Can you frame photo booth strips without damaging them?
Reviewed by Booth Beacon · Verified 2026-08-25
Quick Answer
Frame photo booth strips using custom vertical multi-aperture acid-free mats, archival mounting corners (never glue or double-sided tape), and 99% UV-protective museum glass with spacers to prevent the photo emulsion from touching the glass.
Full Answer
Direct contact between photographic gelatin and glass can cause the image to fuse permanently to the glass when humidity fluctuates. Use 100% cotton rag matboard with window cutouts and clear polypropylene mounting corners to hold strips securely without adhesive damage.
