Pre-cut matting eliminates the measuring, cutting, and potential waste that comes with custom mat projects. Each Crescent Classic Gallery kit pairs a precision-cut mat with matching backer board and archival storage bag, ready for immediate framing. Standard openings accommodate common print sizes, 5×7 through 14×18, making these particularly useful for photography series, limited edition prints, or artwork destined for portfolio presentation. The natural cream core provides neutral framing that doesn't compete with your imagery.

Crescent constructs these mats from buffered, pH-neutral materials throughout: surface, core, and backing all maintain acid-free specifications that protect against yellowing and deterioration. Fade-resistant colorants maintain appearance under normal display conditions, while recycled content and environmentally conscious manufacturing reduce environmental impact without compromising structural integrity. The included resealable bag protects matted work during storage or transport between exhibitions.

These kits serve decorative framing needs, general presentations, and poster display effectively. While not archival-grade museum board, they deliver reliable performance for reproduction prints, student work, and artwork where conservation-level materials aren't required. The convenience of pre-cut sizing means you can mat multiple pieces quickly and consistently.
