RagMat Whites — White is the purest and brightest of the RagMat whites. Palm Beach White is roughly halfway between White and Antique White. Antique White has a slight reddish and yellowish cast, but not as strong as Cream.
Tan and Beige Colors — These colors are slightly more red and yellow than the neutral grays. French Buff and Mist are the lightest, while Sand and Sandstone are the darkest and reddest of this series. French Buff is slightly redder than Mist, which is the closest of the Tan and Beige group to a neutral Gray. Sandstone is slightly lighter and redder than Sand. Olde Tan Flannel is also a reddish beige, lighter than Sandstone, but darker than French Buff, and it has a textured surface. Pearl is a more neutral beige, darker than Mist.
Handling Charge — When ordering sheets of paper or board larger than 18” x 24” in quantities of less than 10, a $3.00 per order handling fee applies. Paper or boards may be assorted to reach the quantity of 10.

Very Nice!

Comments about Crescent RagMat Matboard:
The darker colors are gorgeous and the quality seems excellent. Some cupping in the full size sheets but thats expected after shipping (humidity). It should pose no problem once put into a frame.
Great packaging for a superior product
By ET Photo

It's Crecent Ragmat so it's by definition superior quality. What really impressed me was Dick Blick's packaging. The corners were reinforced with extra cardboard for extra protection. That tells me DB really cares about their customers. Oh yeah, excellent price too.
Excellent Product, packaging not so good
By Warfiea
I use Crescent CR1602 (White) matboard almost exclusively for making mats for framed photographic prints. They are the same whether I get them from Dick Blick or elsewhere. Dick Blick has pretty reasonable pricing, and I can't find this exact material that many places. However, their packaging is not good enough to prevent one or more the edges from getting bent, which limits the use of the 32x40 sheets. It prevents me from using the bent edges of the sheet depending on how I size the boards. Better boxes, or increased support for the sides and edges would prevent this. I would recommend this to a friend but inform him or her that there is likely to be some damage in shipping which may or may not allow use of the whole sheets.
Good deal

Excellent four-ply for mounting and matting artwork - pH neutral and buffered.
Great product to showcase my fine art photography

This is a great product for showcasing my fine art infrared photography. Dick Blick shipped it quickly and took care to package it so that the corners of the matboard would not get dinged.
Good service

Crescent Rag mat boards are excellent for my matting needs. Blick's are clean never creased or bent, well packed. They arrive in a timely manner.

I use rag mats exclusively !
By Cnp

I mat my drawings with rag matts as the time it takes (months & months to complete). I also use white matts on framed photos. If you want your art and photos to last you should be using rag matts.
Great customer service and product delivery was super fast.
