Mat opening is cut about 0.25 in smaller than the print on each side so the mat holds the edges. Borders are the visible mat reveal.

How these numbers are computed & sources
  • Aspect ratio reduces the 8x10 in print to lowest terms (ISO sizes are ~1:1.41).
  • "Frame without a mat" is the standard frame whose nominal size matches the print; if none matches, the nearest larger standard frame is shown.
  • "Frame with a mat" is the smallest standard frame whose per-side mat border lands in the comfortable 1.5-3.5 in range. Mat opening = print minus 0.25 in per side.
  • Standard frame sizes come from a fixed registry; we list no store inventory, prices, or product matches.

Sources for the size conventions:

  • Standard US picture-frame sizes (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 18x24, 20x30, 24x36, ...) are long-standing retail conventions.
  • ISO 216 A-series paper/print sizes (A4 210x297 mm, A3 297x420 mm, A2 420x594 mm) converted to inches at 25.4 mm/in.
