What are the biggest selling colours for photographers who re-sell? Here are our current top five.

Photographers key colours are all available in standard or acid free board - you choose. These are our best sellers. We recommend acid free white core for the best presentation.

Antique White	Smooth Black	White	Cream	cream textured

Obviously your choice of colour for you mounts depends on your own taste, or local market if you are selling, but the above colours are based on what we send to photographers all over the UK, from the Scilly Isles right down in the south west to Unst in the Shetlands and all places in between. There are good savings to be had buying these in bulk (10s, 50s, 100s) but we recommend that you first try a sampler pack or individual mounts if you are not sure. See some of our photographers work in our links pages. Don't forget the backing boards if required!

Generally we recommend acid free white core boards for photography mounts. Not only do these give great protection to photos, but the white core adds to the presentation, particularly if your photos are in an exhibition or shop browser alongside someone else's work. Standard boards have a slightly cream core. Some people do prefer the "natural" cream core boards, but we always advise that they are not suitable for valuable pictures, or items which cannot be replaced, or for long term protection.


Double mounts with contrasting inner colour can be most effective! Here is a photo in a plain white mount (its taken at Canary Wharf)	You can order our standard size mounts, or custom mounts which will fit into standard (off the shelf) frames. This is a great help if you are selling mounted prints, as the customer does not have to worry about the cost of framing too much. Of course, you can always fit them into ready made frames yourself. Standardisation gives you the extra benefit of being able to swap photos around in frames, which means that you do not have to outlay on a large stock of frames. Frames to match the following standard picture and photo mount sizes are readily available high street outlets, photographic dealers, and some big-box DIY and furnishing warehouses. The big outlets may keep only the metric sizes, or a mix of both. The UK frame market has fairly well accepted 40x30cm and 50x40cm as a replacement/alternative to the traditional 16x12 and 20x16 inch sizes. The two sizes are fairly close - so measure your frames carefully before ordering mounts! Imperial Frame Sizes (INCHES): 6x4 inches, 7x5 inches, 8x6 inches, 9x7 inches, 10x8 inches, 12x8 inches (12x8 is a common photographic print size) 12x10 inches, 14x10 inches, 14x11 inches, 16x12 inches, 20x16 inches, 20x24 inches, 30x20, 30x24 inches. Metric Frame Sizes: (CM) 15x10cm, 25x20cm, 30x25cm, 40x30cm, 45x30cm, 50x40cm, 70x50cm - 70x50cm is a popular print and poster size - 30x30 and 40x40cm square frames are becoming available in many outlets.
same photo - double mount, white with a grey inner mount.	Whatever level of photography you are at, mounting your photographs for display is a great way of presenting and preserving your work. If you are re-selling, particularly via other peoples shops, you do need to wrap them. Clear cellophane on the roll is economical and very good looking. You simply wrap the mounted photo, and tape up the back with clear tape. Job done. If you need to see how to fix a picture into a mount, see our mounts FAQ. Here are the essentials! You should never use sellotape or similar to attach your picture behind the window. Likewise you should never use masking tape. It is designed only to be temporary � these type of products designed for other applications will quickly damage your picture and not stay stuck for as long as you think. Gum tape is best. Fix the picture at its top only (the correct way). This way it will fit and stay flat behind the window of the mount, You should not fix it all the way round. If you are reselling your pictures you should fit a backing to the mount, the usual method is with double sided tape. Daylight and strong sunlight (in fact any light) will fade your mounts and photos! Keep this in mind when placing the price stickers etc if putting them in shop windows, and rotate the stock regularly!
