Stimolantè 6×8" (15×20cm) Silver Foil Contemporary Strut Mounts (Pack of 100)
2mm Silver Foil Line on 1240gsm Black Recycled Board — Large Format Event & Portrait Presentation
A Minimal Finish That Keeps the Focus on the Image
The 6×8" (15×20cm) is the largest standard print size in professional event and portrait photography — the format most commonly output by dye-sublimation printers at weddings, corporate functions, and seasonal events. Mounted at this size, a photograph makes a confident statement on a desk or shelf, with enough surface area to present a scene, a group, or a portrait with genuine impact.
The Contemporary style brings a 2mm silver foil line set close to the aperture — precise enough to define the edge of the print without pulling focus from the image. Precision cut from 1240gsm black recycled board, through-dyed for consistent colour on all surfaces and edges. At 6×8", the weight and rigidity of the board matters — a lighter board would flex on the strut at this scale. The 1240gsm construction holds its shape reliably across high-volume production.

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
At 6×8", the photograph has the scale to carry the display on its own. The 2mm Contemporary line provides clean definition at the aperture edge without any visual competition — a deliberate restraint that lets the image occupy the full attention of whoever is looking at it.
6×8" — The Standard Large Event Format
6×8" (15×20cm) is the primary output size for professional event photographers using dye-sublimation printers. It is large enough to display meaningfully on a desk or shelf, fits comfortably into bags and envelopes for transport, and is immediately recognisable as a premium print size to clients and event guests.
1240gsm Black Recycled Board
At 6×8", board rigidity is particularly important. A lighter board will flex and bow when standing on the strut at this scale, undermining the presentation. The 1240gsm through-dyed construction holds its shape without compromise, even across the full run of a 100-pack session.
Portrait & Landscape Compatible
The two-way strut handles both orientations without modification. Landscape-oriented 6×8" prints work well for group shots, couples photography, venue scenes, and event coverage where width contributes to the composition.
Free-Standing Strut
Each mount stands independently on any flat surface. At 6×8", a framed print becomes a genuine display piece rather than something that needs to be propped up or tucked away — an important quality consideration when delivering prints to event guests or studio clients.
100-Pack for High-Volume Sessions
The 100-pack suits the throughput requirements of a full event or portrait session. 6×8" is a standard output size at weddings, corporate events, and grotto operations — having 100 mounts to hand avoids running short during busy periods and keeps workflow moving without interruption.
Where the 6×8" Contemporary Mount Fits
Wedding Photography
6×8" is the standard mounted print size for wedding photography in the UK. It works across ceremony shots, couple portraits, and group photographs, and is large enough to feel like a genuine keepsake rather than a standard print. The Contemporary finish suits modern wedding aesthetics where understated presentation is preferred.
Seasonal Grotto & Christmas Events
6×8" mounted prints are the norm for Santa grotto photography, where families expect a presentation piece they can display at home during the festive season. The Contemporary mount provides that premium feel without the bulk of larger formats, and the 100-pack capacity covers a full day of grotto sessions.
Corporate Event Photography
Mounted 6×8" prints at conferences, award ceremonies, and corporate functions give guests a tangible, branded deliverable from the event. The Contemporary finish communicates a professional aesthetic suitable for corporate environments, and the free-standing strut means prints are immediately displayable on office desks.
Portrait Studios
6×8" mounted prints sit naturally as the primary print size within portrait session packages — large enough to feel premium, practical enough for clients to take away and display without sourcing a separate frame. The black board and silver foil finish present well across a wide range of photographic styles.

-
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 6×8" size compare to 4×6" and 6×8"?
The 6×8" 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 6×8" 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.
