Picture Frame Backing Board Types Explained

Backing boards are a supportive board that goes directly behind your art. It gives your artwork rigidity. For example, a poster might naturally want to sag or buckle, but a backing board will help sandwich the thin poster paper in place.

Many of our backing board options are also functional for other projects, but typically they are utilized by customers looking for supportive backing to go behind their art. We offer 11 types of backing board, and another video explains the different characteristics of each of these individual products.
