Buy a Custom Cut 16×20 Mat or Pre-Cut 16×20 Mat from Documounts

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Whether you need a pre-cut 16×20 mat or a custom cut 16×20 mat, Documounts has the exact 16×20 mat that you need to display your artwork.

Our pre-cut 16×20 mats are a popular choice for people who sell a lot of matted artwork at art fairs and art galleries.  They have an inner opening of 10.5” x 13.5”, making them suitable for matting 11” x 14” artwork.

Pre-cut mats are sold in packs of 25.  You can buy them as single mats or double mats. They are available in either white or black, cut from pH neutral mat board.  The pre-cut 16×20 mats are suitable for matting open edition reproductions, such as giclees, posters or photographs.

Documounts also sells custom cut 16×20 mats.  The custom cut 16×20 mats are a better choice for you than the precut 16×20 mats if you need or want any of the following:

  • a small quantity of 16×20 mats
  • an archival mat
  • a mat in a different color than white or black (there are over 100 different colors to choose from)
  • a 16×20 mat with a different window opening
  • a triple mat
  • an economy mat
  • a rag mat
  • a 6 ply or 8 ply mat
  • a mat with a black core or solid core

When you buy 4 or more of the same custom cut 16×20 mat, you’ll receive a bulk discount.  When you buy more than that, the discount gets even bigger.  The discount increases at each of the following amounts:  4, 8, 16, 48, 250, 1000 & 5000.

16×20 mats are a standard size, which means that they will easily fit into readymade frames – which we also sell here at Documounts.  We also sell custom cut frame mouldings, glazing, and all of the matting and mounting supplies that you’ll need to display your artwork!
