where to buy mat boards cheap?

[jano]

Our local photo club has some membership money left over, and we'd like to buy mat boards in bulk -- each month, we display out photos on 11x14 mat boards, but at $1.30 or so per board, it just feels stupidly expensive.

We found packs of 100 at B&H that together with shipping, comes to about $1.20 per mat board. I found a website that sold packs of 18 32x40s. These could probably be cut to size, and assuming some sort of geometry, we get to be around $1/11x14.

Appreciate ideas! 🙂

I bought a box of 100 11X14 50pt EZ mount boards for around $70 2 years ago. Ask for a free sample.

Thanks, I'll check them out. B&H has them for about $82, but add shipping of $25 and it all starts to add up.

I just found out one of our members knows how to bulk-cut these down to size, so we'll probably be going that route.

I found their brochure. UPS shipping was free and I got a 10% first-time-customer discount. $67- $6.70= $60.30🙂
