Add thickness
Bond multiple sheets together when the finished piece needs a thicker, more substantial construction.
Print Mounting Services
Print mounting for thick cards, displays & rigid-backed pieces.
Print mounting bonds a printed sheet to another sheet, chipboard, or a rigid backing to create a thicker, sturdier finished piece.
Use mounting for extra-thick business cards, counter cards, tabletop displays, mounted prints, presentation pieces, packaging components, and other print that needs more structure. Tell us what the piece needs to do and we’ll help work through the material, thickness, and finishing.
Print mounting and finishing are produced at our Plano facility for businesses in Dallas, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and customers nationwide.

Quick Answer
What is print mounting?
Print mounting attaches a printed sheet to another sheet, chipboard, board, or another suitable rigid backing to make the finished piece thicker, flatter, or more structurally supported.
It is commonly used for thick business cards, counter cards, tabletop displays, mounted prints, signs, packaging inserts, and presentation materials.
Print mounting adds thickness, rigidity, or structural support by bonding the printed piece to another sheet or backing material. For a film applied over the printed surface to change appearance, feel, or durability, see Laminating . For finished signs, retail displays, wall graphics, window graphics, banners, and trade show graphics, see Signage & Display Graphics .
When Mounting Helps
Some printed pieces need more than paper alone.
Mounting is useful when a printed piece needs extra thickness, needs to stay flat, needs enough structure to display, or needs a more substantial feel than the printed stock can provide by itself.
Add rigid support
Mount print to chipboard, board, or another suitable backing when the piece needs more structural support.
Build displays
Create counter cards, tabletop displays, presentation pieces, and other materials that need to stand or stay flat.
Keep finishing connected
Mounted pieces can move into trimming, laminating, scoring, die cutting, assembly, packing, or fulfillment.
Common Projects
Mounting for pieces that need to feel or behave differently.
You do not need to know the exact backing or finished thickness before asking for a quote. Send the size, quantity, artwork, and how the finished piece will be used.
Extra-thick business cards
Counter cards
Tabletop displays
Mounted prints
Packaging and kit pieces
Specialty presentation pieces
Compare Finishing Methods
Mounting, laminating, and die cutting solve different problems.
A single project may use one of these processes or combine several. The right setup depends on what the finished piece needs to look like, feel like, and do.
| Process | What It Changes | Common Reason to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Adds thickness or rigidity by bonding print to another sheet or backing material. | Extra-thick cards, displays, mounted prints, and structurally supported pieces. |
| Laminating | Adds a film over the printed surface. | Protection, matte or gloss appearance, soft-touch feel, or specialty surface performance. |
| Die Cutting | Changes the physical shape or adds openings, tabs, windows, holes, or custom edges. | Custom-shaped print, functional features, rounded corners, and specialty finishing. |
Materials & Finishing
The right backing depends on what happens to the piece next.
The printed stock, desired thickness, backing material, adhesive, trim, finishing steps, and final use all affect the mounting setup.
A thick business card and a counter display may both be mounted, but they do not necessarily use the same materials or construction.
Send the piece and how it will be used. We can help work through the thickness, backing, and finishing sequence.
- Sheet-to-sheet construction
- Chipboard, board, or suitable rigid backing
- Finished thickness based on use
- Adhesive matched to the materials
- Trimming, scoring, laminating, or die cutting
- Assembly, packing, kitting, or fulfillment
How It Works
From printed sheet to finished mounted piece.
Send the finished size, quantity, artwork, deadline, material if known, and what the finished piece needs to do.
Tell us about the piece.
Send the size, quantity, artwork, intended use, deadline, and any materials you already know.
We work out the construction.
We review the printed sheet, backing, thickness, adhesive, and any additional finishing the piece requires.
We mount and finish it.
The layers are joined, then the piece can be trimmed, laminated, scored, die cut, assembled, or otherwise finished.
We check, pack & deliver.
Finished pieces are checked and prepared for pickup, local delivery, fulfillment, or nationwide shipping.
What to Send
You do not need the mounting specification figured out first.
Send whatever you already know. The finished use often tells us more than a material name does.
Finished size
Width and height of the completed piece.
Quantity
How many finished pieces you need produced.
Artwork
Print-ready artwork, approved layout, existing sample, or whatever file you have.
Material
Paper, board, backing, or desired thickness if you already know it.
Final use
Tell us whether it needs to stand, stay flat, feel thicker, display, ship, or handle repeated use.
Deadline
When the finished pieces need to be ready or delivered.
Connected Services
Mounting often sits in the middle of a larger finishing sequence.
Printing, mounting, surface finishing, cutting, assembly, and distribution can all be planned together.
FAQs
Print mounting questions.
What is print mounting?
Print mounting bonds a printed sheet to another sheet, chipboard, board, or other suitable backing to create additional thickness or structural support.
What materials can print be mounted to?
Depending on the job, print may be mounted to another printed sheet, chipboard, board, or another suitable rigid backing. The correct material depends on thickness, use, finishing, and construction.
Can Voom make extra-thick business cards?
Yes. Multiple printed sheets can be mounted together for extra-thick, duplex, or layered business card constructions.

Often, yes. The finished material, total thickness, desired shape, and cut details need to be reviewed to determine the appropriate method.
Can Voom produce counter cards and tabletop displays?
Yes. Voom can print, mount, trim, finish, assemble, and pack many counter and tabletop pieces.
What should I send for a mounting quote?
Send the finished size, quantity, artwork, desired thickness if known, final use, finishing requirements, and deadline.
