About us

The Mat Cutting Company, established in 1995 in Sydney's historic Rocks district, began as The Card Framing Company. We quickly gained international recognition for our expertise in matting and framing Cigarette and Trade cards. Initially, all mat boards were hand-cut, but in 1997 we invested in one of Australia's first Gunnar Computerised Mat Cutters. This technology enabled us to create complex and precise mat board layouts, further solidifying our reputation for high-quality card framing.

This investment also allowed us to produce standard picture mounts, opening up new possibilities for high-quality mat board production runs at competitive prices. In 2000, we registered as The Mat Cutting Company, expanding our services to photographers, artists, and individual craftspeople, offering a wide range of mat boards.

In 2003, we relocated from our Rocks gallery to Dromana on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Our focus remains on supplying mat boards in any size or quantity, complemented by competitive pricing for bulk orders. We specialise in designing and cutting custom mat boards to meet virtually any need. From single or multi-window mat boards to double mats, V-grooves, and matching backing boards, we can create the perfect mat board for your project.

And, of course, we continue to produce what many consider the finest quality cigarette card mats available.
