How long does the product last?

Now, nothing lasts forever, but we’ve been in business since 1975 and we still have pieces that look as good as new! However, the location and environment you choose to keep your product will affect its longevity. This is NOT an outdoor product!


How about irreplaceable items?

We suggest that original or irreplaceable items should not be submitted as dry-mounting and laminating are irreversible processes.


What type of image files do you accept?

We are able to accept multiple file types, however, JPEGs and PDFs are preferred.


How big can my (image) file be?

Your image should be formatted to the size you would like your print.


Is it possible to get a Plakmount that is larger than 30” x 40”?

Here at Plak-it® we do create pieces larger than 30” x 40”, however to avoid damages while in transit, we request that you give us a call to set up a pick up for anything larger.
