Bainbridge 8-ply Alpharag mat board is the thickest and highest grade of archival image preservation that money can buy
(most other companies’ 8-ply mat looks like 6-ply in comparison).
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.
Frame Destination carries a variety of high quality, full-sheet uncut mat board, pre-cut mat board and
custom mat board to go with your custom-sized pictures.
Uncut blank mat board does not have any window for displaying the artwork. Uncut mat
board is for those cutting their own mats, or those needing matboard to mount their artwork. Here you
can order uncut or blank mat board for any size frame. These are solid sheets of matboard that allow
you to cut your own window. Great for people that cut their own mats but want to stock the mat board
already cut to the frame sizes they require. We offer three different types of mat board: Inexpensive,
but non-archival 4-ply Papermat, acid free 4-Ply Bainbridge Alphamat, and 8-Ply Bainbridge Alpharag
mat board.
Whether you need a thick photo mat board to add depth to your frame, a picture mat that can help protect your most valuable artwork and
antique documents, or a basic picture mat for decorative framing; we have the mat board you are looking for.
We carry three types of Bainbridge mat board: Bainbridge 8-Ply Alpharag, Bainbridge 4-Ply Alpharag, and Bainbridge Alphamat.
- Bainbridge 8-Ply Alpharag mat board is a 1/8” thick museum quality mat board that meets the most stringent standards of stability and performance, and
provides superior rigidity and strength.
- Bainbridge 4-Ply Alpharag mat board is 1/16” thick and provides the same protection and superior rigidity and strength.
- Bainbridge Alphamat is a 1/16” thick museum-quality mat board that meets the same stringent standards of stability and performance.
