Bainbridge adhesive foam core is a convenient mounting option for photographs and works of art on paper. The difference between adhesive foam core and regular foam core is that one side of the adhesive foam core is coated with a sticky adhesive.  This sticky adhesive conveniently eliminates the need for tape. Adhesive foam core is lightweight, but it is sturdy and rigid.  This 3/16” thick foam core will not crack, bend or warp.

To mount your artwork onto adhesive foam core, start by peeling off the protective sheet, revealing the sticky side of the foam core.  Position your artwork gently in the center of the adhesive foam core.  Don’t press firmly until you feel confident that your artwork is centered just the way you want it. Your artwork can be repositioned as needed until it is perfect.  When you are ready, press firmly and evenly on the artwork to seal it to the adhesive foam core.  Lay your mat on top of the adhesive foam core and when it is centered correctly, press the mat board down firmly as well.

When should you use adhesive foam core to mount your artwork?  You should mount your artwork onto adhesive foam core when conservation is not an issue.  Adhesive foam core is pH neutral, but it is not archival.  This means that over time, the chemicals from the foam core will contribute to the yellowing and deteriorating of the artwork.

This means that if you want to mount one-of-a-kind artwork or limited edition prints, you should not use adhesive foam core.  If you are mounting open edition prints or posters, then adhesive foam core is a convenient, low-cost option.  The main benefit of adhesive foam core is that you can mount both your artwork and your mat directly onto the adhesive foam core without using tape.

Documounts sells adhesive foam core, mats, frames, and everything else you will need to mat, mount, and frame your artwork!

An 8×10 mat is one of the most common sizes for matting artwork.  If you need more than one 8×10 mat, you will enjoy enormous savings when you buy your 8×10 mats in bulk from Documounts.  This is an ideal solution for artists and photographers who expect volume sales at art fairs and art galleries.

Documounts offers standard quality 8×10 mats in packs of 25 as follows:

The mats in these 8×10 mat packs are cut from mat board that is pH neutral, meaning that in time the protective buffering will wear off and contributing to the yellowing and fading of the artwork.  If you would like to mat your artwork with an archival 8×10 mat that will neutralize the acid and slow the deterioration of the piece, then you can order an 8×10 mat cut from Bainbridge Alphamat board.  If conservation is a priority, then you will want to order your 8×10 mat cut from Bainbridge Alpharag mat board.  This type of 8×10 mat is the top-quality choice for acid-free protection.

An 8 ply mat is the ideal choice for artists and photographers who want to present their fine art and photography in a sophisticated style.  The thicker quality of an 8 ply mat provides the weight and appearance of the displays typically seen in museums and galleries.  The deep groove of an 8 ply mat adds a more sculptural dimension to the presentation of your artwork than the thinner 4 ply mats.

The word “ply” describes the thickness of the mat.  When you shop for a mat, you might see them listed as a 4 ply mat or an 8 ply mat.  Most mats are 4 ply.  A 4 ply mat is 1/16 inch thick, while an 8 ply mat is 1/8 inch thick – double the thickness of a 4 ply mat.  The deep bevels of an 8 ply mat showcase your most special artworks in a bold and elegant display.

Documounts offers museum-quality Alpharag Artcare Solid Core 8 ply mats to suit your most refined standards for matting and displaying your fine art and photography.  These archival 8 ply mats are the top-quality choice for exhibiting your high-end artwork and photographs.  Alpharag Artcare 8 ply mats are naturally acid-free because they are made from 100% cotton rag, making them an ideal choice for conservation framing.  Alpharag Artcare 8 ply mats are available in 13 different varieties of whites, creams and blacks.  The bevels of these solid core 8 ply mats are the same color as the front of the board.

An 8 ply mat board is a sophisticated alternative to standard 4 ply mats, making 8 ply mat board the ideal choice for displaying original artwork, limited edition prints, and photography.  If you seek the highest presentation standard for your artwork in terms of quality, conservation, and aesthetics, an 8 ply mat board will help elevate the display of your artwork to a museum-quality level.

An 8 ply mat board is 1/8 inch thick, which is double the thickness of standard 4 ply mats.  This allows an 8 ply mat board to have a deeper bevel, creating a more stunning sculptural appearance to your matting.  The deep bevel of an 8 ply mat board sets off the artwork in a distinctive manner, drawing attention to the artwork in a way that 4 ply mat boards simply cannot match.

Alpharag Artcare Solid Core 8 ply mat board is the museum-quality choice for matting high-end artwork and photography.  Alpharag 8 ply mat board is made from 100% cotton rag, so it is naturally acid-free.  When you seek the highest quality in archival materials for conservation framing, Alpharag Artcare 8 ply mat board is amongst the finest quality mat board available.
