What is a multi aperture mount?
A multi aperture mount — often called a collage mount or photo collage mount — is a single mount board with two or more openings cut into it. Instead of hanging a cluster of separate frames, you can show a whole set of photos, prints or artwork together in one frame, neatly spaced and lined up.
Every mount we cut is custom made to your design. You choose the overall size to fit your frame, how many openings there are, how big each one is and exactly where it sits. Openings can be rectangles, squares, ovals or circles, and you can mix shapes on the same board. Each one is cut to the millimetre, so prints sit snugly behind the bevelled edges.
Popular uses for collage mounts
- Family photos — children, grandchildren or generations side by side
- Weddings and anniversaries — a main portrait with smaller moments around it
- Sports teams and school years — a grid of photos with a name panel
- Before and after — renovations, gardens, restorations
- Art series and triptychs — a matching set of prints shown as one piece
- Holidays and travel — a collection of favourite shots from one trip

Common questions
What is a multi aperture picture mount?
It is a single mount board with two or more openings (apertures) cut into it, so several photos, prints or pieces of artwork can be shown together in one frame. They are also called collage mounts, multi-opening mounts or multiple aperture mounts.
Can I choose the size and position of every opening?
Yes. Every opening can be its own size and placed anywhere on the mount. You can work in inches, centimetres or millimetres, and each mount is cut to the millimetre to your design.
Can the openings be different shapes?
Yes. Rectangles, squares, ovals and circles can all be mixed on the same mount, so you can have an oval centre piece surrounded by rectangular photos, for example.
Will the mount fit my existing frame?
Tell us the frame size (the size of the glass or backing board) and the mount is cut to that outer size, with the openings laid out to suit your pictures.
I am not sure how to design it. Can you do it for me?
Yes, free of charge and with no obligation. Describe what you want in your own words, attach a photo or sketch if it helps, and we will design the mount and email it back, usually within 2 to 3 hours.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Every mount is cut to order in West Yorkshire and posted out to customers throughout the UK.
