FRAME MOUNT

HOW TO

Step 1: All you need for framing a mount is a picture frame in the right format, the favorite picture in the size of the cutout and adhesive tape for attaching the picture.

Step 2: Turn the picture over and fix it with adhesive tape to the upper edge, sticky side down. Don’t use the tape at the other edges to prevent the picture from going wavy over time. 

Step 3: Then bring the front side back up. That’s how the mount can be aligned with the visible part of the picture. The cutout of the mount is about 5 mm smaller than the individual picture format. Thanks to the overlap there are no gaps at the edges. 

Step 4: Finally, the mount and the picture are placed behind the glass of the picture frame and its back is put back in. Enjoy the nice overall image that provides joy for a long time.  

THE EFFECT OF MOUNTS

Bright and lively motifs with intensive colors go along perfectly with black mounts. The inner black frame draws attention to the depth of the picture. In order not to lose this impressive depth effect, you should chose a black passepartout for slim picture frames in classic colors. 

Picture frames of all designs and colors will look more elegant in combination with a picture frame mount. Thanks to its clear lines, a passepartout structures the picture. Lively, colorful images acquire a peaceful effect because of it. The bevel cut even boosts this effect. 

White mounts in combination with black picture frames create a classy gallery effect. This way, photos and portraits in black and white look even more elegant. This high contrast color combination is timelessly classy and therefore a highlight for a classic and modern living ambience.

Photo Mounts – The Simple Design Wonder

Do you want to make your most beautiful photos or an abstract piece of art stand out more? Do you already have the right picture frame or frame set? Then make the subtle yet impactful difference by adding a photo mount to your framed pictures.


What is a photo mount?

A photo mount is an insert made of cardboard that is placed inside a picture frame, directly behind the glass and in front of the image. The cardboard insert prevents the picture from coming into direct contact with the glass. Photo mounts from PHOTOLINI are made of acid-free, age-resistant cardboard with a thickness of 1.4 mm. They are particularly sturdy and impress with their lightfast beveled edges.

Photo mounts are an effective and proven design element in photography and art. Whether it’s a white photo mount for a 13x18 portrait or a black 30x40 photo mount for an abstract painting, the ready-made photo mount adds the finishing touch to the picture framing.

Advantages of a Picture Frame with Photo Mount:


Enhanced Presentation:

A photo mount directs the focus to the image and highlights the subject. It creates a visual separation between the image and the frame, making the artwork or photo stand out more.

Image Protection:

The photo mount creates a gap between the glass and the image, protecting the artwork from moisture, dust, and emissions from the frame wood. This extends the lifespan of the image.

Increased Depth Effect:

The beveled cut of the photo mount gives the image an added dimension, creating a professional, three-dimensional look.

Versatile Design Options:

Photo mounts come in various colors, sizes, and shapes, giving you more creative freedom to adapt them to different images and frames.

Elegance and Professionalism:

A picture frame with a photo mount looks particularly stylish and adds a touch of elegance and quality to your wall décor.

Increase in Image Size:

A photo mount allows smaller pictures to be placed in larger frames, showcasing the image on a bigger surface without it appearing lost.

These advantages make the use of a photo mount particularly appealing in art, photography, and even in private spaces.


What should I consider when choosing photo mounts?


The available photo mount sizes correspond to the format of the matching picture frame. For a DIN A4 frame, a DIN A4 photo mount should be chosen, and for a 30x40 photo frame, a 30x40 photo mount. The stated dimensions refer to the outer sizes. The size of the inner photo mount cut-out describes the smallest possible image format that can be displayed with the photo mount. Therefore, the photo used should at least match the size of the photo mount cut-out to prevent it from slipping through the opening.

Which photo mount color should I choose?

Whether you choose a white or black photo mount largely depends on two factors:

  1. What is the color scheme of my image?
  2. What effect do I want to achieve with the image?

If you want to emphasize the warm colors in an image with a warm color scheme, a cream-white photo mount is ideal for this. A pure white photo mount, on the other hand, accentuates the cool colors in a print with a cooler color scheme.

Light-colored photo mounts bring the image into the foreground when viewed. Black photo mounts, on the other hand, push the image into the background. At the same time, they encourage the viewer to engage with the image for a longer period. A real eye-catcher!


Photo mounts for every type of picture frame

The decorative character of photo mounts can be further enhanced by selecting a picture frame that complements the image and the room's design. Poster frames are a popular accessory in minimalist interior concepts, providing a fitting presentation for more subdued images, including a photo mount.

With their curved lines, colonial-style picture frames exude liveliness. Combined with light-colored photo mounts, they help dynamic images achieve an appealing display on the wall.

Different formats are suitable depending on the intended function of the photo mounts. While a rectangular presentation of images blends seamlessly into the existing wall design, square photo mounts in frames evoke gallery-style frames, turning the wall into a real eye-catcher.

Suitable Pictures for Framing with Passepartouts

Depending on the type of picture frame used with the passepartout, a different visual effect is achieved. Smaller formats with a wide border enhance the calming effect of still subjects, such as flower pictures and other motionless motifs. Photographs with a strong sense of life- such as wedding photos or special vacation moments - are subtly brought into focus by narrow picture frames with passepartouts. A white passepartout enriches any type of image:

  • Color photographs
  • Black-and-white portraits
  • Abstract art prints
  • Architecture posters
  • Paintings and drawings
  • Postcards


Get Creative with Photo Mounts

Photo mounts don’t just enhance the visual appeal of pictures in frames; they are also a popular element for all painting and crafting enthusiasts. The thick, sturdy cardboard can be easily labeled, painted, or decorated. Framed wedding photos can quickly gain a personal touch - simply write the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date on the photo mount, and you have a personalized wedding gift in no time.
