Product Information
Full details
This guide is for archivists, photographers, and hobbyists seeking to safely mount photos and prints without direct adhesive contact. The key benefit is the acid-free, non-yellowing adhesive that protects artwork over time, ensuring longevity. A potential consideration is the glossy finish, which may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences. These clear polypropylene corners provide a full-view mount using a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that never touches your valuable images, making them ideal for framing, display, and preservation projects.

FAQs
Are these corners truly acid-free?
Yes, the corners are made of acid-free polypropylene, and the adhesive is archival quality and non-yellowing, ensuring the long-term safety of your artwork.
Will the adhesive damage my photos?
No, the design ensures the pressure-sensitive adhesive only contacts the mounting surface (like a backing board) and not the image itself. The adhesive is also non-yellowing and non-damaging.
What is the size of each corner?
Each corner is 3.2 cm (1.25 inches) and provides a full view of the image it holds.
How many corners are in a pack?
Each pack contains 256 clear mounting corners.
Can I use these for framing?
Yes, they are ideal for framing as they securely hold prints to mat boards or backing without the need for damaging adhesives near the image.
Are they difficult to apply?
No, they use a simple pressure-sensitive adhesive, making them easy to apply for users of all skill levels.
What is the finish of the corners?
The corners have a clear, glossy finish.
Troubleshooting
Corners not sticking well
Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application to ensure proper adhesion. Ensure the protective backing was fully removed before application.
Adhesive seems weak or gummy
This may indicate the adhesive has degraded due to age or improper storage. Ensure the product has not expired and is stored in a cool, dry environment. Try a corner from the middle of the pack, as edge ones may be more exposed.
Corner accidentally placed incorrectly
Attempt to gently lift and reposition immediately after application. If the adhesive has set, slowly peel it back. Be aware that repositioning may reduce adhesive strength or slightly damage the print surface or corner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully remove a mounting corner from the sheet.
- Gently peel the protective backing off the adhesive strip on the back of the corner.
- Position the corner over the desired area on the back of your photograph or print, ensuring the image side faces down.
- Press the corner firmly onto the print's edge or corner.
- Repeat for all desired corners. For mounting to a backing board, apply the other half of the corner's adhesive to the backing material.
Compatibility:
These mounting corners are compatible with most standard photographic prints, fine art papers, and digital prints. They can be adhered to various backing materials including mat board, foam core, and archival paper.
Care:
Store unused corners in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean applied corners with a dry, soft cloth if necessary; avoid moisture or cleaning agents as they can degrade the adhesive and material.
