Question:	How do I determine price?
Answer:	One the One-Step site site, all prices appear when you select a quantity. On the 10pak site prices and quantities appear when you select a color. In the bulk division, price is based upon the outside dimensions of your mat. When using a bulk price list use the size guide to find one that matches the outside dimensions of your mat and read price along quantity scale. If your mat size is not listed, use the "mats/sheet" column to find a mat size that matches your mat. The "mats/sheet" is based upon the number of mats we can get out of a 32" x 40" sheet of mat board. If you are unsure, simply use the next higher size for an estimate.

Therefore, you take the single mat price and double it.

Add 15% to the cost of the mats for attaching.
Question:	Is the matboard acid-free?
Answer:	All mat board stocked by Matcutter.com conforms to industry standards. They are marketed as acid neutral or "acid free" by their manufacturers. There is a lot of confusion over the terms "acid-free" and "acid-neutral". Technically, only matboard made of cotton fiber commonly called "Cotton Rag" is truely acid-free. All other matboard, the majority produced in the United States, is made from trees, a naturally acidic material. This matboard is treated with calcium carbonate so it tests "acid neutral". Calcium Carbonate retards the aging process not only due to the mat board material but the environment as well. All mat board will deteriorate in time with "rag" deteriorating the least. Simply beware of products touted as "100% Acid Free, Archival Mats", they are often standard core "acid neutral mats". If you have a piece of art that is precious in a monetary or emotional sense, use true archival products you can trust or take it to a conservation expert. Conservation framing includes many factors beyond rag versus non-rag. The glues used to bind the single-ply sheets together, the type of inks used, top and bottom cover papers, presence of alum and type of picture frame and glass are all conservation issues.
Question:	What about overages?
Answer:	Online store quantites are as shown-usually packs of 10 mats. Small overages can occur in the wholesale/bulk program. If we cut into a large, 32 x 40 sheet of matboard, we complete cutting the entire sheet. For example, if you order 25-8 x 10's, we cut two sheets of matboard (16-8 x 10's per sheet). After cutting, they will go to quality control for inspection where a mat or two may be rejected due to blemishes in the paper or some other reason. We guarantee that you will be shipped no less than the 25 you order, nor more than the 32 we cut. You will be charged for all mats shipped to you.
