When conservation is a priority, Crescent Rag Mat is one of the top-quality matting choices.  Crescent Rag Mat is made from 100% cotton rag, which means that it is naturally acid and lignin free.  Crescent Rag Mat will preserve your artwork by protecting it against chemical deterioration, as well as slowing art and paper degradation.  Crescent Rag Mat is therefore an ideal mat for original, one-of-a-kind artwork and limited edition reproductions, such as hand-pulled prints, giclees, and photographs.

Crescent Rag Mat is 4 ply, which means that it is 1/16” thick.  You can buy Crescent Rag Mat as a single mat, or you can order them as double mats or even triple mats.  Crescent Rag Mat is available in 6 different varieties of white: antique white rag, bright white rag, off white rag, very white rag, white classic rag, and white rag.  All of these Crescent Rag Mat boards have a white core.

Ordering Crescent Rag Mat from Documounts is easy.  First, select the color of the Crescent Rag Mat that you would like.  Then enter the size of the Crescent Rag Mat that you will need.  You will need to enter the outer dimensions of the Crescent Rag Mat, as well as the size of the inner window opening.  Finally, choose the quantity of mats that you will need.

If you need to buy a lot of Crescent Rag Mat boards, you will enjoy the bulk discount you will receive when you buy Crescent Rag Mats from Documounts!  The discount gets deeper the more that you buy.  For instance, if you buy one 11×14 Crescent Rag Mat, it will cost $7.44.  If you buy four 11×14 Crescent Rag Mats, they will cost $6.50 each.  However, if you buy 1000 Crescent Rag Mat boards, they will only cost $2.55 apiece!  This is ideal for artists and photographers who buy a lot of mat boards to get their art ready for gallery shows and art festivals.

Documounts also sells all of the supplies that you will need to mat, mount and frame your artwork.  We sell everything from adhesives that you will need to mat and mount your art, to clear adhesive bags that will easily fit your matted artwork, making them ready for sale!

Documounts carries two types of Crescent matboard: archival Crescent matboard and pH neutral Crescent matboard.

The archival Crescent matboard is called Crescent Ragmat.  Crescent Ragmat is made from 100% cotton rag, so it is naturally acid and lignin free.  This type of Crescent matboard is ideal for one-of-a-kind works of art and limited edition reproductions.  The archival Crescent matboard is available in 6 different varieties of white, all with a white core.

The pH neutral Crescent matboard is called Crescent Papermat.  Crescent Papermat is made from paper, which needed to be chemically treated in order to become temporarily acid-free.  Over time, the protective buffering of the paper Crescent matboard will wear off, and the mat will become acidic again.  Therefore, paper Crescent matboard is suitable for matting open edition reproductions, such as prints, photographs and posters.  The pH neutral Crescent matboard is available in a wide variety of colors in bright white core, off-white core, and black core.

Documounts specializes in selling custom cut matboard.  If you need to buy a lot of custom cut Crescent matboard, you will enjoy the deep discounts that you’ll receive when you buy a large quantity of Crescent matboard from Documounts.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut Crescent matboard to receive a bulk discount.  The discount gets even deeper the more that you buy!  For example, if you buy one 8×0 Papermat Crescent matboard, it will cost $2.39.  If you buy four of them, they will cost $2.08 each.  If you buy sixteen of them, they will cost only 88 cents each.  If you need to buy 1000 Papermat Crescent matboards to get ready for an upcoming season of art festivals, then they will only cost 62 cents each!

Documounts also sells all of the essential supplies that you will need to mat, mount and frame your artwork.  We sell mountboard, frames, archival adhesives, clear bags, and lots of other matting and framing supplies.

Crescent mat boards are an excellent matting option.  Crescent mat boards are available in both archival quality and pH neutral quality.  If you’re not sure whether you need an archival mat or a pH neutral mat, consider the following questions:

Are you matting original, one-of-a-kind works of art?

Are you matting signed and numbered hand-pulled prints?

Are you matting limited edition reproductions (such as giclees or photographs)?

If you answer yes to any of the above questions, then you should use archival Crescent mat boards, such as Crescent RagMat.

If you are not matting anything that fits into the above categories, you might choose to mat with pH neutral Crescent mat boards, such as Crescent Papermat.  The paper Crescent mat boards are ideal for open edition reproductions, such as giclees, photographs or posters.

The main difference between these two types of Crescent mat boards is the quality.  Ragmat Crescent mat boards are made from 100% cotton rag, while Papermat Crescent mat boards are made from paper.  The cotton rag mats are naturally acid and lignin free, while the paper mats are chemically treated to become temporarily acid-free.  This means that Ragmat Crescent mat boards will protect and preserve your artwork for generations to come, while Papermat Crescent mat boards will once again become acidic over time, contributing to the deterioration of your artwork.

Ragmat Crescent mat boards are available in 6 different varieties of white, with a white core.  This is the museum-quality choice for matting valuable or important works of art.

Papermat Crescent mat boards are available in dozens of colors.  Papermat Crescent mat boards are available with an off-white core, black core and bright white core.

If you need to buy a lot of Crescent mat boards to get ready for upcoming gallery shows and art festivals, you will enjoy the bulk discount you will receive from Documounts.  The bulk discount takes effect when you buy just 4 or more of the same Crescent mat boards.  When you buy more, the discount gets even deeper.  The more Crescent mat boards that you buy, the more you save!

You can also find all of the supplies and materials that you will need to mat, mount and frame your artwork at Documounts.

Cotton mats are the museum-quality choice for matting one-of-a-kind works of art on paper, limited edition reproductions (such as giclees or photographs) and hand-pulled prints that are signed and numbered.  If you want your artwork to last for generations, then mat your artwork with cotton mats.

Cotton mats are made from 100% cotton rag, which means that they are naturally acid and lignin free.  These cotton mats will protect your artwork from chemical deterioration such as yellowing and staining.  Cotton mats aid in the preservation of your artwork, making cotton mats the ideal matting solution for conservation framing.

Documounts sells two different brands of cotton mats: Bainbridge Alpharag and Crescent Ragmats.  Both of these cotton mats are archival-quality mats that will protect, preserve and present your artwork in style.

Bainbridge Alpharag cotton mats are available in 4 ply and 8 ply.  The 8 ply cotton mats are twice as thick as the 4 ply mats, which creates a deeper bevel.  The 8 ply rag mats showcase your artwork in a more sophisticated, sculptural presentation.  Bainbridge Alpharag mats are available in a variety of colors.  Because Bainbridge Alpharag mats are solid core, the color of the bevel is the same color as the front of the mat board.

Crescent Ragmats are available in 4 ply, in 6 different varieties of white.  These cotton mats are white core.

If you need to order a large quantity of cotton mats to get ready for your upcoming art festivals or gallery shows, then you will enjoy the bulk discounts that you will receive at Documounts when you buy 4 or more of the same custom cut cotton mats.  The more cotton mats that you buy, the more you save!
