Since Documounts can create a custom photo mount cut specifically for your needs, we can create much more than just a photo mount with a single square or rectangular opening.  Documounts can also cut a photo mount with multiple openings for a creative way to display your photos.  We can also create photo mount windows in the shapes of circles, ovals and arches. In addition to custom cut photo mounts, we also offer photo mounts in standard sizes.  Our Pre-Cut Mats and Market-Ready Mat Kits are excellent choices for artists and photographers who need to buy photo mounts in a standard size at an affordable cost.  Buying photo mounts in bulk allows you to efficiently prepare to sell lots of work at your next art show.

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!

Crescent mat board is a high-quality choice for presenting your fine art and photography.  When you sell your artwork at art fairs, you can expect a lot more sales when you offer prints and originals that are already matted on Crescent mat board.  Why?  Because artwork that is already mounted and matted with Crescent mat board is more appealing and saleable to art collectors, since all they need to purchase is a frame.

At Documounts, you can buy Crescent mat board in bulk, which means the more you buy, the more you save.  Buying Crescent mat board in large quantities is an excellent choice when you are expecting volume sales. Whether it’s your first art festival or you’re a seasoned art fair veteran, you will always have a better chance of selling more art when you’ve got plenty of matted artwork on hand to sell.

There are two types of Crescent mat board for sale at Documounts that reflect two different levels of quality: Ragmat Crescent mat board and Papermat Crescent mat board.  The type of Crescent mat board that is best for you will depend upon the type of artwork that you will present for sale to the public.

Crescent Ragmats are the perfect Crescent mat board for one of a kind artworks and limited edition prints, because the cotton rag is naturally acid-free.  Crescent Papermats, on the other hand, are the ideal Crescent mat board for photographs and open edition prints. Crescent Papermats are pH neutral but not acid-free.  The Papermat Crescent mat board is an attractive and economical option for artwork that you can sell in bulk numbers.

Documounts offers Market-Ready Kits that include pre-cut mat board in standard sizes, along with foam board and clear bags.  If you need custom cut Crescent mat board, you can also order clear bags and mounting board along with the custom cut Crescent mat board. This quickly and easily gets you ready for your upcoming art shows.

When it comes time to choose the art mat that best complements your work, the selection can be overwhelming.  Choosing the best art mat for your project can be a challenge; especially since the type of art mat you choose may vary based on how you intend to display your work.  For those who plan on selling their art at fairs or festivals, a simple white mat may suffice.  Others who plan on showcasing their work at galleries or in studios may desire an art mat that is thicker or one with color.

So how do you know which art mat to choose?  Use these 5 tips to choose the best art mat for your work.

Tip # 1 – Know when to choose archival quality art mat.

For artist framing limited edition pieces and one of a kind artwork, choosing an art mat that is of archival quality is essential.  An archival quality art mat has been treated so that all of the acids are removed from the paper.  Archival quality mats will protect and preserve your art for years to come.

Tip # 2 – Choose a high end art mat for a gallery quality look.

If a gallery quality look is important to you, consider a higher end art mat such as the Bainbridge Alphamat, Alpharag or Top Mat Alphamat.  All of these matting options provide a high end look and feel for your artwork.  Click here to view our gallery quality art mat options.

Tip # 3 – Consider the thickness of the art mat.

Top quality art mat comes in several thicknesses.  Bainbridge offers art mat in 4, 6 and 8 Ply thicknesses.  The Alpharag archival quality art mat comes in both the 4 and 8 Ply thicknesses.  The 8 Ply Alpharag is 1/8” thick; twice the thickness of a standard mat.  An 8 Ply art mat will provide a bolder more sculpted bevel.
