Self-Adhesive Board — Professional Mounting for Picture Framers
A well-mounted photograph or poster makes all the difference. Self-adhesive board gives your work a smooth, flat and crease-free finish — whether it ends up in a frame or displayed directly on the wall. At Cami, we supply professional picture framers with a complete range of self-adhesive boards to suit every application and format.

Self-adhesive board uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive that activates at room temperature. You can apply it by hand or use an electric laminator for larger or more demanding work. A few tips for a perfect result every time:
-
Never mount original artwork, valuable documents or limited editions on self-adhesive board.
-
Work in a clean, grease-free and dust-free environment — photographs and self-adhesive surfaces are both susceptible to static electricity.
-
Allow your board and photograph or poster to acclimatise in the same space before mounting. This prevents air bubbles and creasing. The recommended humidity is 55–60% and the ideal temperature is 20°C.
-
Be cautious with digital prints — the paper is very dry and needs to be in balance with its surroundings. Always do a test first.
-
When applying, pull back a corner of the release paper and position your work carefully. Do not touch the adhesive layer — this reduces adhesion strength. Once positioned, pull away the full top edge and press down firmly from the centre outward, using a laminator or wide hand roller.
