What is the actual size of the mat opening?
The reason for the smaller "actual" opening size is to create a 0.25" overlap on all sides so that the matting sufficiently covers and correctly adheres to the photo or print for proper display. (e.g., the mat opening for an 12 x 12 inch picture will measure 11.5 x 11.5 inches)

What size matted frame do I need?
We typically suggest a mat border size that is larger than your frame width, so for example, if you had a 1″ wide frame around this print, you could use a 1 1/2″ mat border, making the outside of the mat 9″ x 7 3/4″ in this case. I have a 16*20 print and want it in a 20x3O frame.

How much bigger should a frame be than the picture?
