If you have a business name you can use Decor in Hauppauge, NY. They are a
frame wholesaler and have lots of mat board types to choose from. Check them
out on the web. They have a pdf catalog as well.

I only buy three colors. Usually the more you buy the cheaper it gets. The
mat board does not go bad like food so you can buy as much as you can afford
and store. Just make sure you get it in a plastic bag inside a cardboard
box. Keeps it clean, dry and away from light that fades. The fewer colors
the better. Keep the cut outs. You might want to do some small prints.

Don't buy mat board at Aron Bros. or a similar retail shop. Way too
expensive. I would think Cleveland would have a framer supply shop so you
could buy wholesale. Go to Crescent Mat web site and look for sources. You
should not have to pay more than the prices I gave you.
