8 ply mats showcase your artwork with sophistication and style. 8 ply mats are 1/8th of an inch thick, which is twice the thickness of standard 4 ply mats. The deeper bevel of the 8 ply mats creates a stunning presentation that elegantly draws attention to your artwork.
Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats are appealing not just because they are attractive, but also because they are archival. Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats are the museum-quality option when you want your artwork to be appreciated for generations to come. These 8 ply mats are made from 100% cotton rag, so they are naturally acid and lignin free. They don’t need any special chemical treatment to become acid free (like paper mats do), so they will never become acidic. Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats will protect your artwork against chemical deterioration such as yellowing or staining. Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats therefore aid in prolonging the life of your artwork.
Alpharag 8 ply mats are available in a variety of whites, off-whites, and blacks. These mats are solid core, which means that the color of the bevel is the same color as the front of the mat board.
The best thing about buying Alpharag 8 ply mats from Documounts is that you will receive a bulk discount when you order just 4 or more of the same custom cut 8 ply mats.

If you need archival matting and mounting supplies, Documounts sells those, too!
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.
