Vision Graphics offers clients a wide range of finishing options for their completed work. From the simplest mounting and laminating jobs through to canvas-stretching, print framing and mounting onto various material substrates and die-cut shapes – we can help.

Within these pages you’ll find prices and descriptions for some of the more common mounting and laminating materials, but there are too many to list here. Samples of all materials are available at both labs so you can easily visualise a particular finish for your job. If you have a special finishing requirement, please contact one of our sales staff. We’ll be happy to discuss your special requirements and help you achieve what you’re looking for.


Standard Finishing Options Available:

CARD (2mm WHITE)
A cost-effective and lightweight 2mm cardboard, suitable for semi-permanent displays where minimum weight and thickness is required.

  VG MOUNT
A premium, lightweight and robust board available in 10mm and 20mm. Finished with a black or white melamine edging.
CRAFTWOOD
A very stable 9mm mounting solution ideal for the long-term display of prints and artwork. Craftwood can be finished with a black melamine edging.
  FOREX (PVC)
Available in 3mm and 5mm thickness, this product is a flexible waterproof substrate which can be glued, screwed and nailed. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
FOAMBOARD
Available in 5mm and 10mm, this product is lightweight and cost-effective – ideal for inexpensive and simple display purposes. 10mm foamboard is recommended for larger sizes. (10mm also available in black)
  ACRYLIC
Available in 3mm and 6mm, this is a clear plastic that resembles glass but is many times stronger and much lighter. With polished edges, this material gives a superior result. Facemounted prints are placed on the back and viewed through the acrylic. Acrylic can also be drilled allowing placement of stand-off bolts for wall mounting.
IMAGEBOARD
5mm lightweight fluted board with a smooth surface, which can be utilised single or double-sided.
  ALUPANEL
Strong 3mm aluminium-skinned board with a smooth surface.
STYRENE
At 1mm, this thin material is flexible and can be rolled.
  COREFLUTE
5mm lightweight and cost-effective fluted board
MOUNT FILM
A high-strength, double-sided adhesive ready to mount onto your own choice of backing. A full cover film is added to the back of your print, with a second adhesive being covered by a release paper which is simply removed when the print is ready for mounting
 

COLD LAMINATION
Most suitable for protection of prints that will be mounted. Pressure-sensitive laminate is applied to the front of the print only.
Ideal for inkjet prints and other images that may be heat sensitive. Available in Gloss, Satin, Matt and Santex (stippled).

 

HOT LAMINATION
Ideal for protection of prints that will not be mounted. Suitable for photographic prints, posters, newspaper and laser prints.
Prints are encapsulated in laminate, offering protection from moisture, physical damage, dirt, harmful gases and UV light. Available in Gloss and Matt.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Storage and display – Vision Graphics advises careful storage and display of mounted and/or laminated material.
Direct sunlight, high heat and humidity will dry out the adhesive element of the laminate over time.
There is no guaranteed safe way of removing old laminate from a print. Vision Graphics will not undertake the removal of old/existing laminate for this reason.
UV protection specifications for laminated jobs are available at lab receptions.
Vision Graphics has its own fulltime in-house courier available for safe and secure work collection and/or delivery.
Our courier’s van has a maximum capacity of 2000mm (L) x 1200mm (W) x 1200mm (H) including any packaging.

Canvas Stretching Services
Vision Graphics can offer clients a canvas-stretching service to complement our canvas printing. We use a 30mm wood for most stretching work and a typical job takes 2-3 days.

36.00 Per Linear Metre (single side length up to 2 metres)

Example: 762mm x 508mm canvas:
762mm x 2 sides (1.52M) + 508mm x 2 sides (1.16M) gives a total of
2.68 linear metres x $36.00 = $96.48 (inc GST)
Note: there is an option to either have the white canvas (or another printed colour) wrap around the edge of the frame, or have the image itself wrap around. If you wish to have the image wrap around the frame, you will lose approximately 30mm* of the face image on all four sides.
The example shows how much image would be lost on a 20 x 30 inch print. Please factor this in when asking for (or setting up files for) an image wrap.

* Some larger canvas prints being stretched may need up to 50 - 60mm image on all four sides for wrapping.

If a single side length is longer than 2 metres, a heavier timber is used - please call for a quote.

A minimum charge of $36.00 applies to our Canvas Stretching service.
