Matting and Framing: Precision Cutting our Mat Board

Ever wonder how American Frame gets the matting and framing so precise? See how the mat board specialist goes about cutting the mat exactly as it’s been ordered.

Our mat board specialist begins by choosing the proper materials requested on the customer’s invoice that travels with the order through production.

 From a wide variety of colors, thicknesses and textures the mat board is selected for cutting.

Then, with order in hand our specialist proceeds to enter the dimensions into our automated mat board cutter.

Border sizes are enter into the system first, then the mat’s outside dimensions.

Once all dimensions are entered, the appearance and orientation are reviewed on the computer screen to see how the final layout will appear.

If everything checks out, the board is placed on the mat plotter for accurate, automated cutting.

The cut button is pressed on the display screen, then Zip Zap Boom! The mat is cut cleanly with precision and a fine sharp 45 degree bevel.

Once completed, the final product is inspected, and packaged with care for delivery from our facility to your doorstep.
