Backing Board — Essential Protection for Prints, Photos & Artwork
Protect Prints, Photos & Artwork During Shipping
Our backing boards — also known as boxboard or mount board — provide the rigid support needed to keep prints, photographs, certificates, and artwork perfectly flat during shipping and storage. When paired with our postage boxes and resealable bags, they create a professional, presentation-ready package that arrives in pristine condition.
Available in Two Weights
- 700gsm — lighter and more flexible, ideal for supporting standard prints and documents during shipping
- 1400gsm — heavy duty rigid board for high-value artwork, photographs, and items that must not bend under any circumstances
Both weights are available across A5, A4, A3, A2, and A1 sizes — matching the full range of our postage boxes for a coordinated packaging solution.
Who Uses Backing Boards?
- Photographers — protecting prints during client delivery and storage
- Artists and illustrators — shipping original and limited edition works
- Online sellers — ensuring flat items arrive undamaged to customers
- Framing and gallery businesses — protecting artwork before and after framing
- Print-on-demand businesses — professional fulfilment of poster and print orders
Pair with Resealable Bags for a Complete Solution
For maximum protection and a polished retail presentation, slip your print and backing board into one of our resealable plastic bags before placing into a postage box. This three-part combination — bag, board, and box — is the standard packaging method used by professional photographers and print sellers across Australia.
