Why use TJ's Mat Works?

At TJ's Mat Works, we combine state of the art technology with old fashioned quality and service. We have been providing our mat cutting service longer than many of our competitors and we know our equipment and our customers needs.

Our computerized mat-cutter and attention to detail assure that:

  • The inside opening of your mat will be beautifully beveled.
  • The outside of the mat has a vertical edge - this minimizes the danger of paper cuts when you handle the outside edges of the mat.
  • Every mat you order has the opening size you require.
  • There are no unsightly overcuts at the corners of your mat.
  • You receive only usable, quality mats - you never have to worry about stocking matboard, damaged matboard or disposing of waste.
  • If you need smaller mats that can be cut from the fallout of your larger mats, we will cut the mats at the same time and discount the smaller mat(s) to save you money.
  • We will use the most efficient layout possible to cut the maximum number of quality mats from each piece of board to keep costs down.
  • Because our equipment cuts with computerized precision, you can order large quantities of mats with complex cuts, knowing that each mat will be identical.
  • After completing your custom mat design, we keep the mat design template on file. This makes it easy to reorder mats, even complex mat designs, and removes mats as one of your production headaches.
  • We carefully pack your picture mats using quality shipping techniques and materials so that your mats arrive in perfect condition.
