Reused Matboard

The matboard I use is given to me by MKN Cannon Framing LLC, located in Metairie, LA. They typically have tons of leftover matboard pieces in stock. They either keep a matboard until it is too small for another piece to be cut from it or until they clean out old stock. Reasons for getting ride of the old stock may include such factors as the color or style is outdated, rarely requested, aged, stained, or because they simply need to make room for new stock. The old stock is often donated to schools or just thrown away.

Matboard is often made from wood pulp or cotton fiber pulp. The process of making matboard is similar to that of the paper, but with different additives, dyes, and finishing chemicals.
