Large print mounting

[cruisertoy]

So being so new to this photography thing I ordered several large prints, 30x40", a few weeks ago from WHCC.com and failed to think about how I was going to mount these. Do any of you mount your own prints to foam board or something similar? I did a Youtube search, but mostly saw people using large laminators. Any recomendations or tutorials on how to mount something this size? Thanks for the help. I'm excited to get these hung up. I had one printed on metalic paper and was shocked at how good it turned out.

If you're willing to lay down a chunk of change for a beautiful presentation I can't recommend Duraplaq enough. They've got several mounting options, my favorite of which are the Megaplaq and the Floatplaq. Maybe not exactly what you intended but thought I'd throw it out in case you'd never seen/heard of them. Good luck!

another option bring it to a local good framer and see what mounts or frames they have ? depending on what you want done with it ?

foam board warps usually something stiffer like gator for mounts

Interesting option with the Duraplaq. I had no idea there was foam board and Gator board. Gator was what I was thinking. I generally have built my own frames. my wife likes the rustic, beat up 2x4 look. I plane them down to about 3"x 1 1/4" so they are a little less lumber looking.
