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 Guillotine will provide a clean and straight cut of strips to exact the fit for your stamps. For your convenience we list mounts in categories by strip size, and here we show the entire list.
Single precut mounts are the easiest to use because there is no cutting. Available for the most popular sizes of U.S. Stamps, precut mounts offer a uniform size and precision square cut for best display of your stamps. Sizes are labeled as stamp width by stamp height, measured in millimeters. Select between black and clear background.
Showgard 215mm strips can be cut using a mount guillotine to accommodate a significant percentage of the stamps in your collection. Strip Sizes (in mm.)

Some issues of the U.S. stamp program are unique such that the necessary mount size may never be needed again. Rather than purchasing a complete packet only to use one and never use the rest, Showgard packages mounts specific to the unique requirements of some popular souvenir sheet issues in the quantity you need. Stamp collectors also need mounts for popular sizes. Showgard Pre-Cut Mounts eliminate the need for cutting your own.
Showgard Mount Sets offer useful groups of mounts in a convenient, organized fashion. Many collectors purchase an assortment package to begin mounting their collections, and restock the individual mounts as the assortment package supplies are exhausted. These packages also make an excellent gift for collectors just starting out.
