Have a CMC and can't sell up graded mattes?
Try this: take and cut an 11 x 14 or 8 x 10 of every mat style (double mattes work best) use the same colors for all so choose a good color scheme. Then take the top 14 inches above your moulding samples and use velcro to hang them up. You may have more samples than space. I rotate different ones weekly or monthly. It does help to show. I also cut the 11x 14 borders 2"top,sides, 2.25 bottom and the 8 x 10 borders 2.125"TSB. Every so often I change color schemes and just sell the samples as ready made mattes. Works for me. What works for you?

If you do not have the room to put them on your wall then cut the mats a little smaller than a 8.5 x 11 and put them in plastic sleeves in a 3 ring binder for people to look at or for your salespeople to show. You more than likely will need 2-3 binders.
