I've found collage on several web sites but can't seem to find any reference to "contre-collage".

Yes, I preferred mounting to lamination in this particular context as Dusty rightly pointed out that lamination is much rarer. Thanks to everyone for their help.

mounting

Explanation:
As Sue says, 'mounting' is another meaning of 'contre-coller', and frankly in this photographic context, seems to me infinitely more likely -- it is a VERY common activity in a photographic services lab, unlike lamination, which is comparatively rarer (unless for some specific purpose made clear by your wider context)
