Stimolantè 5×7" (13×18cm) Silver Foil Contemporary Strut Mounts (Pack of 100)
2mm Silver Foil Line on 1240gsm Black Recycled Board — A Step Up in Print Presence
A Minimal Finish That Keeps the Focus on the Image
The 5×7" (13×18cm) format occupies a deliberate middle ground in professional print presentation — larger than the standard 4×6" but more personal and immediate than the full 6×8". It carries more visual weight on a desk or shelf, giving the photograph room to breathe whilst remaining a practical size for clients to handle, display, and keep.
The Contemporary style brings a 2mm silver foil line — a restrained detail that defines the aperture edge without drawing attention away from the photograph. Precision cut from 1240gsm black recycled board, the through-dyed construction ensures clean, consistent colour across every surface and edge. For portrait studios, wedding photographers, and commercial work where presentation matters, the 5×7" Contemporary mount offers a quietly confident finish.

Contemporary vs Classic — Which Is Right for Your Work?
The Contemporary mount features a slim 2mm silver foil line that sits quietly around the aperture, keeping attention on the photograph. The Classic mount features a wider 5mm silver foil border that creates a more prominent, traditional frame. Contemporary suits modern studios, weddings, and corporate work. Classic is the preferred choice for school photography and formal portrait work where a traditional presentation is expected.
Product Features
2mm Silver Foil Line
The slim foil line sits at the aperture edge as a deliberate understatement. At 5×7", the photograph already commands attention through its size — the 2mm Contemporary line adds just enough definition to frame it cleanly without introducing visual competition between mount and image.
5×7" Format — More Room for the Image
A 5×7" print gives portrait photographers more space to work with than 4×6" — faces fill the frame more generously, backgrounds have room to contribute to the composition, and the overall impression of the finished piece is more substantial. The format suits close-up portraits, environmental shots, and editorial-style work equally well.
1240gsm Black Recycled Board
Through-dyed black recycled board ensures consistent colour on all cut edges. At 1240gsm, the board holds its shape reliably at 5×7" scale — a size where lighter boards can flex or bow, particularly when standing unsupported on the strut.
Portrait & Landscape Compatible
The two-way strut supports both orientations without modification. At 5×7", landscape orientation suits group shots, couples photography, and environmental portraits where width adds context to the composition.
Free-Standing Strut
The integrated strut allows each mount to stand on any flat surface without frames or fixings. At 5×7", the mounted print makes a more prominent desk or shelf display than a standard 4×6" — a detail that contributes to the perceived value of the finished product.
100-Pack for Professional Volume
Supplied in packs of 100 for professional studios and photographers working at volume. The 5×7" format is commonly used in portrait session packages, wedding print upgrades, and commercial commissions where a step above standard size adds value to the overall service.
Where the 5×7" Contemporary Mount Fits
Portrait Studios
5×7" is a natural upgrade size within portrait session packages — large enough to feel premium compared to standard 4×6" prints, without the cost implications of full large-format output. The Contemporary finish suits studios whose clients appreciate a modern, clean aesthetic over traditional bordered presentation.
Wedding Photography Packages
Offer 5×7" mounted prints as a mid-tier package option between standard and large-format prints. The size works well for couples portraits, bridal party shots, and key ceremony moments where more visual presence is desirable without committing to the full 6×8" or 8×10" format.
Corporate & Commercial Photography
5×7" mounted prints work well for headshots, team photographs, and commercial portraits where clients display prints in office environments. The Contemporary finish suits professional settings, and the size is appropriate for desk or reception display without dominating the space.
Event Photography Upgrades
Position 5×7" mounts as a premium upgrade at events where 4×6" is the standard. The step up in size is immediately visible and easy to communicate as added value, making it a straightforward upsell for photographers managing on-site printing at weddings, parties, and promotional events.

-
What is the difference between Contemporary and Classic?
Contemporary mounts feature a slim 2mm silver foil line set close to the aperture — a minimal finish that keeps the focus on the photograph. Classic mounts feature a wider 5mm silver foil border that creates a more prominent, traditional frame. Classic is the preferred choice for school photography and formal portrait work. Contemporary suits weddings, corporate events, and modern studio work.
-
How does the 5×7" size compare to 4×6" and 6×8"?
The 5×7" sits between the two. It is noticeably larger than a standard 4×6" print — enough to feel like a genuine upgrade within a package — but more personal and manageable than the 6×8" format. Many portrait photographers use 5×7" as a mid-tier option within session packages, positioned above standard and below large-format prints.
-
How do I insert a print into the mount?
Prints are inserted by sliding from the side of the mount until the print sits centrally within the aperture window. No adhesive is required — the mount holds the print in place through the aperture overlap.
-
Can I personalise these mounts for a specific event or client?
Yes. Branded Contemporary mounts in the same black board and silver foil finish are available with your studio name, logo, event name, or client details. A personalised mount turns a standard print into a branded keepsake — particularly effective for weddings, corporate events, and promotional work where identity matters. See the branded mounts section for details.
-
Can I use this mount in both portrait and landscape?
Yes. The two-way strut supports both orientations without modification. Simply rotate the mount to suit your print.
-
Is the board sustainably sourced?
Yes. All Stimolantè mounts are precision cut from 100% recycled board, through-dyed black for consistent colour on all edges. Recycled construction supports responsible sourcing without compromise on rigidity or finish quality.

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.
