5x5 Square Cut Mat

Our 5x5 archival mats are cut from conservation quality alpha-cellulose matboard. These boards are acid-free and lignin-free, alkaline pH buffered, bleed and fade resistant, and meet the F.A.C.T.S. Guidelines for Conservation. The size above is the outside dimension. We will custom cut your specified opening and center it in the mat. To order a Redi-Cut mat:
