Nothing compares to the quality and permanence of pure MUSEUM RAGMAT. Premium UN-buffered Museum Rag Mat provides optimum archival quality protection for fine works of art on paper. Recommended for extremely valuable original works of art, rare and antique documents and items of historical importance. Virtually all museums and libraries use cotton rag mat board to exhibit and conserve treasured manuscripts, documents and works of art. 100% Pure cotton museum board with solid color throughout and contains no optical brighteners. This extra rigid board has special surface sizing for French matting and art media. Naturally acid-free and lignin-free, all RagMat Museum matboards comply with the most stringent standards of the Library of Congress, Fine Art Trade Guild, PPFA and other governing authorities.

Non-buffered rag boards are recommended for many photographic emulsions such as albumen, dye transfers, chromogenic prints and cyanotopes, as well as animal based materials such as leather, silk and wool that require a low alkaline environment. For more information please see Buffered vs Un-Buffered Museum Rag Matting.

Great care has been taken to represent our mat board colors as accurately as possible, however color variance among monitors means that mat colors on your screen may not be exact. Openings in illustration are not representative of actually specified opening size.

We also offer Multiple Window Collage Picture Matting and uncut mat board. If you are looking for uncut mat board you can order UNbuffered Museum Rag Solids mat blanks in any of our colors from the drop down menu under standard sizes. The blanks are listed at the bottom of the list and have the outside dimensions only listed and say (BLANKS) in the description rather than window opening size. We offer all our standard sizes from 5x7 up to full sheets of 32x40 and everything in between with custom matting.

If you have any questions about what size mat board you need or sizing your pictures or other artwork, please give our customer service a call or see our online sizing guide to selecting the best size for your framing and matting needs. REDIMAT offers a large selection of photo mat board products in the most popular picture and frames sizes including several harder to find square picture sizes. Using the custom mat board feature found on this material page it is possible to create most any custom mat size and you get the same pricing as our standard sizes when buying in bulk quantities.
