We've sourced some really superb products to help you polish, preserve and present your images.
Most of these we use daily here in our own services work.
We also have an article with a lot of advice on packaging prints in general here:
We import the very best print bags made in the world (we'd love to go with an Australian option, but they're just not as good - we've looked!).
Beware of similar looking imitations - they're just not as crystal clear and true to your print colours as these bags. Made from intert BOPP plastic, these acid free bags are perfectly safe to store your images in for lengthy periods. There's enough room in the bags to insert acid free backing board or foamcore behind your print, which makes them perfect for contexts like market stall displays.
We've got you covered for all the standard A print sizes - A5, A4, A3, A3+, A2 and now available in A1!
Our card size bags are chosen to be a perfect match to our inkjet printable Artist's Cards. With just those two products you can easily make boutique, custom printed cards with sale-ready presentation.
We have archival white backing boards to use in combination with clear bags to present your fine art prints in a professional manner. They are available in 25 packs in A5, A4, A3, A3+ & A2 sizes.
Rigid mailers are an easy & economical way to send small prints. They're very very stiff, keeping your prints perfectly flat, and are available in A5, A4 and A3 sizes.
Protective and archival interleaving sheets are ideal for storing multiple prints in bags/boxes.
Rotatrim make the de facto industry standard rotary trimmers (guillotines). By utilising only the finest quality and precision engineered components, which are then hand assembled by skilled engineers, Rotatrim's range of precision trimmers are unrivalled in their quality, accuracy, reliability and longevity.
These professional-grade cutters by Rotatrim are an essential addition to any fine art printing business or studio and are available for various print sizes up to 1374mm (54") wide.
Hahnemühle now have an excellent and easy solution to the classic 'which pen to use' problem.
A quality cutting mat is an essential accessory for any fine art printer, home studio or crafter where cutting and trimming is part of the creative workflow.
Our Ilford Rotatrim mats are self-healing, meaning they are durable, will appear like new for longer, and won't dull your knife blade as quickly as other cutting surfaces. They are also excellent for protecting your bench or workspace, with the monochrome design of the mat making for a stylish and uniform appearance.
If you need to coat your prints or canvasses for extra protection, these are great products to choose. Archival tested, and easy to apply.
Of course, as with any product like this, test & perfect your technique on spare materials before you coat your valuable prints. The secret is (nearly always) less is more. And use a proper sprayer or high density foam roller.
The protective spray is invisible on everything except gloss materials, and is really a sealant for your prints - helping them to further resist atmospheric pollutants like ozone (tests show prints last as much as double the time with this spray in unframed tests).
The varnish/liquid laminate is typically used with canvas prints only, and is a thicker visible coating. We like the matte coating the most, but you can even mix the three types to get just the right level of gloss you're after.
