    destinations, for years. While completing your order, simply select your country when entering your shipping address.

If your country is part of our automated shipping quote process, you will receive the associated shipping charges 
    for that order. If that isn't the case, your order will receive a custom quote review by our Shipping Department, 
    and you will be emailed the cost of shipping prior to the processing of your order. Please note, certain very heavy

Question 19

What is a rabbet?

Accepted Answer

We know you're thinking of a fluffy, long-eared animal that hops its way around when you see the word "rabbet," 
    but one of those little cuties would be spelled "rabbit." When it comes to framing, a rabbet is the recess on the 
    back inside edge of the frame into which your artwork fits. "Rabbet size" refers to the depth of this recess, and 
    for most framing projects, any rabbet size is fine.

Custom Frames
             
             &
             
                Ready-Made Frames
            
            These frames have open rabbets, so they will work for almost any framing project.

Metal Frames

Most of our metal frames have enclosed rabbets. When you're framing a very thick piece - like a stretched canvas - in a metal frame,
                be sure to choose one with a rabbet that will accommodate the thickness of the piece.

Canvas Floater Frames
            
            The depth of your canvas should closely match the depth of your canvas floater.

Question 20

What is an open back or ready-made frame?

Accepted Answer

An open back ready-made frame is a standard sized picture frame. When you order a ready-made frame from pictureframes.com, you're saving money!
    That's because we've pre-assembled these frames to fit the most popular and frequently occurring sizes for 
    artwork, photography and documents. At pictureframes.com, these sizes include (in inches):

4x6
            5x7
            8x10
            8&half;x11

9x12
            8x12
            12x24

            12x16
            12x18
            18x24

14x18
            20x24
            20x30
            22x28

If the artwork you are framing has different dimensions than those listed below, order a Custom-Made frame for the perfect fit!

Question 21

Are your frames made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

We seek the finest quality materials and are proud that the vast majority of our frames are both sourced & made 
    in the USA. 100% of our finishing - including matting, glazing & backing - is from USA sources and all finished 
    products are assembled in the USA. We also use upcycled materials from USA sources wherever possible (ex: reclaimed 
    fence board and barn wood found right here in the USA).

Question 22

How will my frame arrive? Do I have to assemble it?

Accepted Answer

Ready-Made and Custom-Made frames are typically shipped assembled with free hanging hardware. However, most metal 
    frames will need to be assembled upon arrival. An easy assembly kit is included. All you need is a screwdriver.

Question 23

How do I hang my frame?

Accepted Answer

All frames ship with free hanging hardware which includes D-rings and hanging wire. For larger frames we suggest 
    hanging the frame directly from the included D-rings for stability.

Question 24

Do you use an industry standard allowance for your frames?

Accepted Answer

To help your art, acrylic front and backing all fit securely inside the frame without being TOO tight, we 
    typically allow for an extra &#8539;th of an inch allowance. So, your frame will be just slightly larger than the 
    image size you enter to hold everything properly.

Question 25

How do I measure my artwork for framing?

Accepted Answer

Measure the exact width (w) and height (h) of the outside dimensions of the image or artwork in inches. If you are planning to frame a canvas, measure from outside wrapped corner 
    to outside wrapped corner.

Question 26

Do the back of your frames come finished?

Accepted Answer

While we take great care to make sure each frame will look stunning on your wall, we do not finish the back of 
    our frames. As such, you may occasionally see some rough, unfinished marks on the back of our handcrafted frames 
    that include, but are not limited to, paint spots, scuffs, and measurement marks.

Question 27

Do you pattern match on frame corners?

Accepted Answer

We do not pattern match on frame corners. This is an eco-conscious decision that helps significantly
    reduce waste and save cost for our Creative Community. If you are looking for a closed-corner frame, please
    take a look at our 
    Ready-Made Frames Collections, 
    or our
    Photo Frames Collections, 
    each of which have frames with closed, matched corners and come in ready-made sizes only.

If you are looking for a custom sized frame with corners that match closely, consider our
    Studio Collection or
    Black Satin Collection.

For custom sized ornate frames that provide more closely matched patterns, try ornate frames with tighter patterns 
    such as those in our
    Slimwoods Collection.

We make sure every frame that hangs on your wall looks absolutely amazing and gallery ready.
    Our ornate frames with large patterns are no exception. Here are some examples of what these frames look like at the corners and in rooms:

RR2 Ornate Gold Picture Frame
            
             in Renaissance Collection

PAZ13 Ornate Antique Silver Picture Frame
            
             in Palazzo Collection

Question 28

What is glazing?

Accepted Answer

Glazing refers to the strong sheet of clear acrylic that covers and protects your artwork once framed.
    We offer four types of acrylic fronts with foamcore backing to fit your individual needs.

Classic (Clear Acrylic and Foamcore Backing)

Consists of a 3/16" thick foamcore backing board and "glass-like" 1/16" thick clear acrylic. This 
            bestseller is a classic finishing choice - perfect for artwork and photography of all kinds. Foamcore is 
            a great choice because it has a higher level of protection for framed items than corrugated backing. Its 
            white finish preserves the integrity of translucent artwork. It doubles as a dust cover thanks to its 
            neat, clean appearance, and it works well for dry mounting objects to the backing.

Classic Non-Glare (Non-Glare Acrylic and Foamcore Backing)

Includes all the same benefits as the Clear Acrylic option, but with one major distinction: the 1/16" thick non-glare acrylic cuts down the glare on items in direct light or near windows. Note: This finishing option should not be used with shadow boxes or presentations with more than one mat due to increased distortion.

Premium Heavy-Duty (Heavy-Duty Clear Acrylic and Foamcore Backing)

Consists of a 3/16" thick foamcore backing board and "glass-like" 3/32" thick clear acrylic. This best seller is a classic finishing choice - perfect for larger artwork and photography and shadow box presentations. Foamcore is a great choice because it has a higher level of protection for framed items than corrugated backing. It doubles as a dust cover thanks to its neat, clean appearance. The smooth, white surface is ideal for dry mounting objects and preventing ripples in thin artwork.

Premium Archival (UV Protective Acrylic and Acid-Free Foamcore Backing)

This framing option grants the best protection when preservation is the primary concern. Both the 3/16" thick, acid-free foamcore and the 3/32" thick UV protective acrylic helps guard an image against deterioration and fading - preserving your most treasured, irreplaceable items for generations. Perfect for: Vintage family photos, priceless artwork & historic and heirloom documents.

Question 29

Do you sell glass?

Accepted Answer

We offer acrylic glazing instead of glass for most of our custom, ready-made and metal frames. Acrylic is 
    shatterproof, lightweight and provides the same level of clarity as framing glass. It also offers the same UV 
    protection. Glass is only included in our all-inclusive presentations, available in the 
    Photo Frames 
    section of the website.

Question 30

Why is acrylic glazing an additional charge?

Accepted Answer

In an effort to ensure minimal waste and to keep costs low, we enable our customers to order their frame 
    components individually. Because many of our customers use our frames for their original paintings, which do 
    not require acrylic glazing, we give our customers the option of having acrylic glazing included in their order 
    whether they are framing an unstretched canvas, painting or ordering a print.

Question 31

What is the blue film on my acrylic?

Accepted Answer

The blue film is a protective film on the acrylic to prevent scratches and other types of damage during shipping. 
    Removal involves peeling the film off both sides of the acrylic glazing.

Question 32

Why didn't my frame come with acrylic front or backing?

Accepted Answer

Our frames don't automatically include acrylic glazing because not all artwork needs it. For example, the 
    professional Artist community that we serve would not need acrylic for their canvas paintings because glazing 
    would damage their work. So that's why we offer acrylic as a separate add-on item during the ordering process 
    after you select your frame. We never want to send you something that you don't need because that would be 
    wasteful.

If you have questions about acrylic front or backing call 
    800-332-8884 
    and one of our Customer Care Advisors will help you out.

Question 33

Do your frames come with a finishing kit?

Accepted Answer

Not all customers will need a finishing kit (the acrylic front and backing materials) with their frame purchase. 
    In order to reduce waste, a finishing kit is an optional selection you may choose to add on to a frame.

Question 34

Do you offer volume or bulk printing & framing services?

Accepted Answer

We provide high-volume printing and framing services through our Business Services department. Each and every bulk
    order receives a custom quote to provide maximum value for you. Call
    877-367-2689 
    for a free consultation or fill out our online

        made from 100% cotton rag for archival longevity.

            suitable for warm-toned color and monochromatic prints. Bamboo paper has excellent contrast & 
            sharpness and serves well for either black & white or color printing.

Question 36

How large should I make my own digital files?

Accepted Answer

If you know how to create your own digital files, make sure they are 300 DPI/PPI (dots per inch/pixels per inch) 
    at actual output (print) size. Also, make sure you use RGB (red/green/blue) because our printers and RIP 
    software are profiled to print only RGB files. We prefer .tiff format with no compression, but .jpeg format is 
    also acceptable. Note: For those of you using Photoshop or a similar program, remember to merge all visible 
    layers, including text layers.

Question 37

How large of an image can you print?

Accepted Answer

The max print size depends on which paper substrate you choose to print on. However, most of our state-of-the-art 
    printers will print as large as 50 x 80+ inches. (Length is not an issue because our papers come on long 
    continuous rolls.) We can print images with a minimum of 1-inch border as wide as 50 inches. We can stretch 
    canvases up to 50 x 50 inches. However, because of shipping costs, the largest presentation size (including any 
    frame) that you can order online is 48" x 83".

Question 38

Is it common to print a photograph on watercolor paper or non photographic paper?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With the advancement of the giclee method, many photographers are now enjoying the choice of art papers, 
    canvas, and other substrates to gain a desired texture, softening effect and image quality.

Question 39

Do you print on canvas?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have 2 types of canvas that we print on: Gallery Grade Satin Canvas and Gallery Grade Glossy Canvas. To 
    learn more about these types of canvas, 
    visit this canvas FAQ..

Question 40

Can I stretch my canvas prints when they arrive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but please take great care! Stretching a giclee printed canvas is a more delicate process than stretching a 
    blank canvas. If you stretch too tight, the image may look as though it is cracked. If your print is damaged as 
    you are stretching the canvas, we cannot be held responsible. We can stretch your canvas prints for you so that 
    you don't have to worry. If any damage occurs in the process, it will be reprinted at no cost.

How do I clean my acrylic print?

    happens&#8230; they reach out with their quiche-y covered fingers and poke your art leaving a ghastly smear. Oh,

    stability. A wood hanging system is then added to the aluminum composite. The hanging system comes complete 
    with wire hanger and circular wall protector pads to prevent wall scratches.

Question 57

Accepted Answer

Prints can be ordered in the 
    Canvas Prints 
    section in the top navigation. To get started, upload your image and choose your print size. Select the 
    'Print This Image' button. Choose your canvas or paper substrate and click the 'Add to Cart' button. If 
    you choose to print your image on a canvas, select the 'Rolled Canvas' option and click the 'Add to Cart'

Question 58

What frame should I choose for my canvas?

Accepted Answer

For 
    canvas floater frames, 
    we recommend selecting frames with a rabbet depth that is close to the depth of your canvas. If you choose a 
    floater frame that does not share the same depth as your canvas, then your canvas art will stand out beyond 
    the face of your canvas floater frame. Canvas also works well with other frames that are at least 2&half; inches 
    wide or have a deep rabbet to hold your canvas in place.

Question 59

What are giclée canvas prints?

Accepted Answer

Giclée (pronounced "gee-clay") is a highly sophisticated inkjet printing process that uses fade-resistant 
    archival inks to produce prints that last. Even museums have realized the vast potential of this technology, 
    making giclée editions a permanent part of their collections. Fine art giclée printing is now the print method 
    of choice for professionals. But you can create your own Giclée canvas print capturing cherished life moments 
    and your museum quality print will arrive beautifully vivid, ready to hang.

Question 60

What is the difference between &#190;" stretched canvas and gallery wraps?

Accepted Answer

A &#190;" stretched canvas is a classic presentation that's tautly stretched over an all-wood &#8541;" stretcher 
    bar and stapled in place for a finished depth of &#190;". Stapling is always done on the back for the more 
    professional look that sets us apart from our competitors. This classic size is the most frame-friendly depth, 
    finished with a standard, white border wrap and works well with hundreds of frame choices. A gallery wrap uses a 
    thicker, all wood stretcher bar for a final depth of either 1", 1&half;" or 2". It's most commonly used when 
    the canvas is hung unframed as a stand-alone work of art or in a canvas floater frame with exposed edges. 
    Choose from three border styles - mirrored image, black or white.

Question 61

What is a mirrored image border?

Accepted Answer

The very edges of your image will be copied and flipped to cover the outer edge of the gallery wrap. The 
        entire original work will be visible. It's just an artistic way to add visual interest to your canvas 
        print (Just be careful selecting this option if the edge of your image has people or words).

Question 62

What is a rolled canvas?

Accepted Answer

Rolled Canvases are prints only, with a 2&half;", white border around the edge of the canvas. A great choice 
    for professional artists and photographers who want greater flexibility for mounting and framing, it's a 
    more economical solution because it requires no additional stretcher bar materials and it's easier to ship.

Question 63

Question 64

How big can I go with my canvas?

Accepted Answer

The size is going to be determined by the quality of your image. We can create stretched canvas up to 50" 
    wide. We put the most innovative Image Enlargement technology to work so you can get the larger than life images 
    you want, without losing much (if any) quality. From older phones (prior to iPhone 5), we'll print 22x12 inches, 
    max. From a newer phone (Pixel 2, iPhone 7 or later) that shoots at 4032x3024, we can print an image up to 
    4' x 6'. Now, that's big!
