1. Custom Picture Frames
Every print, painting or handcraft does not have a standard size and it cannot be showcased by
a standard frame set and mat. Luckily there are many options for picture frames like custom
frames than a few standard frames. If your new print or a picture doesn’t fit in a 13x19 frame, it
is possible that you can create a unique frame which will fit for yours. Custom frames are the
best choice when you need a work of non-standard dimensions or to create a presentation that
replicates your personal style.
Why choose custom frames?
Custom frames give you full freedom for showcasing your prized art work, your treasured photo
or a unique print of yours. And also custom picture frames avoid unnecessary cropping of your
photo by using a wide range of dimensions. Custom frame contains all the sizing needs of your
artwork and prints.

2. Moreover, custom frames can build element by element to achieve the perfect effect based on
customer’s requirement. In a readymade frames or a standard frames you cannot change or
match your ideas but in custom frames it is possible to match your perfect molding and matting
to the image you want to frame. When you need a frame to make your decoration or
something, custom picture frames provide a better creativity in these choices.
Components used in Frames
It is important to understand the parts which are used in frames because custom frames are
created by matching those complimentary elements. There are four basic elements in frames
that are:




The moulding - An actual wooden or metal picture frame itself
The matboard - An optional component that gives additional visual element to frame.
The mounting board – A board which gives support to the back of the frame
Glazing - A transparent protective covering typically made of acrylic or glass.

3. Choosing mats for your frames
Matting is the important element to start when customizing your unique picture frame. First
you need to select a mat type that compliments the item to be framed. Generaly, the color and
the texture of the mat will be the important factor. Once you selected the mat, you have to
calculate the frame size you'll need. Calculating the frame size is very easy. For example, if you
want to frame a 13x19 photo, then a 13x19 frame cannot be suitable but an 18x24 frame if a
2.5" mat is to be used.

4. Sizing of a mat plays a major role in appearance. The general rule in this is to measure the item
which you want to frame and substract ¼” from your mat window opening. If you want to
create a double mat effect, substract 1/2” from the primary mat window opening and ¼” from
your secondary mat. Keep this in your mind and achieve different effects by changing thesee
dimensions.
