Picture framing prices vary considerably so it’s difficult to know if you are getting value for money and of course, we all want value. In many cases you’re framing something of great personal value to you, so you want it custom designed, crafted with millimetre accuracy and preserved for life. On other occasions you want a less expensive option so you can hang a poster, certificate or replaceable photo where custom design and fit are less important.
In this article we introduce 4 price-points that cover all your framing needs and budgets, and we provide you with actual prices.
1. Custom Frames
Custom framing is the most popular choice for our customers due to the large number of framing options and combinations. A custom frame allows you to fit any size object into a frame and select any frame, glass, matboard and backing options that you can think of, so you can get creative.
With custom framing you can choose from a huge range of picture frame finishes, colours and timber materials and our Picture Framers Association (PFA) accredited staff will help you pick out the best framing combination to suit your work, style and hanging location. We will guide your selection of conservation and preservation quality options that ensures the longevity of your framed work.
As the name indicates, Custom Framing is truly custom, so it is very difficult to provide any indication of pricing due to the infinite number of size and selection options available to you. However, to give you an indication, a custom framed A4 certificate will start from $172 and a movie poster from $329.
