Framing configuration options fall in 4 different categories: cropping, moulding, matting and glazing.
Step 1: cropping
Some art prints have a white border, which you can remove under the cropping tab. Extra large prints need to be cropped in order to be framed.
Step 2: moulding / frame
There are 63 different frame choices available. Choose from frames such as brushed silver, standard black, rustic mahogany and many more.
This blog post explains how to choose a good frame.
Step 3: matting
Choose from among a variety of different mat colors and sizes. White matting is standard, but you can use different colored matting to create spectacular visual effects and highlight specific colors in the art print. Depending on size, art prints can be matted with zero, one, two or three mats.
This blog post explains how to choose the number and color of the mats.
Step 4: glazing
We offer plexiglass or glass. The benefits of acrylic are that it is lightweight and more resistant to breaking. Acrylic is a good option for large prints in high traffic areas. Both acrylic and glass have standard and non-glare options. Museum Glass® is also available to help protect your art print from fading with its 99% UV protection. Glass and Museum Glass® availability depends on size.
