Anybody know a good source for mat board & other framing supplies?

I found www.unitedmfrs.com.

Anybody know any other good ones?

and was always happy. I haven't had to frame anything lately.

I'm going to start with 100 framed pics and if they sell, I plan to start a business.

I'm thinking about making the frames myself, because I have some woodworking experience.

The other option is to buy frames made in China for $12 each.

I kind of like the idea of "handmade in the USA" stamped on my product.

Handmade in the USA

:thumbsup:

Good luck.

LightImpressionsDirect.com
for matts and archival materials and storage. Some frames as well.

frankenframes.com
for all kinds of frames. The company is in TN, but I believe the frames are made in Haiti. Great prices.

from this company and have been pleased. Haven't ordered frames from them though.

(Hopefully, this won't jinx me, and have the order I absolutely, positively need by next Friday show up late...)

I'm deciding whether to get a mat cutter and DIY or order them pre-cut.

Thanks to everybody who responded.

......I just ordered some frames for my black and white enlargements (13 x 19), from here:

http://www.goldenstateart.com

Like many others, they're Made in China, but the quality is pretty good. They're wood photo frames that are 18 x 24, with acrylic (not glass), 1" outer edge, with a bevel, and 3/4" thick. They have hangers screwed into the back of the frame, for both landscape and portrait hanging.

A box of 6 was under $65, SHIPPED, via FedEx ground.

I also ordered pre-cut mats and backing, at what seemed to be competetive pricing, from here:

http://www.matcutter.com

I'm figuring that the total cost, per framed picture, will be right about $25 per, as follows:

Frame: $10.75
Paper: $2.50 (HP Premium Plus 13 x 19)
Ink: $3.50 (HP)
Mat: $4.50 (Acid-free, black or white core, 18 x 24)
Back: $3.50
Matting tape: .25

I use their eBay store all the time for mats, and have always been satisfied.
