Thicker pieces
Mount printed sheets together when the finished piece needs more thickness.
Mounting Services
Mounting services for print that needs more thickness and support.
Mounting attaches a printed sheet to another sheet, chipboard, or rigid backing. We use it for thick business cards, counter cards, tabletop displays, mounted prints, presentation pieces, and other print that needs more structure.
Send us the size, quantity, artwork, and what the finished piece needs to do—or just send what you have. We’ll help figure out the material, thickness, and finishing.

Quick answer
What is print mounting?
Print mounting attaches a printed sheet to another sheet, chipboard, board, or rigid backing to make the finished piece thicker or sturdier.
It is commonly used for thick business cards, counter cards, tabletop displays, mounted prints, signs, packaging inserts, and presentation pieces.
When mounting helps
Some printed pieces need more than paper alone.
Mounting adds thickness or rigidity when a printed piece needs to stand up, stay flat, handle repeated use, or simply be thicker than the stock it was printed on.
Rigid backing
Mount print to chipboard or board when it needs more support.
Counter & tabletop pieces
Useful for pieces that need to sit or stand on a counter, desk, or display.
More finishing
Mounted pieces can also be trimmed, laminated, scored, die cut, assembled, or packed.

Compare finishing methods
Mounting, laminating, and die cutting do different things.
A project may use one of these processes or combine several of them. The right setup depends on the finished piece and how it will be used.
| Mounting | Adds thickness or rigidity by attaching print to another sheet or backing. |
|---|---|
| Laminating | Adds a film over the printed surface for protection or a different finish. |
| Die cutting | Cuts the piece into a shape or adds tabs, windows, holes, or rounded corners. |
Materials & finishing
The backing and finishing depend on the job.
The printed sheet, desired thickness, backing material, adhesive, trim, and final use all affect the setup. Mounted pieces can also move into other finishing steps.

Questions we get about print mounting.
What materials can print be mounted to?

Can Voom make extra-thick business cards?
Yes. Multiple printed sheets can be mounted together for extra-thick, duplex, or color-core style business cards.
