Archival Methods Conservation Mat Board, 8x10", 2 Ply, Pearl White, Package of 25

This board is thinner than matboard, but that's its strength for some applications. Unlike matboard, it can be carefully scored and folded at 90° angles. Like standard cardstock, it has a grain that handles scores and folds along one dimension better than along the other; unlike cardstock it really doesn't handle 180° folds very gracefully, even along the grain. I use this board to make boxes, and to create thin but stiff cards for a matching game (bonding to a patterned paper on one side with a dry-mount process). The two sides seem pretty much equivalent: they have a mildly coated texture not especially designed for pens or stamps, but they do accept dye-based color fairly well, and they handle pigment-based processes very crisply. The color is more natural/cream than bright white.

I use this for crafts. As it is 2 ply it can be cut pretty well with a scissors.

These are thinner than I thought they would be, and they are much flimsier. I have used acrylic paints on other mat boards, and they held up much better. I ordered these thinking they were just as good, but they curl up like a cat in front of a fire. Except I like cats. I don't really like these. I know that I'm not using them for their intended purpose, so take this with a grain of salt.

Very consistent surface. High quality and nice finish. Not cheap but worth the money where finish is important.

Just what I needed. Flexible enough for my projects. Nice quality

good stuff.

As other reviewers have said, it is pretty lightweight, but sufficient to provide some support for matted artworks in protective envelopes.

Bought some of this to mat some photographs.This is very thin mat board. Almost like poster-board. Definitely not robust. It works, but only because I didn't have time to buy more robust mat board.Served it's purpose, but I won't buy this type again.
