Cardboard Frames

[zed]

Does anyone know if cardboard frames have their own name?

The things I'm talking about are usually used to sell/display watercolours/prints. Basically just a mount/mat/frame (whatever you call it in your part of the world!) with a card backing, open on one end to slide the print in.

Similar to those stand-along frames you used to get for school photos, but without the stand.

I've tried to search for them, but have only found print services offering them, as if they hand make them with the order. I don't know if they're just not generally available or if I just need the right name for them

Hmmm....aperture mounts ? Ring a print service and ask them what they are called maybe?

Not sure of any name for this besides matt with backing?

Good advice to phone a print service.

I did some googling and there are plenty of youtube videos demonstrating how to make your own custom ones, but oh boy does it take some time. There were a lot of references to "double matte".

Cheers everyone

I asked in our big craft shop the other day, they didn't know the name either. They suggested I ask at a Photographers, so I've got a few options.

I did see they had packs of the mountboard with adhesive, but that would only be usefull for permanent pieces. Might be useful though.

Could it be "passepartout"? There's no backing though, just the cardboard frame. I think.

Yeah, that's just the frame, but it's always good to know more terms
