Here are some simple steps below:

• Cut off at least two 2-3cm strips (tabs) of acid-free, linen adhesive tape.
• Apply your adhesive tape strips to the back of the image, as couple of centimeters from either side along the top edge of your photo, print or artwork.
• To apply, peel back the release liner paper and position the tape in place.
• Slowly remove the release liner with one hand and apply the tape with the other hand, smoothing it in place with added pressure.
• Note - you should only have 5mm (0.5cm) of tape and adhesive holding your artwork.
• The rest of the exposed adhesive tape is then applied to the back of the matboard so that your photo or print can be suspended along the top of your matboard window. 
• Apply firm pressure to the tape and the window mat board by burnishing it (rubbing) so that it will adhere securely. 
• You do not need tape on all sides of the print or print. You only need to adhere tabs of acid-free linen tape to the top edge, so that your artwork or photo can just naturally hang down.
• You also should not apply acid-free tape all along the top edge, as this won't allow your print to expand and contract in different weather conditions, without rippling.

Please note, for any irreplaceable or high-value artwork, we would recommend that you always consult a professional custom framer or conservator, before using any self-adhesive tape for hinging. There are different methods of conservation hinging available, which may be more applicable for high-value artworks.
