Title: UK Mountboard suppliers
Post by: Mr_S on October 08, 2011, 07:39:27 am

Hi,

I'm looking into the viablility of offering a mounting option to my prints.  I've looked into buying pre-cut mounts and while I'm assuming the quality of cut will be excellent, the price is a little high, and something that I wouldn't like to pass on to the customer.  I think I might invest in a reasonable Logan mount cutter and cut my own.

Can anyone here recommend a good (not over priced) place to get saleable quality, acid free mountboard in the UK?  I'm not looking to buy in bulk but small packs would be fine.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

C.

I've bought small quantities from both Lion (http://www.lionpic.co.uk/) and DIY Framing (http://www.diyframing.com/). Both have provided good service.

Cotswold mounts (http://www.cotswoldmounts.co.uk) provide a good service and offer a good range of colours and grades of card.

Thanks - they look like good prices and come in A2 sizes (which is what I really want)...only downside is your actually have to talk to someone to order - what has the internet done to me?!  :)
