Backing Boards
For the back of your frames or in show kits. Any size available, multiple styles to choose from.
Backing boards come in any size. Mount board is used to provide support and protection for your artwork, either in a picture frame or as a standalone product in a show kit. We offer economy pressboard, standard matboard backing, archival quality backing, foam board (regular and acid-free) as well self-adhesive archival.
Economy backing board is fine for home use, but standard backing is thicker and provides more support. The larger your artwork, the more support you need. Foam board is much thicker than the economy backing and is the most popular for use in show kits.
Many of the frames purchased in local shops come with cardboard backing which will damage the artwork over time. For any original artwork we recommend an archival quality backing. Buy backing boards online by selecting your size and quantity below.

Customer Reviews
Ordering custom mattes was easy and quality was good.
Matboard and More was easy to customize and order a matboard from. I appreciated that there were different colors, thicknesses and options. This meant I could matte some sentimental (but not expensive) pieces at a price point that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Shipping was reasonably quick (especially since it's all CUSTOM) and was well packaged. The mattes were true to the colors I picked out online and sized exactly as I specified.
I used Matboard and More to remat and reframe an original watercolor that I found at auction. I was able to upload a picture of the watercolor and try on multiple combinations of outer and inner mats to get the exact right combination. For less than 10% of the cost of taking the picture to a frame shop I got the same quality and choice of colors. My mats came quickly and without any damage and I was able to assemble the picture, mat and frame in minutes. I am very, very happy with the product, interactive website, and shipping this company offers. Thank you Matboard and More.

Exactly as described. Great quality. Will order again.
Beautiful mat, perfectly cut and shipped quickly. Thank you
The mat was exactly the size I needed. Perfect fit! Color was gorgeous and complementary. Absolutely will order again. Mat was delivered as promised and the packaging made sure it was in perfect condition. Ordering was easy and user friendly. I have already recommended this site to several friends.
I ordered mats because you can’t find colored mats out there in the shopping world. These did not disappoint!
Everything went as expected! No problems and prompt service.
This is the second time I have ordered from this company and each time, I have received a perfectly done product. And it has always come quicker than expected. These matt boards turn a regular frame into a high end piece instantly. Highly recommend this company.
I chose the following options, below, for a piece of artwork I had. I already had the frame and glass but needed the matting. I was just going to go with the tan mat but once I saw it with the reveal mat I couldn't resist and am glad to have chosen this combination.
Olde Tan: #SRM1051 (White Core) &
Textured Black: #SRM989 (White Core)
Standard Backing Board
The website was excellent and very easy to use. The matboards were perfect and look great!
Love that your app makes it so easy to figure out what you need. Great selection of everything. Picture below.
Will definitely use Matboard And More for mats in the future. We took a gamble by ordering a mat size based on frame dimensions. The mat was delivered ahead of schedule and fit perfectly with our frame and photo. The website is great in providing preview images with your own photo and the mat size of your choosing inside a frame, as that really helped in selecting the color of the matboard. Having a store cut the mat and mount the photo to our frame would have cost more than twice as much. Communication was prompt and frequent - couldn't ask for more.
My order was easy to place, instructions were clear, and the mat delivered without issue. I used a custom mat to frame a 7.3" e-paper display in an 8x10 frame.
Having the option to choose exactly the size, color and type of mat at home without the hassle of a framing store is such a benefit. The shipping was quick. My grandson’s beautiful work of art is framed with a quality mat and looks fantastic. I’ve used this company many times.
I ordered 2 custom mats to frame 2 oddly sized pieces of art. I looked at a few places to order from but this site made it easiest to order the exact sizes I needed. The shipping was quicker than expected and I am very pleased with the quality of the mats. I will definitely order from here again in the future if needed!
