Vogue Folio Box - 11x14

Our mats come in 4 difference styles:

1. Slip-In Plain

2. Slip-In VGroove

3. Self-Assemble Plain

4. Self-Assemble VGroove

Firstly, the difference between Slip-In and Self-Assemble is how the photographic print is inserted into the mat. A Slip-In mat is sealed on 3 sides on the backing board and one short side has been unsealed allowing for a print to be slipped in hence the name Slip-In mats. Self-Assemble mats have been designed for photographers who struggle to slip-in their prints or are printing on fine art papers which are normally thicker, therefore more difficult to slip-in. A Self-Assemble mat has been permanently attached to the backing board on one long side, 2 other sides (one short and one long side) have had double sided tape applied to the backing board but not yet sealed. So, prints can be easily placed into the mat by gently lifting the top mat and positioning the print, then simply peel and seal the other 2 sides of the mat. At this point the mat is converted into a Slip-In mat.

Secondly, the difference between Plain and VGroove. A Plain mat has a print aperture with a bevel cut centered on the top mat. A VGroove mat has the print aperture with a bevel cut centered on the top mat and then an additional groove cut into the mat approx. ¼inch in from the print opening.

PLEASE NOTE:

Not all print sizes are available in all mat styles.

If your desired print size is not available in your selected mat style change the mat style.
