You can purchase these Mat Kits with either white or black mats.  You may also choose between Mat Kits that have single mats or double mats.

If you are a digital photographer, or if you print out artwork or photographs using a digital printer, you’ll be delighted to know that Documounts also sells Digital Fit Mat Kits. These Mat Kits are designed to fit digital sizes, as follows:

If your artwork does not fit the sizes offered in these Mat Kits, you can essentially create your own Mat Kits by ordering custom cut mats, mount boards and clear adhesive bags from Documounts.  We also sell adhesives and various other matting and framing supplies, too!

Where to Buy Pre-Cut Mats

Pre-cut mats are an excellent choice for matting standard size artwork.  Documounts carries pre-cut mats in the following sizes:

8 x 10 – inside window of 4.5 x 6.5, fits a 5 x 7 image

11 x 14 – inside window of 7.5 x 9.5, fits an 8 x 10 image

18 x 24 – inside window of 12.5 x 18.5, fits a 13 x 19 image

These pre-cut mats are available in packs of 25.  They are cut from pH neutral mat board, so these pre-cut mats are suitable for matting open edition prints, such as giclees or photographs.

All of the pre-cut mats listed above are available in white or black.  You can purchase them as single or double mats.

If you are an artist or a photographer and you are preparing for your next gallery show, art festival, or studio sale, then you may be interested in purchasing these pre-cut mats as part of our Market Ready Mat Kits.  These kits include the pre-cut mats, as well as foam core backing cut to the appropriate size, along with clear adhesive bags that are sized to fit your matted artwork.  These kits are handy for easily selling your artwork at art fairs.

If you are a digital photographer, you’ll be delighted to know that we sell pre-cut mats in “digital sizes”.  These pre-cut mats are designed to fit photos created from digital printers.  Sizes for those pre-cut mats run as follows:

12 x 16 – inside window of 7.5 x 11.5, fits an 8 x 12 image

12 x 16 – inside window of 8 x 10.5, fits an 8.5 x 11 image 

16 x 20 – inside window of 10.5 x 13.5, fits an 11 x 14 image

The digital fit pre-cut mats are available in white.  They are also sold in packs of 25, along with foam core backing and clear adhesive bags.

In addition to pre-cut mats, Documounts also sells all of the supplies that you will need to mat and mount your artwork, such as archival artist tape and picture mounting corners.  We also sell mount board, frames and framing supplies!
