Backing Board - Custom Packaging Solutions

Do You Know All About Backing Boards?

Backing boards provide structural support for delicate items like photographs and artworks, keeping them from tearing, bending, sagging, etc., even over a long period of time. When it comes to oversized items or items that may be transported frequently, the work of a backing board is more pronounced as the need to hold them up and transport them safely becomes critical. Another lesser-known use of backing boards is to create rigid panels to enable archival storage.

Whatever the use, backing boards are highly customisable. They do come in standard shapes and sizes, but being the flat and simple structures that they are, they can be tailored to fit the frame just perfectly and serve their purpose outright. Backing boards are generally square or rectangle, but irregular shapes are also common. Precision is key in the cutting and shaping of the backing boards to make sure they fit the frames perfectly. While choosing a backing board, one must also consider the weight of the item they are going to support, choosing larger and sturdier boards for larger and heavier items while also making sure that the frame they fit into is also well complemented.

These plain yet sturdy boards come in three types: cardboard backing boards, foam backing boards, and acid-free backing boards. At Jetbox, we specialise in cardboard backing boards that are sturdy, economical, and made by compressing and blending recycled paper. Foam backing boards are made by packing foam core in between two layers of paper, which gives them cushioning properties while being rigid as well. Acid-free backing boards are made using materials that are subjected to chemical treatment to neutralise their acidic nature. This is done to prevent any potential damage from the acids in the materials. Whatever the type of backing box, the materials and conditions of manufacturing must be carefully controlled to make the perfect board.

Despite their rigidity, backing boards are as versatile as they are flexible. They can be incorporated with special features like moisture-resistant coatings, additional protective layers, in-built mounting options, etc. Acid-free backing boards are ideal for archival purposes, as their acid-free properties keep the archived items from damage by chemicals. Inbuilt mounting options like slots or adhesive surfaces make it easy for the artwork or photograph to be attached to the board and ensure the longevity of the item. Such potential for special features makes backing boards not only a functional tool but a specialised one too.
