Golden State Art, Double Picture Mats with White Core Bevel Cut for 8X10 Photo Pictures (Mats, Backing, Clear Bags Included), Ivory Turret Over Blue, 11x14-10 Pack (Double Mat)

I'm very pleased with this product, as well as the bundle's incredible value! br>br>With the top double-sided mat cutter, the mats are cut precisely and cleanly. You won't have to do anything because the mat is already put together. The top mat's surface is matte, which means it will accept media if I decide to embellish these by hand later. br>br>The mat, art, and backing board are all perfectly sized, and the bags are a perfect fit. The adhesive strip on the bag is located on the body of the bag rather than the flap, which helps to prevent the strip from damaging the art when it is removed. br>br>I've also included a visual aid in the form of a bright white piece of printer paper placed beside the mat to demonstrate the degree of off-centering. The mats are a brilliant white color. The mat has a warm white tone to it, whereas the bright white printer paper has a cooler tone. If you're looking for a more dramatic cream or beige, keep in mind that the top mat's color is more akin to a very light off-white. white, as stated in the advertisement br>br>I'll buy these again for my upcoming shows, especially if the price stays the same. I paid $25 for this bundle. It's a steal at 99 dollars for ten mats, bags, and backing.

, I was paying two to three times more. for a similar purpose They come with a double mat (attached), backing, and a plastic sleeve to protect the picture if you don't plan on framing it right away or want to take it to a frame shop. I'm very particular about my mats, and I adore them! I'm going to place another order.

Golden State DOUBLE white mattes are one of my favorites. They are acid-free, well-made, and must be subject to quality control, as I have purchased large quantities of these lovely mattes and have never received a defective one. I typically purchase 11 x 14 inch prints for an 8 x 10 image and 8 x 10 prints for a 5 x 7 opening. br>They arrive white (no marks or fingerprints) and in an acid-free wrap, which I appreciate. The inner matte is cut to the exact dimensions of the outer matte. br>When it comes to my own art and the art I buy, I prefer double mattes. The double mattes make a significant difference in the final appearance of a photograph or painting. It truly draws your eye "into" the image and is a lovely way to complete a piece. They do have a beautiful single matte that is very thick and has a beveled cut, which I really like. It's elegant and perfect for more modern art, but I've also used it for plein air paintings and equestrian drawings and sketches, among other things. br>These Double White mattes are truly beautiful, quality made, and are cut uniformly so you can count on getting the same cut and dimensions every time, which is especially useful if you're hanging sets or groupings of 2 to 12 pictures on a wall in a consistent manner.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite Amazon purchases of all time. . . Not only are the mats heavy, in the color I expected, and the clear plastic pouches exactly what I needed, but the product was packaged so well that it didn't get damaged during shipping. Items were shrink wrapped separately (mats together, backing together, etc. ) and shipped in a heavy, cardboard container that was easy to open and close. I'm not a professional artist, but I needed something to put a commissioned piece in. Because the mat/backing was included and looked so good, the client paid me more than the agreed-upon price. The artwork was transformed into a work of art. I will definitely buy from you again.

I ended up having to buy two boxes of mats because I only needed two more to finish my grouping. I attempted to purchase two mats by contacting customer service a few times, but was unsuccessful. They also couldn't or wouldn't rush delivery, despite the fact that I ordered a box of single mats from the same company and received them in three days! The mats arrived in a box that was just the right size to keep the contents safe. The mats were lovely, and I chose the burgundy/gold color scheme. The burgundy is more purple than red, which makes it stand out. The mats are nice, but I'd prefer faster shipping and the ability to buy them individually.

This product has exceeded my expectations; not only did it arrive on time, but it was carefully packaged, and the product itself is stunning. For my daughter's 4H Fair Photography project, she needed something to make her photos look professional, and these were ideal because they came with everything we needed. To keep the pictures in place, we only needed glue dots and tape. Furthermore, because orange is her favorite color, the border added a personal touch while also providing the extra pop of color her photos required. Anyone who needs to display photos or artwork should get one of these.

These mats served their purpose admirably. I'm new to watercolor painting, so I gave a few "lucky" people things I'd painted for Christmas. These mats gave them a professional appearance, right down to the clear cello sleeve they were placed in. It was an excellent deal that fulfilled all of my expectations. (I've included a photo, but please don't judge).

I enjoy taking pictures as a hobby. A local art show requested that I submit my photos. I ordered these as a way to protect my photos while still allowing me to show them without having to frame each one. The backboard and mat complement each other perfectly, and the clear bags protect the photographs from fingerprints and smudges as they are handled. Thank you very much. They give my photographs a polished appearance.
