Why Should You Use a Passepartout?

Using a passepartout for pictures and photos not only enhances their presentation within a frame but also protects the artwork from premature aging by preventing direct contact with the glass. For those unfamiliar, a passepartout is a cut-out paper mat with an opening in the center, placed within a frame. These are available in various colors to best match the frame and the artwork.

Passepartout Options from Estancia>

If you run a store, offering passepartouts alongside frames and pictures is a natural addition. Customers often struggle to find the perfect frame for their own photos, and instead of cropping a picture, a passepartout can solve the problem while actually enhancing the image. When used correctly, a passepartout seamlessly complements the artwork without drawing attention to itself. A great tip is to prepare some samples for display in your store.
