Which Mat Board Is Right For Your Artwork?

Many budding artists or first time framers aren't sure what mat board is or which type is right for their project. There are so many types of mat board that it can be confusing. But Mat Board Plus makes choosing the right mat board easy thanks to our huge selection of pre-cut mat boards in a variety of styles, sizes, and opening types. Mat board is essentially a durable, thin cardboard material that frames your artwork and photography, with the added benefit of separating the art from the glass of the frame. 

We have economy, standard, specialty and conservation mats available for your artwork. Our economy mats are an affordable means to frame your art, and they are available in white or black core mats. Standard mats come in black or white core options, but they also have gallery board options that are a thicker 8-ply mat that resembled what you might find framing the art in galleries and museums. Our specialty mats come in suede and designer finishes for artists who want a more polished or dramatic look to their framing. Finally, our conservation mats are acid and lignin-free, so your artist can be protected for decades to come. This is museum-grade matting! 

Many companies sell mat board that isn't already cut. While you can cut the board yourself, it isn't always easy for a new artist to master. Pre-cut mat board eliminates the hassle and saves you a great deal of time that you can use on other projects. We cut our mat board to your specifications, including the opening size and shape. It's still extremely affordable, and buying our mat board in bulk quantities will save you even more. Find the right type of mat board for your project and specify your customization options. We'll get it cut and on its way to you in no time!
