MATTING

  • Mats cannot exceed 20x24” Smaller mats are fine. Must have full solid backings. (either form core or mat)

  • Prints can be any size within that mat.

  • Cohesive colored archival mat board (must be a quality mat, find at Mel’s Frame Shop if in question). The body of work must match.

  • No logos on the photo.

  • Your signature goes on the front of the mat board in pencil on the lower corner where the print and that mat meet on each piece of art.

  • Your work needs to be sealed in a clear plastic sheet protector that fits correctly (find them at Pro Photo Supply). The plastic sheets stay on the print in the drawers. The seal folds to the back of the artwork. Neither the plastic sheet or the mat can be damaged in anyway, have stickers on them, wrinkles or sticker residue.

In the sealed print include:

  1. A business card in each, if you have one. People can buy your pieces individually out of the drawers.
