Step 1
The Framing 4 Yourself “Show Kit for Prints” package includes everything you need to present prints for retail.
Step 2
Place the window mat face down and lay the print image side down in the window.
Step 3
Peel the release paper off the back of one of the self-adhesive mounting strips.
Step 4
Assemble the strip along the edge of the print with the Mylar flange overlapping. Adhere the strip to the back of the mat.
Step 5
Assemble strips along each edge of the artwork. The Mylar flanges trap the print in place. This makes it easy for the customer to remove the print.
Step 6
Align the backing board and window mat (with the print already mounted) edge-to-edge along the top edge.
Step 7
Apply the white artist’s tape in two places. Apply a tab horizontally and a second tab vertically to form a hinge.
Step 8
The window mat will now hinge onto the backing board.
Step 9
Slip the mounted and matted art into the crystal clear plastic bag.
Step 10
Remove the pull tab to expose the adhesive on the bag’s flap.
Step 11
Close the flap toward the back of the matted print and seal it.
Step 12
Your matted print is ready for retail.
