Our
picture frames are produced
using quality picture
frame moulding. The first
step in our production
process involves cutting
the moulding to length
using one of our 10 precision double
mitre saws. Then, the
frame legs are assembled
on one of our many v-nailing
machines. This picture
frame production process
allows
us to provide superb
pricing based on volume
production.
Following
this, each of our frames
is assembled with glass
or styrene, black backing
or cardboard backing,
and either an easel (for
table top use) or wall
hanging hardware. Flexible
tabs are used to affix
these
items into the frame.
These allow for
easy installation of
your picture, print,
poster,
or artwork. This process
also allows us to, once
again, verify the quality
of your frame. Each
frame
is inspected as it is
assembled to
ensure that
you receive a picture
frame that is of the
best quality possible.
Finally,
all picture frames are
packaged using our time
tested method which ensures a
safe delivery. We have
worked for many
years to develop a packaging
system which meets all
shipping standards and
provides the most protection
for your products. We
have developed specially
sized boxes to allow
for a sufficient amount
of packing material
to cushion your picture
frame shipment. Poster
frames are shipped individually
in specifically
designed poster frame
boxes. Our poster frames
are packaged with custom
designed foam spacers
which allow the frame
to "float" in the box,
safe from harm. It
is
our goal to ensure
the safe delivery
of
your product. If,
for
any reason, a product
arrives damaged we
are always happy to
work with you to provide
a full refund or replacement
order.
Our
Materials:
Wood
frames: Many of our frame
mouldings are made from
wood material. The majority
of our wood mouldings
use Ash or Poplar. We
do have a small number
of Oak mouldings available.
MDF
frames: MDF is a wood
particle composite material
which is used in many
modern building applications.
MDF provides durability
and cost effectiveness
as
a picture frame material.
Polystyrene
frames: Polystyrene is
a plastic material. This
material allows for a
wide variety of frame
styles as well as being
a light weight, cost
effective frame solution.
Styrene:
Styrene is used in our
poster frames as a replacement
for glass. This is a
plastic material similar
to plexiglass. Styrene
provides additional durability
in all of our larger
poster frame sizes.
Black
backing: This backing
material is roughly 1/8"
thick, non-corrugated
cardboard. This material
provides a rigid and
great looking backing
for any picture frame.
Cardboard
backing: Corrugated cardboard
backing is used in many
of our larger poster
frame sizes. We have found
that this material provides
rigidity and cost effectiveness
in
our poster frames.
Hanging
Hardware / Easel: Easels
are used on many of our
smaller frames for table
top use. Our easels are
produced from the same
black backing material
as stated above to ensure
a perfect color and texture
match. Mid sized picture
frames include horizontal
and vertical wall hangers
that are directly attached
to the backing material.
Poster frames include
hanging hardware in a
small bag (to be installed).
This includes a saw tooth
hanger
and small nails
to be used to secure
the hanger to the poster
frame.
