Mounting & Laminating

Mounting is more than a finishing step—it’s part of the presentation. At Total Image Works, we offer museum-grade mounting and lamination services trusted by leading artists, galleries, and collectors.

Whether you’re preparing for a major exhibition, a corporate installation, or simply want your work to look its best on the wall, our expert team delivers clean, professional results with lasting durability.

The Signature Finish of Edward Burtynsky

For decades, Edward Burtynsky, one of our founders, has trusted the Total team to produce his signature presentation style: a photographic gloss print mounted on Dibond with an art matte laminate. Sleek, modern, and gallery-ready, this combination offers exceptional visual depth while protecting the image from UV, dust, and moisture and is archival to last decades without fading or changing in colour.

We bring this same level of care and precision to every artist we work with—whether you’re producing one piece or an entire edition.

Lamination & Finishing

Protect your prints with our professional lamination services. We offer matte laminate finishes up to 60″ x 120″, which not only preserve your work but give it a refined, non-reflective surface ideal for gallery display or high-traffic environments.

Acrylic Facemounting

For a high-impact, contemporary look, we offer facemounting to acrylic—a premium process that sandwiches your print between acrylic and a rigid backer, creating depth, brilliance, and a seamless edge.

Available facemount options:

  • 3mm Acrylic Facemount (up to 60″ x 120″)
  • 3mm Non-Glare Acrylic Facemount (up to 48″ x 96″)
  • 6mm Acrylic Facemount (up to 48″ x 96″)

Each facemount is hand-assembled with absolute precision in a clean, dust-controlled environment.
