What is Plaque Mounting?
Plaque mounting (a/k/a plak mounting or block mounting) is a process whereby an image, such as a poster, photograph, or
a print, is laminated onto a substrate, to be hung as a wall decoration. The process begins with the image being
glued to a medium density fiberboard (MDF) or other similar product, which is custom cut to the size of your image.
The image is then covered with a laminate film and is placed in a press for heat setting. After the plaque is removed
and cooled, it is then run through an edging machine, which bevels the leading edge and applies a colored edge trim to the
piece. Next a router is used to cut a keyhole slot in the back of the piece, for hanging. The finished item is packaged
using specially designed corner protectors and shrink-wrap.
Many different substrates such as masonite, hardboard, cintra, foamcore, etc. may be used in the mounting process.
