Learn How to Mat & Frame Your Artwork

Do you need to mat & frame your artwork?  You can find all the supplies that you will need to mount, mat, frame and hang your artwork at Documounts.  When you need to buy more than one mat & frame, you will receive deeper discounts the more you buy.  This is great news for artists that are expecting volume sales at art festivals, and equally excellent news for galleries that display and sell a lot of artwork on a regular basis.

If you are displaying artwork in standard sizes, then you can purchase a pre-cut mat & frame that is already assembled.  This makes displaying and hanging your artwork very easy.  All you need to do is place your artwork into the mat & frame, nail in the sawtooth hanger that comes with the readymade frame, and then hang the art on the wall.  If you prefer to hang your mat & frame with wire, you can also purchase strap hangers or O-ring hangers from Documounts.

If your artwork doesn’t fit into the standard sized mat & frame, you can order a custom cut mat & frame sized exactly to your specifications.  Documounts specializes in creating custom cut mats in any size that you need.  This gives you the ability to create the exact mat & frame that you need to display your artwork.

When you install your artwork inside your mat & frame, you will need a few more supplies in addition to the mat & frame:

  • Mount board
  • Glazing
  • Archival tape
  • Picture Hanging Wire

If you are assembling your own custom cut mat & frame, you will need other supplies as well, such as glue, thumbnail pegs or screws, and various other items that you can find in our “supplies” section.

Buying a mat & frame for your artwork is the final step in creating the right presentation for your art.  The mat & frame that you choose for your artwork will highlight and enhance the piece.  Artwork simply isn’t complete until it is presented inside a mat & frame!
