Precision Flattening & Mounting
Successful mounting is about achieving a clean, flat finish without bubbles, ripples or distortion.
Our large-format vacuum mounting press enables us to flatten and permanently mount a wide variety of materials up to 2500 × 1300 mm, making it particularly well suited to oversized projects and work beyond the capacity of many standard framing workshops.
Whether mounting a single item or undertaking larger production runs, every project receives the same careful handling and attention to detail.
Mounting Onto the Right Substrate
Different projects require different substrates.
Some call for lightweight presentation, others require greater rigidity, while some simply demand the largest substrate available.
We regularly mount onto:
Acid-Free Foamboard — 3 mm, 5 mm & 10 mm
Archival Foamboard — 3 mm & 5 mm
MountCor — 5 mm
4 Ply & 8 Ply Matboards
MDF — 3 mm, 5 mm, 9mm & 12 mm
Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) — 4 mm & 6 mm
Palight PVC Board — 4 mm & 6 mm
We also have access to a wide range of mounting films, allowing us to select the most appropriate combination for each individual project.
Working Alongside Fellow Framers
Many framing workshops occasionally encounter projects that exceed the size or capability of their own mounting equipment.
Whether it’s an oversized project, a one-off job, or simply additional production capacity, we’re always pleased to assist fellow framers while allowing them to continue looking after their own customers.
Built Around Your Project
Every project presents its own requirements.
The material being mounted, the substrate selected and the intended application all influence the most appropriate approach.
Our objective is always the same—to achieve an accurate, stable result that provides the best possible foundation for the next stage of your project.
Not Local?
We regularly undertake mounting projects for customers throughout New Zealand.
Many projects can be discussed by phone or email before being securely couriered to our Palmerston North workshop for mounting and returned ready for the next stage of production.
