An Acrylic Photo Panel, commonly known as an Acrylic Print, is a premium wall art solution designed to display your images with a sleek, frameless, "floating" effect. Unlike standard framing, acrylic mounting creates a modern, high-definition look that brings your photography to life.

The Acrylic Mounting Online Difference

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we specialize in professional-grade production. Our process involves printing your image on high-quality High Gloss or Metallic photographic paper using 12-color pigment ink printers.

We then face-mount the print onto the back of a crystal-clear acrylic panel using an ultra-clear, double-sided adhesive film. This edge-to-edge mounting technique results in a sharp, high-definition finish that traditional direct-to-surface printing cannot match.

Why Choose Acrylic Photo Panels?

• Enhanced Vibrancy and Depth: The acrylic panel acts as a lens, intensifying colors and creating a stunning 3D effect that makes your images "pop."

• Superior Durability: Acrylic is shatter-resistant and significantly lighter than traditional glass. It also provides natural UV protection, preventing your artwork from fading over time.

• Modern Aesthetic: With a sleek, frameless design, these prints are perfect for contemporary decor. All our panels come with hooks for installation to create a seamless floating effect on your wall.

• Ultimate Protection: The acrylic layer shields your print from dust, moisture, and scratches, ensuring it remains in pristine condition.

• 75-Year No-Fade Warranty: Because we use archival-quality pigment inks and specialized face-mounting, we offer a 75-year fade-proof guarantee on all our prints.

An Acrylic Mounting Photo Block is a premium, freestanding display that offers a modern alternative to traditional framing. Unlike standard prints, these blocks do not require wall mounting or external frames, making them a sleek addition to any desk, shelf, or mantelpiece.

How Acrylic Photo Blocks Are Made

To achieve a high-definition finish, your image is first printed on professional High Gloss or Metallic photographic paper using advanced 12-color pigment ink printers.

The print is then face-mounted to the back of a solid, clear acrylic block (ranging from 20mm to 40mm thick) using an ultra-clear, double-sided adhesive film. This process creates a sharp, edge-to-edge "floating" effect that enhances the depth and color of your photography

Key Features & Benefits

• Freestanding Design: With a sturdy width of up to 40mm, these blocks stand perfectly on their own—no hardware or stands required.

• 3D Depth Effect: The thick, polished acrylic creates a glass-like finish that pulls light into the print, adding a vibrant, three-dimensional look

• Durability & Protection: The acrylic layer acts as a rugged shield, protecting your cherished memories from dust, moisture, and accidental scratches.

• 75-Year Fade Warranty: Using archival-quality pigment inks ensures your print remains vivid for decades. We offer a 75-year no-fading warranty on all our acrylic prints

Available Sizes and Styles

We offer a versatile range of sizes in both square and rectangular formats to suit any space.

Expert Tip: To see the high-gloss finish and depth in action, we recommend viewing our product videos or visiting our Instagram and YouTube pages for a closer look at the 3D effect.

When investing in Acrylic Prints or Acrylic Photo Blocks, not all products are created equal. To ensure you receive a gallery-quality piece that stands the test of time, look for these three key technical indicators:

1. The Printing Process: Pigment Ink vs. Solvent Ink

The most critical factor is the type of ink used. Premium, fine art acrylic prints should be produced using pigment-based inks on high-quality photographic paper.

Many budget-friendly companies use solvent-based inks—a standard in the signage industry, but not the photographic industry. Pigment inks offer superior colour accuracy and longevity, ensuring your artwork doesn't fade.

2. Professional Face-Mounting Technique

For true depth and "pop," the image must be face-mounted. This process involves adhering a high-resolution photographic print directly to the back of the acrylic block. When light enters through the edges of the acrylic and reflects off the print, it creates a stunning 3D effect that you simply cannot get with cheaper methods.

3. Avoid "Direct-to-Acrylic" Printing

If a company prints directly onto the acrylic surface using latex or solvent inks, the quality will be significantly lower. Compared to traditional photographic paper prints, direct-to-acrylic methods often result in:

• Lower resolution and lost detail.
• Reduced colour vibrancy.
• A lack of visual depth and "shimmer."

Pro Tip: Always ask if the product is "Face-Mounted" or "Direct-Print." For a premium, archival-quality finish, Face-Mounting is the industry gold standard.

Ordering high-quality acrylic photo prints or acrylic photo blocks at Acrylic Mounting Online is a seamless process. Whether you want to showcase a memory on your wall or a desk, follow these four simple steps to bring your vision to life.

Step 1: Select Your Product

First, choose how you would like to display your image. We offer a variety of premium options for both wall-mounting and tabletop displays:

• Acrylic Photo Panels: Sleek, modern wall art.
• Acrylic Photo Blocks: Perfect for desks, mantels, and shelves.
• Acrylic Panels with Standoffs: For a sophisticated, floating architectural look.
• Acrylic Frames: A classic yet contemporary border for your photos.
• Acrylic Transparent Prints: Unique, light-catching displays.

Step 2: Choose Your Size

We offer a wide range of popular standard sizes directly on our website.

Need a Custom Size? If our standard options don’t fit your specific requirements, we can create a bespoke piece for you. Simply [contact us via email] with your desired dimensions, and we will provide a personalized quote for your custom acrylic print.

Step 3: Upload Your Image

During the checkout process, you can easily upload your high-resolution image.

• Via Email: If it’s more convenient, you can email us your file after completing your order.
• Large Files: For very large files, we recommend using a file-sharing service (like WeTransfer or Dropbox). If you run into any technical snags, let us know—we’ll work together to ensure your image is received in the highest quality possible.

Step 4: Checkout and Payment

Once your products are selected and your images are ready, proceed to our secure checkout. Your shipping quote will be calculated and displayed before you finalize your payment. We accept various payment methods to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Acrylic Prints and Photo Blocks (often referred to as Acrylic Mounting) are high-end wall art pieces. Unlike standard framing, these pieces involve a photographic image "reverse-face mounted" behind a solid sheet of premium acrylic plastic.

At Acrylic Mounting Online we use acrylic as a superior alternative to glass because it is lightweight, shatterproof, and offers incredible optical depth. While large panels can have a slight natural flex, our professional aluminium support frames minimize bowing over time, ensuring your art remains pristine for years.

1. The Acrylic Sheet (Polymethyl Methacrylate)

The core of every print is a sheet of high-grade acrylic (scientific name: PMMA). While it looks exactly like glass, it offers distinct advantages in durability and clarity.

• Optical Clarity: Our acrylic is crystal clear, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the vibrant colours of your image.
• Variable Thickness: We offer 4.5mm or 6mm panels for wall-mounted art. For self-standing Acrylic Photo Blocks, we use a substantial 20mm to 40mm thickness to create a striking 3D effect.
• Finished Edges: Every piece features a professional finish. Our acrylic panels are precision laser-cut, while our photo blocks are diamond-polished and flame-treated for a high-gloss, premium edge.

2. The Print Layer: Premium vs. Standard

The quality of an acrylic print depends heavily on the printing method. We specialize in the Fine Art approach.

• The Premium Option (Face-Mounting): This is our specialty. We print your image onto high-gloss or metallic photographic paper using 12-color pigment ink printers. The print is then bonded to the back of the acrylic using a pH-neutral, optically clear adhesive. This method delivers the highest resolution, most vibrant colours, and greatest detail possible.
• The Budget Option (Direct-to-Acrylic): Common in the signage industry, this involves printing directly onto the plastic using UV or solvent inks. While cost-effective, it uses fewer colour pigments and lacks the depth and "pop" of a true fine-art face-mount.

3. Backing and Professional Mounting

To protect the artwork and prepare it for display, we use a multi-layered finishing process:

• Protective Backing: A thin layer of 3M white vinyl is applied to the back of the print. This protects the ink and paper, ensuring your art lasts for decades indoors.
• Mounting Hardware: For a modern look, we use an aluminium channel frame that allows the print to "float" off the wall. Alternatively, we offer metal standoffs (bolts) that secure the piece through the corners for a contemporary, industrial aesthetic.

In the world of professional acrylic printing, the thickness of the panel does more than just hold the image—it defines the visual depth, the mounting stability, and the overall durability of your art.

Thicker acrylic sheets create a stunning "3D" depth and ensure the panel remains perfectly flat. Conversely, we do not recommend panels 3mm or thinner for standalone prints, as they are prone to bowing and can distort your image over time.

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we offer the following premium thickness options to ensure your artwork looks its best:

4.5mm Acrylic (The Professional Standard)

This is our most popular thickness and comes standard with all our acrylic prints. It strikes the perfect balance between high-end aesthetics and practical display.

• Depth & Rigidity: Provides a noticeable "pop" and structural stiffness without excessive weight.
• Best Use: Ideal for face-mount images and mid-to-large-size wall art.
• Versatility: Compatible with most standard mounting systems.

6.mm Acrylic (Premium Gallery-Grade)

For those seeking a true masterpiece look, our 6mm upgrade offers an extra layer of luxury and presence.

• Enhanced Depth: The thicker edge creates a more immersive, refractive quality inside the acrylic.
• Superior Rigidity: Added thickness ensures the print remains perfectly rigid, even in larger formats.
• Best Use: Primarily used for premium face-mounted prints where a gallery-grade finish is required.

Note on 3mm Acrylic

While common with cheaper prints in the industry, we do not offer 3mm acrylic for standalone prints. At this thickness, panels lack the structural integrity needed for long-term display. We only utilize 3mm panels for our acrylic frames, where the image is securely wedged between two sheets for support.

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we specialize in providing flexible sizing to ensure your art fits your space perfectly. We offer both fully custom dimensions and a range of popular standard sizes.

Installing your new acrylic wall art is a straightforward process. At Acrylic Mounting Online, we provide the necessary hanging hardware free of charge with every order to ensure your photo panel is displayed securely.

Included Hanging Hardware

• Standard Sizes: We provide high-quality picture framing hooks.
• Large Format Prints: For our larger acrylic panels, we include special custom-made brackets designed to support the additional weight.

Installation Guide

To hang your panel, you will need to line up two or more hooks (depending on the size of your print) and secure them into your wall.

Important Note on Wall Fasteners: While we provide the hooks, screws and wall plugs are not included. Because every home is different, you will need to select the correct fasteners for your specific wall type (e.g., plasterboard vs. brick). We recommend consulting your local hardware store to ensure you have the right load-bearing screws for your wall.

Alternative Hanging Options (Small Panels)

For smaller acrylic prints, 3M Command strips or hangers can be a great damage-free option. However, please check the weight capacity on the 3M packaging and compare it to your photo panel to ensure a secure hold.

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we are committed to providing the highest quality at the best value. We don’t just match our competitors—we will beat any genuine competitor’s quote by 10%.

How to Claim Your 10% Discount

To request a price beat, please email our team at sales@acrylicmounting.com.au with the following details:

1. Competitor’s Website: A link to the specific product.
2. Total Quote: A copy of the final price, including all shipping and handling costs.

The Quality Standard: Face-Mounting vs. Direct Printing

To be eligible for a price match, the competitor’s product must be of the same professional grade as our Acrylic Face-Mounting.

Important Differentiation: We only price-match products that use the Face-Mounting process. This involves printing your image onto high-quality, high-gloss, or metallic photo paper and then reverse-mounting it to the back of the acrylic.

Why We Do Not Match "Direct-to-Acrylic" Prints

Many cheaper alternatives use UV or solvent-based signage printers to print directly onto the back of the acrylic sheet. We do NOT price match these products because they are a fundamentally different (and lower quality) product:

• Lower Resolution: Signage printers are designed for distance viewing, not fine art.
• Fewer Colour Pigments: Direct printing often lacks the depth, vibrancy, and "pop" of a true metallic photo print.
• Durability Issues: Direct-to-acrylic ink is more prone to scratching and peeling compared to a sealed face-mount.

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we specialize in Fine Art Acrylic Mounting, ensuring your memories are preserved with museum-grade clarity.

At Acrylic Mounting Online, we don't just create beautiful art—we build it to last a lifetime. We are proud to offer some of the most comprehensive warranties in the Australian market, giving you total peace of mind for your investment.

Our Triple-Shield Guarantee

We back our craftsmanship with three distinct, long-term warranties:

1. 75-Year No-Fade & No-Discolouration Guarantee Your memories deserve to stay vibrant. We guarantee that your prints will resist fading and maintain their original colour integrity for 75 years.
2. Lifetime "No-Yellowing" Warranty Unlike cheaper plastics used in the signage industry, we use premium-grade acrylic that is guaranteed never to yellow or cloud over time.
3. Lifetime Hanging System Warranty We stand by the strength of our hardware. Whether you use our framing hooks or standoff bolts, our hanging systems are covered for life.

How to Maintain Your Warranty

To ensure your acrylic prints remain in pristine condition and qualify for these guarantees, please adhere to our Maintenance and Care Requirements.

Quick Tip: To keep your acrylic looking its best, only use a soft microfibre cloth and specialized acrylic cleaner. Avoid harsh household chemicals or glass cleaners (like Windex), as these can damage the surface over time.

Our Acrylic Mounting Frames offer a sophisticated, modern look by "floating" your artwork off the wall. This is achieved using high-quality stainless steel standoff bolts, which are included with every order.

What’s Included in Your Hanging Kit

When you order an Acrylic Frame online, we provide everything you need for a standard installation:

• Standoff Bolts: A complete set of decorative mounting hardware.
• Screws & Wall Plugs: Specifically selected to be suitable for plasterboard walls.

Installation via Standoff Bolts

Unlike traditional hidden hooks, standoff bolts are visible on the corners of the frame, providing a sleek, industrial aesthetic. To install your frame:

1. Mark the position of the standoff holes on your wall.
2. Secure the wall plugs and screw the standoff bases into place.
3. Position the acrylic panels and hand-tighten the decorative caps.

Note for Masonry Walls: If you are mounting your frame to a brick or concrete wall, please visit your local hardware store to pick up specialized masonry plugs, as the included plugs are designed for plasterboard.
