Good source for matboard?

Does anyone have a good source for buying mat board?

If you are going to use it for crafting and won't be needing the huge pieces, I recommend doing what I do: Make a trip to hobby lobby or Michaels and ask them for their scraps. They will usually give you a huge bag of stuff for 1 or 2 dollars. I have done that twice and have enough to make many things! (now to just use it lol)

I bought "scraps" (some as big as 12" x 18" pieces) from a framing shop. They were thrilled to get rid of it! I got a bag full for just a few dollars.

Hi, Sonya. I go to Ben Franklin's and buy a package of 8 1/2 x 11 matboard for $2.99. I think there are about 30 pieces in the package. Great deal! It is in the framing department on a shelf by the various frames. HTH!

I use it for covers for things that I want heavier, an example would be making a tag booklet but wanting a heavier cover.
