Black mat for 12x12 photos

This black paperboard mat fits a 16x16 frame and displays a 12x12 photo through an 11.5x11.5 bevel-cut opening. The white core adds contrast around the artwork. Acid-free material protects prints from yellowing over time. It suits photographers and crafters who want a clean, modern border.

Fits 16x16 frames only

The mat slides into any standard 16x16 frame without extra cutting. Its single-layer design keeps the profile thin so the frame backing closes easily. No backing board or clear bag is supplied, so you provide those separately. The bevel edge directs the eye toward the centred image.

Upgrades from basic card mounts

Replacing a non-archival mount with this acid-free board stops long-term discolouration of valuable prints. The white core reveals a crisp inner line that cheaper mats lack. The jump is worth it when the photo deserves museum-grade preservation and a professional gallery look.

Questions about this item

Will the 11.5 inch by 11.5 inch opening cover any part of my 12 inch by 12 inch photo?

Yes, the bevel cut opening is 11.5 inches square so roughly a quarter inch of each edge sits behind the mat to hold the photo securely.

Does the paperboard warp or discolour when displayed continuously under indoor lighting?

The 4-ply acid free board with white core resists yellowing and stays flat during long term display in normal indoor conditions.

What extra items are needed to finish the framing job?

You will need a 16 inch by 16 inch frame, backing board and glazing because this option includes only the single mat.
