insert prints into the mounts?
Prints slide into the mount from the side opening, positioning behind the silver foil aperture. The heavy board maintains rigidity during insertion, allowing smooth print loading without flexing. The precision-cut aperture guides prints into position, making assembly straightforward even during high-volume packaging operations where speed matters.
-
Why choose silver mounts over black or white options?
Silver borders provide elegant contrast that enhances images without the stark formality of black or the softness of white/cream options. The metallic silver finish creates sophisticated visual separation that suits both formal and contemporary photography styles, making it a versatile choice for diverse client bases. Many photographers find silver borders appeal to broader audiences than strongly contrasting black, whilst maintaining more presence than lighter alternatives.
-
Are volume discounts available for high-volume users?
Volume pricing is available for photographers with substantial ongoing mount requirements. School photography operations, busy portrait studios, and commercial labs benefit from bulk purchase arrangements that lower per-unit costs and ensure inventory availability during busy periods. Contact 0208 527 6006 to discuss your typical usage volumes and explore customised pricing structures.

Photo Mount Size Guide
When selecting a mount for your photographs or prints, it is important to understand two key measurements: the insert size and the outer mount size.
Mounts are typically named according to the photo size they hold, rather than their external dimensions.
1 Insert Size
The insert refers to the photograph or print that sits behind the mount aperture. The print should be slightly larger than the aperture opening so it remains securely positioned behind the mount.
Example: A mount designed for a 4×6" photograph will usually have an aperture slightly smaller than 4×6".
2 Mount (Outer) Dimensions
The outer dimensions describe the full size of the mount itself. These measurements are important when choosing suitable packaging or frames.
Packaging: Bags or envelopes should always be slightly larger than the mount's outer dimensions.
Framing: The frame opening should be large enough to accommodate the mount comfortably.
Framing: The frame opening should be large enough to accommodate the mount comfortably.
