Black Core mats add a lot of punch and pop to brightly colored images, especially ones that are lighter in color around the edges. Because the core is black, the bevel is black and the result is a sharp and impressive presentation.

You can get black core mats in a number of different product lines. Check them out in Bainbridge Papermat Black Core, Crescent Papermat Black Core, Alphamat Black Core, and in 6 ply Top Mat Alphamat Black Core.

Black core mats are available in pH neutral Bainbridge Papermats and Crescent Papermats and also in Archival Alphamats and 6ply Top Mats.
