Archival Kit for 12x18 Prints
This kit provides a complete archival framing solution designed for 12x18 inch prints. It uses 100% cotton museum board and acid-free foam backing to prevent discoloration over time. Photographers and artists can present work at a gallery standard with the included components. The window mat measures 20x24 inches and fits both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Replaces Basic Mats and Tape
Standard mats often contain acids that yellow artwork and adhesive tapes that fail or stain. This kit upgrades the display with 4-ply cotton board and Tyvek hinging tape that remains stable. The jump is worth it when the print has long-term value or is intended for exhibition. Collectors and sellers protecting limited editions will notice the preservation difference immediately.
Simple Assembly with Included Corners
Clear mounting corners hold the print without adhesives touching the image area. Tyvek tape hinges the window mat to the foam board backing in a single step. The crystal-clear bag seals with a self-adhesive strip for dust-free storage. The only common issue is misaligning the print before pressing the corners down, so position carefully first.

Questions about this item
Will the 20x24 inch mat fit a standard 20x24 inch frame?
Yes, the mat measures 20x24 inches overall, matching standard frame dimensions for that size, while the window opening is cut for a 12x18 inch print.
How do I attach the print without adhesive touching the artwork?
Place the clear mounting corners over each corner of the 12x18 inch print to hold it against the foam board backing, then hinge the window mat to the backing using the supplied Tyvek tape.
What should I replace if the clear bag gets scratched or loses its seal?
The crystal clear bag with self-adhesive closure is the only consumable component; swap it for a new archival sleeve of the same 20x24 inch dimensions when needed.
