Computerized Mat Cutting
Our computerized mat cutter allows us to create almost any shape…going far beyond the rectangle! Choose from V-groove cut-outs, letters, shapes, and other creative embellishments for a truly personal design.
Customized Name Mats: Create a truly singular gift with acid-free letter name mats. Choose your text and graphics and the shapes are filled with your personal photographs of an event, theme or subject. Most popular: “I (heart) Grandma”, “Love”, “Teacher”, team names, and vacation spots.
Window Shape Templates, Cut Art Shapes and V-Grooves: Framing Arts can offer over one hundred different Template Designs–perfect for signature mats, wedding and other event and theme photos. V-groove (a border line or decorative shape etched into the mat) and cut art shapes can be added to make a genuinely one-of-a-kind mat.
Signature Mats: Frame a photo of a special event with an archival mat signed by all the family, friends, and guests in attendance. Signature matted photographs are a unique and personal keepsake for weddings, birthdays, retirement parties—the list is endless.
Computerized Visualization Service
Our Computerized Visualization Service allows our customers to instantly view and compare multiple design options. It’s a fast and easy way to make the absolute right choice. A camera mounted above our design table takes a digital photo of your art, mouldings, and mats. With a click of the mouse you can view and compare your different designs on our computer screen. You can even see your wall color behind it!
