Bainbridge 8-ply is true museum quality. It is acid free and has the Bainbridge Artcare treatment, and is the highest quality mat board available. Bainbridge Alpharag Features: 100% cotton rag Solid color throughout – from surface to bevel Includes Artcare™ Archival – Plus protection* Acid and Lignin Free Fade and bleed resistant Buffered to maintain alkaline pH Passes the Photographic Activity Test Meets and exceeds ANSI/NISO A39.48-1992 Regulations for paper permanence * The Bainbridge Artcare™ process proactively traps and neutralizes pollutants and acid by-products that can damage artwork.

Our picture frames are indexed by artwork size. Artwork size is the actual size of the photograph, inkjet or other print being framed. The opening in our mats is cut a little smaller than the artwork so that the mat will hold the artwork down. Most off-the-shelf ready-made frames will crop ¼ to ½ inch of each side of the photograph. Most of our customers feel this is too much and we agree. For that reason our picture frame mats for artwork smaller than 18x24 inches are cut to overlap just 1/8 inch on all 4 sides. That means the actual or exact opening of the mat will be 1/4 inch less total. For example our mat opening for 4x6 photographs is 3.75x5.75 inches. Frames for artwork 18x24 and larger are cut to overlap 1/4 inch on all 4 sides so the mat for an 18x24 print will be 17.5x23.5.
