Metal print mounting options from Bay Photo Lab

metal mounted prints

Photographers are always on the lookout for exciting new options to offer clients. Metal prints make photographs appear amazingly vibrant and are created by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum. Bay Photo Lab is on the cutting edge of metal print mounting options.  Metal prints call for a less traditional display than their paper print counterparts, and these modern mounting options fit the bill!

1. Metal Easel Back

Perhaps the sleekest way to display tabletop prints is by having a Metal Easel back affixed to the rear of a metal print. Depending on the orientation of the print, the easel will be placed horizontally or vertically and is available for print sizes 6 x 6 inches through 16 x 16 inches. These would work perfectly for an office space and make a thoughtful gift, as well. $5

2. Exhibit Mount

Handling and transporting prints for multiple gallery showings can be risky business when attempting to keep items looking their best at their final destinations. Exhibit Mounts boast durability without sacrificing a beautiful display. Metal Prints are first mounted on 2mm black styrene to protect them and finished with a black metal inset frame that is ready to hang. Exhibit Mounts work well for gallery showings, in a studio or hung above the mantle. Prices range from at $28-$274 based on size ordered

3. Stainless Steel Mounting Posts

Add a modern flair to metal prints by purchasing Stainless Steel Mounting Posts. Mounting posts come in sets of four, one for each corner of the metal print. Larger sized prints (48 x 96 inches and up) arrive with six posts for added stability. Consider combining these with a collage wall display to spice things up! Starting at $22

4. Float Mount Hanger

For a clean look, have Bay Photo attach a float mount hanger to the back of your print to make the artwork ready to hang immediately upon opening the package! Floating 1/2’’ off of the wall, the image will take on a 3-D quality. There are various styles available, depending upon the size ordered. $5 for prints 12 x 12 inches and under, $7.50 for prints 12 x 18 inches and over
