8 PLY RAG MAT - Order Form
8 PLY RAG MAT - DOUBLE MAT Order Form
To order double mats, please first select the size of the bottom mat, then the color
of the top mat, the color of the bottom mat and the quantity. We cut double
mats with a 1/4 inch reveal between the top mat and bottom mat (1/2 inch larger
opening for the top mat). For example, if your bottom mat has an opening of
7.5x9.5 the top opening would be cut to 8x10
The top and bottom mats show up as different line items in the shopping
cart. If you make changes for quantities, you will need to change both
lines.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT
8 PLY: "it makes a more elegant presentation
for finer museum quality pieces"
"many people pass my photos down to their next generation
and want to preserve them for posterity. I also use the
black core 8 ply (conservation board) to add drama to
a piece."
" I like it! It gives a deep look without using a
double mat. Makes image look bigger and bolder, yet simple.
I especially like the dense, textured look of the white
bevel!"
| * Blanks
are matboard which has been cut to a specified outer
dimension, but with no opening. These are sometimes
used as backing, but more commonly used for customers
who wish to cut their own mats. |
