Important: This product is a custom precision-cut matboard with no frame or cards provided. Frames shown in photos are optional add-ons.
Some cards belong in a binder.
Others deserve to be arranged with intention.
This fully custom display system allows you to design your own trading card layout from the ground up. Order a precision cut matboard on its own, or complete the build with an optional Vault or Lumen frame.
From spacing to alignment, every layout is defined by you and precision cut to match your submitted design and dimensions.
Each piece is prepared to order in our FrameLab workshop and built around your exact configuration, allowing you to create a fully personalised display for your collection.
No templates.
No fixed layouts.
Only your design, executed with precision.
How It Works
Custom builds begin with your layout.
Select your matboard size, enter your exact finished dimensions, choose your total number of card openings, and submit your layout for production. You may then optionally add a Vault or Lumen frame to complete the display.
Please follow the instructions shown in the product images carefully when preparing your layout and measurements.
Custom matboard builds from $55, with final price determined by size, card openings and selected options.

Card Sleeve Options
Choose how you would like to handle sleeves behind each opening:
• No Sleeves (Standard)
Sleeves are not included by default. This option is ideal if you prefer to fit your own sleeves and cards after receiving the matboard or completed display.
• Pre-Installed Sleeves
Choose this option if you would like sleeves fitted behind each opening before dispatch, allowing your cards to slide in easily without installing sleeves yourself.
Card sleeve selection affects final preparation and fitment.
Lighting Architecture
Lighting applies to optional Lumen frame orders only.
The LED system is recessed within the inner frame lip and concealed behind the matboard perimeter. Light diffuses across the internal edge to create a controlled halo effect.
Diodes are not visible when viewed front-on.
The standard Warm White configuration provides balanced, gallery-style illumination with adjustable brightness levels.
The optional RGB upgrade allows static colour selection. Each press cycles to a new colour. No flashing or cycling effects are included.
Subtle when dimmed.
Striking when elevated.
Materials & Protection
Frame orders include a clear lightweight acrylic front sheet selected for optical clarity and structural balance.
The included acrylic is not UV protective. Collectors requiring UV filtration may upgrade independently.
Matboard options:
• Black with White Core
• Black with Black Core
• White with White Core
• Custom Colour White Core
All matboards are selected for long-term display stability and precision edge finish.
Custom colour matboards require a valid colour code to be provided. Please refer to the linked colour chart when selecting a custom colour.
Please note: Black Core and Custom Colour matboards require specialty ordering and add an additional 10–15 business days to the standard production timeframe. This additional time is added on top of the standard production period.
Modular System
Your collection evolves.
Your display should evolve with it.
Each frame is built around a removable precision cut insert based on your submitted layout.
Matboards may also be ordered separately for collectors who wish to use their own frame or display solution.
Production, Handling & Dispatch
Every custom matboard or frame display is built to order and prepared in our FrameLab workshop.
Standard Production & Handling Time
Up to 10 business days prior to dispatch.
Extended-Time Variants
Certain configurations require additional preparation time.
Priority Build (+15%)
Reduces production time to 3–5 business days and moves your order to the front of the queue.
Priority Build is not available with extended-time variants.
By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept the production process and timeframes associated with custom-built displays.
Designed by You. Built to Last.
Whether arranging a small selection or a full collection, this system allows you to define exactly how your cards are presented.
Order the precision cut matboard on its own or complete the display with an optional frame.
This is not a fixed display.
It is a custom-built installation.
Because collecting is personal.
Display should be intentional.
