Pick the Right Pre Cut Mat Board for Your Work

When choosing pre cut mat board for your artwork, there are many things to keep in mind. The color and opening size are obvious factors, and probably the first that come to mind when you've finished a new piece. Other factors to consider are thickness and acidity since you want your artwork to look the best it can for as long as it can. At Matboard Plus, we carry several types of mats that will work with any size of painting or print.

The thickness of a mat can contribute to how professional a piece looks once it's hung or displayed. Often, the deeper a mat, the better it looks under gallery or museum lighting. A thicker mat is also sturdier, meaning it won't bend or warp easily when it's being moved or readjusted. When looking at acidity, you want a mat that won't break down quickly and negatively affect the artwork. Matboard Plus has  Conservation Mats that are completely acid- and lignin-free, meaning they will last in your portfolio or in an archive for countless years. You'll find 8-ply mats in our store, which combine the best thickness and most acid-free options into one product.

Picking the right pre cut mat board for your work takes time and some deliberation, and you're always the final judge of what looks best for your art. Matboard Plus has an array of thicknesses, acid-free options, and core types, giving you the best variety from which to choose. Make your artwork look spectacular by browsing our site today.
