Mats @ Wholesale Prices

[Grady Weed]

I'm trying to buy mats in larger wholesale quantities. I am interested in buying about 200-300 mats at a time. In searching the web, I came across Redi-Mat. They offer pricing about 1/3 to half less than buying retail at local arts & crafts stores. Has anyone ever heard of this company? If anyone has purchased from them, have you had a good experience? Is there a better, less expensive, more reliable mat/supply company you could recommend? Quality is more important than cost.

I have been getting all of my framing materials from :
www.framedestination.com (http://www.framedestination.com)

High quality, great prices, and excellent service.
They are geared toward photographers and are very helpful over the phone.

Matcutter.com is where i get mine. The 10 packs of achival are only like $69.00 for 12x18 windows with 18x24 outside.

I use matshop.com and have been happy.

I use clearbags.com in standard cream white with green 1/4 inch inner mat and have been very happy.

I checked out all the above recommended sites and gathered some valuable data. Many thanks to you all.

If quality is most important go with the cotton mats as they are the standard for the industry by which all others are measured

8 ply is what i use and the depth is the reason

Not cheap but worth every penny when shown

also cotton is easier to clean than the alpha paper cover archival mats
