Archival Cotton Mats for 11x17 Prints

This five-pack of pre-cut exhibition mats is made from 100% cotton museum board to protect 11x17 inch artwork from acid migration. The bright white 4-ply window measures 9-7/8 by 14-7/8 inches and is centred for vertical or horizontal orientation. Each mat includes a hinged 2-ply backing board secured with archival linen tape.

Standard 16x20 Frame Compatibility

The 16x20 inch outer dimensions fit standard frames without custom cutting. A 1-inch weighted bottom border creates a gallery-style balance but reduces the visible image area at the lower edge. Buyers needing a different window proportion or a larger print size cannot use these mats.

Ready-to-Use Hinged Design

Mats arrive assembled with the backing board already taped on the long side, so prints can be inserted immediately. The linen hinge allows the window to lift open for positioning but may limit access for very thick substrates. Artists who prefer to mount prints on their own backing board will find the fixed hinge restrictive.
