4-ply mat boards are our standard, versatile choice for custom framing that balances visual depth, structural support, and everyday practicality. With four bonded layers, this thickness provides a noticeable bevel that draws the eye into your artwork while still maintaining a refined, understated appearance. It is a dependable option for a wide range of framing needs.
This collection includes 4-ply mats in many colors, textures, and material grades from top brands like Bainbridge and Peterboro. You will find everything from general-purpose boards ideal for decorative displays to conservation-quality options engineered to help protect art and photographs over time.
Because of their balanced thickness, 4-ply mats offer reliable rigidity that helps keep your frame flat and stable. The bevel cut creates a clean visual transition between your piece and its frame, enhancing presentation without overwhelming the artwork. These mats are a great choice for everyday artwork, prints, posters, and photographs.
Select 4-ply mat boards as part of a custom DIY frame kit, include them in our Print & Frame service, or order them on their own. With a broad palette of colors and trusted materials, 4-ply mats provide an elegant, professional look that enhances nearly any framing project.
