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
Fantastic service, quick, good quality and affordable
This is my 2nd order and I definitely appreciate the quality of the mats. They have always been done to the exact measurements that I have requested.
I will be a return customer for the 3rd order here soon. Thank you all for a great product.
The mat was amazing! Super quality I couldn't be any happier. Blue outer Mat with gold around the inside.
From the website to the finished product, Matboard & More delivered a high quality experience. The site was comprehensive and allow me to create a custom frame and mat without worrying it would be wrong. The best feature was the ability to add a photo to see what the final project would look like. I was thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Matboard & More.
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
