Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer
Do picture framing shops use flat file cabinets for mat board or mounting materials?
Picture framing shops use flat file cabinets for storing large sheets of mat board, foam core mounting board, specialty papers, and framing prints. Flat storage prevents the warping that mat board develops when stood vertically for long periods, which affects cutting precision. A well-organized flat file in a framing shop organizes mat board by color and thickness for quick selection during custom framing jobs. Foam core sheets and mounting boards also benefit from flat storage to maintain flatness for accurate mat cuts. For a production framing shop, a 10-drawer flat file organized by material type and color is a practical investment. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for flat file options.
