Turn a Photo Into a Print That Stands on Its Own
A mounted print takes your photo or artwork and bonds it to a rigid 3/16" foam core board, so it props on an easel, leans on a shelf, or hangs flat on a wall with no frame and no glass. Instead of a loose sheet that curls and needs framing to look finished, you get a clean, rigid board that shows up ready to display the second it lands. A single 8" x 10" starts at $39.99, printed by a shop that has been at it since 1999.
A mounted print costs far less than a framed one, ships light, and the foam core holds even a 40" x 60" photo flat. Want to see how mounted prints sit next to the rest of the wall-print lineup? Browse the range on mounted prints printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
What Is a Mounted Print
Your photo or artwork prints full color on 1 of 3 paper stocks, and we bond it to a 3/16" white or black foam core board, in 12 sizes from 8" x 10" to a custom 40" x 60". Add single-sided gloss lamination if you like, and set all of it in the live configurator.
You upload your photo or artwork, choose the paper stock, pick white or black foam core backing, decide whether to add gloss lamination, and set the size, and the price updates as you go. The board is what does the work: it keeps the print rigid enough to prop on an easel and light enough to ship without damage. The poster version of this same mounting lives beside it as the Mounted Posters, built for signage and marketing rather than gallery walls.
How Much Do Mounted Prints Cost
Mounted prints start at $39.99 for a single 8" x 10" print at 4OVER4. The total moves with the size you choose, the paper stock, whether you add single-sided gloss lamination, and the turnaround speed. You can order from 1 to 100 mounted prints, and the configurator shows the exact price before you check out.
The entry price is $39.99 for one 8" x 10" mounted print. Step up to a larger size and the price rises with the board and the ink, so a 16" x 20" costs more than an 8" x 10", and a custom 40" x 60" more again. Adding a 3 mil gloss lamination for extra protection or moving to a rush speed also shifts the total, and you see every change in real time before you commit.

What Sizes Do Mounted Prints Come In
4OVER4 mounted prints come in 12 sizes. The default is 8" x 10", with larger options like 16" x 20", 18" x 24", and 20" x 24", and you can order a custom size up to 40" x 60". You set the size in the configurator and the price follows it.
Pick the size by the wall or shelf it goes on. An 8" x 10" sits on a desk, a shelf, or a counter, small enough to display without an easel. A 16" x 20", 18" x 24", or 20" x 24" steps up to gallery and wall size, big enough to anchor a room or fill a lobby. And when you want a real statement piece for a trade show wall or an entryway, a custom size climbs all the way to 40" x 60". Because the foam core keeps even the large boards light and rigid, the big sizes stay easy to carry, ship, and set up.
Wally mounts your print on a board that stands on its own
Why a mounted print shows up ready to display, no frame required.
A mounted print bonds your photo or artwork to a rigid 3/16 inch foam core board, so it props on an easel or hangs flat with no frame and no glass. Order one from $39.99 in 12 sizes up to a custom 40 by 60 inch, pick white or black backing, and Wally has it printed and ready as fast as same day.
What Paper Stocks and Mounting Can You Choose
For a photo or an art print you pick the paper (10.4 mil Semi Gloss, 10.4 mil Hi Gloss or 32 lb Bright White Uncoated), the backing (3/16" foam core in white or black) and the surface (bare, or a single-sided 3 mil gloss lamination for scuff and moisture protection).
A portrait hung across from a window reads best on the 10.4 mil Semi Gloss, which keeps color rich with low glare. A landscape photo or a bold painting reproduction gets the most saturation from the 10.4 mil Hi Gloss. A black and white photo or a watercolor looks right on the 32 lb Bright White Uncoated, a matte sheet with no glare in soft light. Then the backing: a white foam core keeps the edge invisible, while a black foam core gives the board a crisp, framed-in look from the side. Add a single-sided 3 mil gloss lamination when the print gets handled or lives in a high-touch spot, or skip it to keep the total lower. If a bare foam core board is the whole point, the Foam Core prints are built around exactly that.
How Fast Can You Get Mounted Prints Printed
4OVER4 prints mounted prints on 5 turnaround speeds, from Same-Day out of the New York City facility to a standard 4 business days, with 3-day, 2-day, and Next-Day options in between. You pick the speed in the configurator, and faster options adjust the price. Same-Day orders need approval by noon EST to ship that day.
Standard production is 4 business days and keeps the price lowest. When the timeline tightens, 3-day, 2-day, and Next-Day sit in the middle, and Same-Day printing exists for the deadline that is tomorrow. You also choose how the file gets handled: Straight To Production moves the job the moment you order, or a Free Online Proof lets you approve the layout first. Across the board, 99.8 percent of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time and 82 percent ship early.
What Do People Use Mounted Prints For
Mounted prints work as gallery and wall art, framed-look photography and portraits, home and office decor, presentation and pitch boards, event and welcome signage, and real estate display prints. Because the foam core backing is rigid and lightweight, a mounted print props on an easel or hangs flat without a frame.
Photographers and artists order mounted prints when they want a framed-look wall piece without the framing bill. Families print portraits and travel photos that hang flat and stay put. Offices and lobbies use them for decor and branded art that will not curl. In a boardroom a mounted print turns a key slide into a physical board you can prop on a rail or pass around, and event planners use them for welcome and directional signage. The board ships light, survives the trip and goes on the wall the day it arrives. If you want an edge treatment built in, the Framed Prints add a border around the same idea.

Keeping a Mounted Print Flat and Clean
The board does the preserving. A 3/16" foam core backing holds the print rigid, so it will not curl or ripple the way a loose sheet does, and it stays light enough that even a 40" x 60" piece carries and ships without a crate around it.
The surface is the choice you still have to make. A single sided 3 mil gloss lamination adds scuff and moisture protection, which is worth taking on anything handled, propped on a rail in a boardroom, or carried between events. Skip it and the total stays lower, which suits a print that goes onto a wall once and stays there. Stock matters too. The 32 lb Bright White Uncoated is the matte option with the least reflection, while the 10.4 mil Hi Gloss pushes saturation and shine hardest. A black foam core gives the board a crisp framed look from the side, and a white one keeps the visible edge bright.
Mounted Prints: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a frame for a mounted print?
No. The artwork is bonded to a rigid 3/16 inch foam core board, so it hangs flat on a wall or props on an easel with no frame and no glass. That is also why it costs far less than a framed print of the same size.
What sizes are available?
Twelve sizes, from an 8 inch by 10 inch tabletop print up to a custom 40 inch by 60 inch piece. Prices update live as you select, so a large wall piece and a small desk print can be compared before you order.
Which stock should I pick for a photograph?
There are three: 10.4 mil Semi Gloss, 10.4 mil Hi Gloss, and 32 lb Bright White Uncoated. Hi Gloss pushes contrast and saturation hardest, Semi Gloss sits between shine and glare control, and the uncoated stock gives a matte look with the least reflection.
Does the foam core board come in black?
Yes, the 3/16 inch foam core backing is offered in white or black. Black tends to disappear against a dark wall while white keeps the visible edge bright, so it comes down to where the print will hang.
Will a large print stay flat?
That is the point of the mounting. The foam core keeps even a large print rigid, so it will not curl or ripple the way a loose sheet does. The boards also stay light, so they carry and ship easily for their size.
How quickly can I get one?
Standard production is 4 business days, with 3 day, 2 day, Next Day, and Same Day rush available. A single 8 inch by 10 inch starts at $39.99, printed by a shop that has been at it since 1999.
What is the best way to mount a poster?
Bonding it to a rigid board is the method used here. The print mounts to a 3/16" foam core in white or black, which keeps it flat and lets it prop on an easel, lean on a shelf, or hang on a wall with no frame and no glass. That is also why it costs far less than framing a print of the same size. Add a single sided 3 mil gloss lamination if the piece will be handled, and pick from the 12 sizes, which run from 8" x 10" up to a custom 40" x 60".
What is the difference between a mounted print and a mounted poster?
The mounting is the same idea and the intent is different. Mounted prints are built for gallery and wall work, photographs, artwork and portraits that hang flat without a frame, on a 10.4 mil Semi Gloss, 10.4 mil Hi Gloss or 32 lb Bright White Uncoated stock. Mounted posters are the version of the same board built for signage and marketing. If the board is going up as a picture, this is the product, and if it is going up as a sign, the poster version sits right beside it.
