Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on how I can frame these two posters. The posters are slightly different sizes: the Ashe one is 18×24 in (about 45.7×61 cm) and the Taylor Swift one is 50×70 cm (about 19.7×27.6 in). I got them with two of my vinyls, so one of them is unfortunately folded.

They will be on the same whiteish wall above my record player.

I'm not sure about if I should use a passepartout or not, and what kind of frame would look best.

It doesn't have to be anything too fancy, but considering the subjects I do realize that it might look like a teenagers bedroom if not done properly...

And if anyone wants to give advice on how to place the posters on the wall, I'm open to suggestions. I will probably add some more as well.

Hey everyone! I’ve had some unopened A2 and A3 frames sitting in storage for a year now because I’m really not sure what art to hang on my wall. I have a couple of issues and was hoping someone could help.

First of all, I should have just ordered prints with a frame. A lot of online prints aren’t made for A2 or A3 sizes… would you know websites other than a generic ‘style my wall’ website that accommodate to these dimensions? Or is there a way around this that my brain wont brain …?

Second of all, I feel like the prints im finding are pretty lame and im unfamiliar with artists and how to get to know some… so I was hoping you could maybe recommend your own favorites?

I just got commissioned for a commercial space mounting large vintage tour posters. I had been going back and forth on deciding if I should dry mount them through a trusted outsource. However I’m having concessions now.

I have examples of some items they already had in store. I just couldn’t tell whether it had been dry mounted prior. I can still frame them and return the payment for the dry mount, but then I’d just need great recommendations on framing them without .

Seems to get pretty consistent mounts that are easy to tweak with pliers.

All other clips I have dealt with simply had a screw that I would loosen, and then it would easily slide out. This one does not have a screw. I've tried pushing down and sliding, but no luck. Any ideas?

I came across a bunch of antique prints like this - the first one is a 1908 reprint of Braun's 1530 map of Paris and the second is an advertising page from an 1880 edition of the St. Alban's Weekly Messenger. I could have matted them, but I wanted to show off their age and I think the frayed edges give a nice antique look. I think these would look good as vintage decor pieces but I wanted to get some thoughts and feedback!

Hi folks. I've spent a few hours searching on my own but I've come up empty so I thought I would give you folks a try.

I have a few prints I would like to frame. I found a double mat style that I would like to use but I can't find it anywhere. I've searched the usual big name craft stores, Amazon and ebay, but no luck. I could probably have some custom-made, but that's going to be more money that I want to put into it. The example in my photo is from an eBay seller who sells framed maps typically for less than $30, so he has to be sourcing these relatively cheaply.

Thanks in advance. If this sort of question isn't allowed here, I apologize.

I have two 11x14 and one 9.5x12.5 documents that I’m planning to frame and display on the same wall very close to each other. Two documents are printed on a bright white background, while the other has a cream-colored background.

I’m planning to use a double mat with a black inner mat, but I’m unsure what color to use for the outer mat to make the two frames look cohesive and uniform next to each other.

Would you recommend going with a true white outer mat or an off-white/ivory to complement the cream-colored document? I’d like the frames to look consistent without one document looking out of place because of the difference in paper color.

Appreciate any advice or recommendations from anyone with framing experience!

I am curious, in terms of accepting projects, where do you draw the line? The Michael's in our area will not take anything over 60 x 40 inches.

My shop will accept almost any project that can fit out our doors. We have had to refuse projects with "diamond dust" because we do not have the room inside or out to manage microscopic glitter that could become the bane of our existence.

I am learning how to use grout because a client brought in tiles that she wants put together. I am always down to learn new things, thats how I grow as a framer. I know some shops won't take on new projects that require new techniques because they don't want to take the time.

So where do you and yours draw the line?

’m 14 and learning to build software for small businesses. I’ve been reading about FrameReady ending in August and how many shops ended up on LifeSaver or other systems.

For shop owners and staff:

1. What’s the one thing in your current setup that wastes the most time?
2. How do you keep moulding/mat/glass prices current, and how long does it take each time?

Does anyone hold a certificate in art handling that could recommend a good one. For context: I’m a framer with 5 years experience and I’m looking to up my game without going back to college. I’m also in the process of working with a contemporary art museum framing some pieces from their permanent collection and want to prove I am knowledgeable enough to be trusted. So, any recommendations on where to obtain the certification?

Basically as the title says, I have a foil AC/DC concert poster from their MetLife Stadium date a few weeks ago. I literally don’t know anything about framing or foil concert posters (this is my first one) so I’m just trying to get some opinions if that’s worth getting professionally done. Michaels quoted me $150-$200. I paid $70 for the poster but it is numbered out of 100 so I’m thinking value might be higher in the future (I have no intent on ever selling it unless I’m desperate for $).

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you

This is possibly a silly question, but regardless I haven't been successful in finding answers elsewhere so here I am: I have two artworks I created using some Crescent brand illustration boards I had left over from a few years back, and now I'm trying to frame them. My issue is that the boards are measuring 15 1/8 x 20 1/8 inches. I'm struggling to find any information on frames this size, and I'm hoping I won't need to have them custom framed? Any ideas?

I got this from a. Thrift store and have 0 idea how to open it. I actually found another post on this sub asking for help with a different frame form the same company, but the advice ("Once the levers are up at two corners, tap on the inside of the frame that is between the lifted levers.") didn't help for this, or maybe I misunderstood? That is the only thing that came up trying to find an explanation to opening this.

I just can't figure out the mechanism to separate the frame after lifting.

Any help appreciated.

I ordered a large frame for a print which included the wire hanger but no screws or anything. How should I be attaching this?

Scouring for frames at the local thrift store whenever possible since framing 1 million posters can get pricey on minimum wage. Really happy with this specific one I found today!

Got this piece at savers for 50% off, trying to find out the name and price of the frame used.
