Showgard Mounts
Discriminating collectors require that their investment is kept safe from damage due to dust, dirt, humidity and the wear and tear of time. Showgard mounts feature the foil proven safe for philatelic use for over 50 years in every climate of the world. Use Showgard mounts with confidence. They are the choice of experienced collectors and a symbol of trustworthiness throughout the world.

Use our U.S. Stamp Mount Size Guide as a handy reference to the required mounts for specific stamps. Guidance is given for specific types of stamps, as well as all issues by year for modern stamps beginning in 1945.

Showgard Mounts are available in Pre-Cut sizes for convenient mounting of the popular sized stamps. Greater economy and flexibility can be obtained by using strips, which come in three different lengths: 215mm, 240mm, and 264mm. A Philatelic Guilletine will provide a clean and straight cut of strips to exact the fit for your stamps.

The strip you should use is based on the height of the stamp you wish to mount, measured in millimeters (mm). For more information on how to use the Showgard Mounts we provide a helpful Showgard Tutorial as a quick reference.
