Not everything that is framed belongs in a museum. But everything worth framing deserves lasting protection.

That’s why professional framers choose cotton.

Good, Better, Best comparison: Wood Pulp contains lignin (short-term care); Alpha-Cellulose is purified wood fiber (long-term care); 100% Cotton is naturally lignin-free (permanent care)

100% cotton contains no lignin. No acid. No acid burn.

Cotton is the only mat board that preserves art and value over time.

Why Rising

100% cotton is the starting point. Precision is what sets Rising apart.

Cleanliness
A cleaner cotton board with fewer specks and imperfections showing up in the bevel.
Consistency
Reliable color, texture, and thickness — sheet to sheet, job to job, year after year.
Cutting Performance
Smooth, controlled cutting that produces sharp, clean bevels with less resistance on the blade.

You feel it when you cut it. You see it in the finished work.

Why It Matters.

When a customer chooses to frame something, it holds deep value. It is up to us to ensure that value lasts forever.

Wood-based boards contain lignin. Over time, lignin breaks down and releases acid into the artwork.

100% cotton contains no lignin. No acid. No acid burn.

Cotton is the only mat board that preserves art and value over time.
