Our Archival Mat & Presentation Kits are available in a DOZEN sizes – from our small 8 x 10″ mats all the way up to our large 22 x 28″ mats!
To add flexibility(!) to these easy-to-use kits, each 100% acid-free mat has a centered window opening so that you can use them in EITHER a vertical or horizontal orientation (please click here to see our fully-illustrated blog that explains what a “centered” window mat is all about). This feature will also allow you to re-use each mat, should you so desire, whether your pieces are vertically or horizontally oriented.
“Standard-sized” mats allow you to easily use “standard-sized” portfolio boxes, drop front boxes, and frames for elegant presentations!

While the window openings in each 4-Ply Bright White 100% Cotton Museum Board mat were designed to accommodate the most popular standard IMAGE sizes, the exterior dimensions of each mat were also chosen to accommodate the most popular standard Portfolio Box / Drop Front Box / & Frame sizes, making EVERYTHING a “standard fit” for both convenience and finished elegance (see pix above).
