Do you need custom cut photo mats?  Documounts specializes in expertly creating custom cut photo mats in any size that you need.  We carry a vast range of mat board, allowing you to choose your preferred color as well as the quality of the mat board.  You can also create double mats or triple mats.

We sell archival photo mats, pH neutral photo mats, and economy photo mats to suit your matting needs.  If you’re not sure whether you need archival, pH neutral or economy photo mats, consider the following:

  • Archival photo mats are museum-quality and permanently acid-free.  If conservation framing is a priority for you, use archival mat board.  These photo mats are ideal for limited edition photos.
  • pH neutral photo mats are temporarily acid-free, but over time the protective buffering will wear off, exposing your photos to chemical deterioration such as yellowing, staining and fading.  Use pH neutral photo mats only if you are matting open edition photos.
  • Economy photo mats have an acidic core, although the surface is buffered to be temporarily acid free.  Use these photo mats only if you are matting open edition photos.

After you select the quality of the mat board that suits your needs, choose the color, size and quantity of mats that you require.

If you need to buy a lot of photo mats to get ready for an upcoming exhibition of your work, then you will be delighted to hear that Documounts offers deep bulk discounts when you buy a large quantity of photo mats.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut photo mats to start receiving the bulk discount.  When you buy more than that, the discount gets even deeper!
