"I've ordered several times from the MatShop now and have never had any issues... the first order I ever made I messed up on the opening size for my mats. Someone caught the mistake and phoned to alert me. I was very grateful that I didn't end up with a bunch of useless mats! The website is easy to navigate and ordering has never been a hassle like it is with so many other online shops. The orders are always received in good time."

8 Ply (Archival)

8 Ply (Double Thickness) Matboard

Conservation Quality

8 ply mats provide a very dramatic effect and are 100% conservation quality; therefore, they are often used in museums or galleries for special presentations of artwork or photos. MatShop uses Artique Conservation Matboard.


Please note: Matboard core color is the same color as the surface (color goes through the mat)

  • 8 ply mats are double the normal thickness--approximately .096 inches or 1/8 inch thick.
  • Matboard is:
    • Acid Free and Lignin Free
    • Alkaline pH Buffered
    • Bleed and Fade Resistant
  • 45 degree bevels on the openings allows the extra thick core to show dramatically.
  • Bottom weighting provides dramatic effect, if desired.
  • Especially effective when displaying black and white photography or artwork.
