Specifications

Please note: Specifications are provided as a guide only.

We try very hard to keep these up to date and correct, but if a particular specification is really critical to you, then please double check the specification directly with the manufacturer.

  • Construction
    Single Ply, Clay Coating
    Single ply with a triple clay coating on both sides. This is not a layered product like 2 ply or 4 ply matte board.
  • Weight
    620 GSM
    Grams per square metre - the weight of the board
  • Thickness
    Approx 1mm
    Quite rigid, especially at the smaller sizes. Multiple sheets can be layered to achieve greater rigidity at the larger sizes if needed.
  • pH Neutral
    Also known as acid free. These are neither acidic nor basic.
  • Buffered
    These are not calcium buffered. Whilst buffering can provide further protection against acidification through age, it can also have adverse reactions with protein based materials.
  • Conservation Appropriate
    Suitable for long term print storage and mounting, as well as for presentation tasks. Note though the sizing is not mm perfect and thus they are not per se designed for mounting.
