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
I will definitely reorder mats from you!
Had an odd sized custom print that I had failed at measuring properly previously. The agent walked me through all the measurements and my piece is finally displayed properly. Perfect 10.
The site is so easy to use with great suggestions when needed. My frames and mats were perfect and exactly what I wanted. This is my second time ordering from here. I will be ordering again.
I received a beautiful postcard from Japan that I wanted to frame. I chose an 11 x 14 frame because I really wanted to give the card a presence. I mounted the postcard on matboard that I hoped would bring out the colors in the trees, and I was not disappointed! The color and quality were just as described. I chose a wood frame to bring out the brown tones in the card, and again, the frame was just a pictured. It's a very rich look and a great value. I'm so pleased!
Most impressive was the packaging for the mat. The mat arrived with no bends, crinkles or folds. It was double packaged so it would arrive at my home flat and ready to place in frame. Thank you!
Mat board was perfect for my artwork. Very pleased with quality, service and price.
Easy ordering, quick turnaround time, good communication with order status. I already placed another order.
I needed to complete framing a photo and paw print from my beautiful cat who passed recently. Worked very well.
I have used Matboard and more many times. They never disappoint. Great product and quick delivery!!
Great result, fast service.
I needed a custom matboard made for a very important project I was doing and my wife referred me to Matboards and More. I am not a wiz on the computer, but the process was easy. The project included 2 different sized openings each with different spacing. I am very detailed oriented and the matboard came out PERFECT, and at half the cost of the frame shop! Thank you!
I sent in my measurements and it fits perfectly.
It was exactly what I expected. My silk prints fit per
This is my second purchase, and the mats are superior quality! I will definitely be ordering more in the future and referring my friends and family.
Mat board turned out exactly as expected, was packaged carefully to avoid damage, and arrived on time. The quality is great. I got the higher tier whitest white, and it is crisp pure white, which is exactly what I wanted for my gallery wall. I was happy to be able to customize a mat board to fit my existing frames.
Ordering a mat should be easy. After 2 failed attempts with another company I turned to Matboard. I received excellent customer service and am very happy with the results.
