Box Mount: A Stylish Option to Elevate Your Print <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing like a little optical illusion to make your metal print displays stand out. The box mount is a stylish option for metal prints because it \u2018lifts\u2019 your print off the wall to give it the illusion of floating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re the kind of person who enjoys sleek furniture and minimalistic colors, you can\u2019t go wrong with the box mount. These mounts will push your print 3\/4ths of an inch off the wall \u2013 as such, this option is fantastic for interior wall art<\/a>, particularly if you have a modern set-up. The subtle floating effect creates a futuristic look, appearing almost like a hologram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beginners to metal printing will also enjoy how easy and straightforward it is to hang a box mount metal print. Our box mounts only require a single nail to hang up, so you don\u2019t have to fuss with multiple working parts. However, keep in mind these mounts are only for prints that are 20 x 30 in or smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re a budding interior designer who wants to get creative or a business owner who needs unique prints, box mounts are among the most stylish mounted prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Frame Mount: A Top Pick for Business Printing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Similar to the box mount, the premium frame mount is simple and effective for pushing a print slightly off the wall to wow viewers. This option is a fantastic pick for people who don\u2019t need too much <\/em>style with their substance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The premium frame mount also lifts the print 3\/4ths of an inch off the wall, but showcases the back of the print as a sleek \u2018frame\u2019. This border has a way of wrapping up a photo or illustration, giving it a professional appeal that\u2019s undeniable. When studies have shown people will form an impression<\/a> within seven seconds or less, the vibrant color and professional finish of a metal print is worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We highly recommend premium frame mounts for small businesses who want to showcase a little extra professionalism at trade show displays. White matte<\/a> is an ideal finish for these settings to reduce glare, though you should only use them for less colorful images. If you have vibrant photos or paintings, consider a white gloss option (and keep it away from any windows or bright light sources). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of our premium frame mounts come with cleats, screws, and levels so you can set everything up yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From banners to sign prints, premium frame mounts make it clear you\u2019re serious about the value you offer. When nearly 40% of attendees will visit a company’s website<\/a> after visiting their booth at a trade show, this is one impression you can get right with gorgeous metal prints!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Have a few more questions about choosing the best mounted prints or backings for your metal prints? We\u2019ll answer a few of them below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Do You Mount a Large Print? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Mounting metal prints depends on the kind you purchase, such as a single nail for a box mount or cleat, drywall screws, and bubble level for an edge mount. You can read our tutorials on how to mount metal prints here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should Large Prints Be Glossy or Matte?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This answer depends on where you\u2019ll be displaying your print and what you\u2019re printing. Glossy provides richer colors, but has the risk of glare when next to a light source or a window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matte doesn\u2019t have any glare and is ideal for bright settings, but has softer and more faded colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do Mounted Prints Need to Be Framed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No, a mounted print does not need to be framed (unless you like the look). If you want a metal print mount that comes with a built-in frame, try our premium frame mounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
