Hi Debbi,

Although you can sometimes find off the shelf frames with multi-openings they are usually for 4x6 or 8x10 and usually a complete frame as opposed to just mat. Companies like mine can do custom multi-opening. Assuming the overall mat is going to be horizontal, the question is will the 11 x 8.5's be horizontal or vertical. If you want 1 inch border between the openings, and a 2 inch border around the outside:

Vertical results in a 31.5 wide x 15 tall
Our 4-ply museum quality mat would be $12.54 + $2.50 setup fee + S&H

Horizontal results in a 39 wide x 12.5 tall
Our 4-ply museum quality mat would be $14.56 + $2.50 setup fee + S&H

We also have less expensive paper mat board and more expensive 8ply rag board. You can get prices for other configurations on our website by selecting custom in the size pull-down and entering in temporary opening size and borders such as 37x12.5 and 1 inch borders so the external size comes up correct. You can also order on the web just make sure you leave a note in the special instructions that the mat will be multi-opening and then call, email, or fax the specifics.

Of course if you have any other questions feel free to contact me offline.

Cheers,
Mark
