Missing the plastic sleeves

I am a wildlife and nature photographer that produces and sells fine art prints of my work and as such, I recently purchased 3 separate orders of these mat sets...The first, a pack of 10 16x20 white mats, arrived in pristine condition - they were packed nicely in a purpose made box that prevented them from moving around during shipping while providing more than adequate protection and the mats and backing boards themselves were accurately cut... if that was how ALL of these sets arrived, I would be giving a 5 star rating... however, that was not the case with the two more recent orders of 25 set packs.The first of these two 25 set orders arrived with very slight damage to one corner... the packaging for this larger quantity pack was not as adequate as the previous 10 piece pack... the box lacked the inner protection so there was slight damage to the one corner... presumably caused by mishandling during shipping and thus not the vendor's fault entirely - perhaps if the packing featured the same internal protection measures as the 10 pieces packs, the issue would not arise, and again the rating would be 5 star...However, my most recent order of a pack of 25 sets was most definitely a problem that was entirely the manufacturer's fault... the backing boards and the mats were cut off-square and did not match up perfectly like the previous sets. Unfortunately, the issue wasn't apparent until I got to the 5th or 6th set... I had already assembled several of the sets and mounted prints in them before the issue became noticeable and with each consecutive board, the error became increasing noticeable. Once properly assembled with hinging tape along the top edges, the bottom and one of the side edges did not match up exactly - Ordinarily, this wouldn't be too much of an issue IF I was just using them for the artwork that I produce for display in my own home since I could hide the error inside a frame, but these were used for artwork that I produced for an upcoming art/craft show that I have a vendor slot in (which happens to be tomorrow) and as such, the issue with the boards/mats causes a reduction in the quality of my finished product - If I were framing the prints with these mats/boards then it wouldn't be too big of a deal, but I'm not framing them, these are being sold as matted prints where my clients can choose their own frames - this makes the error noticeable to them and, as a result will more than likely cause me to have to reduce my prices to accommodate an issue that should not be mine to accommodate...Had I noticed immediately instead of half way through mounting several prints - which obviously cannot be unmounted without causing damage to the prints, and had there been enough time to return these for replacement, then I likely would not be quite so disappointed with the most recent order...Golden State... I want to purchase your products again in the future as they save me an enormous amount of time, but if this is the kind of thing I can expect - inadequate packaging, uncertainty as to the quality of a particular batch of you products, and obviously the lackadaisical approach to quality control that seems to be occurring within your organization, then I guess I'm going to have to find a different source for my matting needs.

Nicely packaged. Great value. Use to present my art work for sale.

Was very happy to receive my 10 Picture Mats. Extremely well packaged, so no dents at all. Order received was beyond my expectations because in addition to the mats, they provided clear cellophane sleeves and white backing boards for framing. I ordered the white & was pleased it was a pure White with no cream/yellow undertones. Would buy from this seller again!

Normally Gokden State Mat sets are in good shape. Occasionally an issue. The bags in this order are incredibly wrinkled. I can't use them. Insted of calling and hassling though the replacement process with photos and such, I'm just giving them 3 stars. Guess that's fair since I know they might help with replace... I am just too dang busy to bother with it. Disappointed but hey, whatever.

Exactly what I needed. The mats are precision-cut, mat and backing are acid-free, and the transparent bags have the adhesive so it won't get on your picture. I appreciate that their white is actually white (unlike others), and even the packaging is perfect, so everything comes with no dings. Highly recommend, and I will order again.

Very easy to use and great quality for the price. Great for craft fairs!

As a photographer, I chose this product for its convenience. The Art Pack includes almost everything I need for mounting photos for competitions. I see some people have complained about damage during shipping, but my carton arrived all the way to the Pacific Coast in fine shape. If you have time, you could put everything in this pack together for less, but hey there's always a price for convenience.

Good quality mats. Great kit to purchase.

Excellent product, well packaged so no dents or creasing. Will definitely order again

Used for art show.

Good quality. Worked well
