Yeah Amazon has some surprisingly good options for different frames, I'd recommend looking around there.

E: I've bought these a few times in the past and they're great.

I would buy the biggest photo corners your mat will allow for. That should help hold it initially and then once it's in the frame for a while it should be fine. And I would leave the back accessible (don't staple on paper or whatever) so you can easily fix if it does slip.

Edit: You can also use something like this on the edges. Basically the same concept as photo corners.

Framers Tape II Archival Grade Self-Adhesive Acid Free Tape (1" x 180 ft) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QPB4XXC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0qHqDbPXVNM1W


So this will do it?

Thanks a lot for the help

No problem happy it helped. And hey if you decided against going the luan route because of the acid in the wood, you can always wrap the edges in acid free tape and either spray the surface faceing the artwork with an acid free framing paint, https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-Make-Acid-Free-Spray-6-Ounce/product-reviews/B000S10OGQ, or just cover it witch acid free mat or paper.

I feel the glass would cause more problems overall. It'd be heavier, and if it were to fall you'd have broken glass on both sides of the print.

For backers, are you looking at something like foam boards? I used to work at Aaron Brothers before they merged into Michael's, and you could buy full sheets of board from them.

32x40 sheets were about $12 if I recall; to save money you could maybe piece together the 27x41 to get the last inch, or buy the next board size up (which might be better since it sounds like you have multiple things to frame).

They also have the backing paper that seals the frame, and is usually on a roll like this, specifically the blue-grey color. That was sold ~50c a yard, and I haven't looked very hard to get it in bulk. I always saw it referred to as "preservation sealing paper" or "archival backing roll."

Glazing, they could sell you as well, but they may not be willing to sell you an entire box.

Those are good. Scotch has two great products too.
These are made to go in a tape gun too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CE418S8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Nf1.BbKHHSDBM

Otherwise, a PMA is like double sided tape, but in a large, wide roll

They’re called uni-frames. Come in all sorts of types but the most invisible are the 20 and 40 kits https://www.amazon.com/Uni-Frame-40-Acrylic-Frame-40X40/dp/B0027A3CRO
