Types of Custom Mats for Frames
Matting can be used with or without a frame to prepare media, such as artwork and photos, for display. Although custom mats for frames are popular, a great custom mat for pictures, paintings, or shadow boxes provides aesthetic negative space to the composition, enhancing its overall appeal. Thus, it adds to the focus and complements the subject, creating a beautiful display.
The color, size, shape, and texture are all important considerations that a custom matting and framing expert at the FrameStore can help you decide. You can even opt for a frame mat with multiple openings.
Use two mats to represent a school’s colors when framing a senior portrait, along with the tassel and graduation invitation, or use custom picture mats with multiple slots to accommodate each piece of memorabilia that you’re framing.
Many matting options
Double matting is an excellent choice in custom frames when you have multiple items that need to be displayed together in a frame. By using double custom mats for frames, you can showcase each item on its own, while still maintaining some unity between the separate images. Examples of double custom frame mats usage include family photos, group shots, or multi-photo panoramas. Double matting is also helpful for balancing larger pieces with smaller ones.
The option to use two or more mats in one frame allows you to highlight multiple elements without having to place them side by side. This custom matting and framing technique is most effective when using mats with the same opening size. However, you can also create a more interesting look with multiple openings in your custom mats for frames within a single frame.
Double Matting
Custom mats and frames aren’t just limited to one choice of mat. You can achieve a significant effect with one mat, but we can also use multiple mats in a single framed piece.
Archival Matting
This type of museum-quality archival mat board is ideal when you want to be sure that your artwork, photos, or other framed items are beautifully framed and protected.
Single Matting
Single matting can draw your attention to the main artwork. It can help protect the art, serving as a buffer between the glass and the art, photos, or memorabilia.
Acid-free matting
Archival matting is acid-free. We use rag mats made from cotton that are 100% acid-free in all of our custom matting and framing.

Tell your story
Custom mats for frames or artwork are the accent that completes your display. They can also accentuate the look by adding depth and dimension. Let FrameStore be your source for custom picture mats in a variety of sizes and shapes, including unique frames for any picture project.
With every custom framing project, we try to tell a story and communicate something unique about you, your family, or your interests. And the custom frame mats you decide on have an essential role to play in that story. Matting has a powerful mood-setting effect on the context of artwork and photos.
How do you convert these kinds of details into a finished product that fits your vision? You’ll talk directly with one of our experienced design consultants, who can help you choose the frame, custom mats for frames, and a color scheme that will work best for your piece, based on their years of experience as an artist.

Create Complete Custom Arrangements
When planning the perfect frame, it is essential to consider how all the elements fit together. The frame, matting, glass, and art or memorabilia all need to work well. The frame should add value to the art, and the custom picture mats should add focus and protection. Protecting your artwork, photographs, or other treasured items under glass is sufficient protection.
However, here’s where the custom mats for frames you choose matter, not only artistically, but also scientifically. Regular paper mats have been treated to prevent the acids that are naturally present in the wood pulp from damaging the items being framed, but that protection only lasts about five years. After that, the acid-controlling treatment no longer works. As a result, the custom frame mats could begin to cause yellowing. Instead, choose acid-free matting options.
