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.
