The long and short of it is that the more frames you need, the more money you have to spend, so it\u2019s important to reduce the chance of error and keep the cost to as low as possible. <\/strong> This seems obvious, but with small orders, a mismeasured piece of art is a minor inconvenience that could be rectified easily. With larger orders, it could turn into a missed deadline, a large amount of wasted money, and other such things we\u2019d all rather avoid. This could be magnified if the nature of your bulk order was 50 of the same frame. So, it would be beneficial to measure your artwork<\/a> a few times just to make sure your numbers are accurate. It would beat the alternative of missing a deadline and\/or having to place a replacement order. As stated previously, more frames mean more money. It doesn\u2019t have to be the maximum amount of money possible, though. Most online custom framers<\/a> offer discounts of varying percentages. If you don\u2019t already have a valid coupon for the site from which you intend to order, it might be worth your while to reach out to the company and see if you could have one. Even if the discount is small, it\u2019s still money saved! Psst…check out the bottom of this post to save 10% on an order from Frame It Easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Custom framers have made their niche in making frames for even the weirdest-sized piece of art. But this wasn\u2019t always the case. Store-bought frames <\/a>in particular are typically standard-sized, meaning they\u2019re cut to frame conventionally measured photographs and pieces of paper. If you have a bunch of posters that you intend on framing for a corporate event and aesthetic isn\u2019t necessarily of the most pressing importance, simply buying store-bought frames could be your best bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, if you’re looking to get a little more out of your standard-sized prints and want to order some high-quality custom frames<\/a>, remember to double-check your measurements before placing your order. (See Tip #1.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ordering picture frames in bulk could mean a few things. You could be ordering 50 of one frame or 50 different frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either way, this is an important distinction as it would have implications on the scale of your measuring job and how you plan to order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can consider fragmenting your order into multiple ones if it might make the measuring itself easier and the cost more manageable, but more often than not bundling frames together can overall be more efficient. Here at Frame It Easy, it doesn’t much matter if you order the same size frames or different sized ones \u2014 since our boxes are also custom to each order, you can rest assured you’re getting the most efficient price, shipping, and packaging whether you order 1 frame or 100 frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A big order is also a big financial commitment. As such, it\u2019s important to make sure the framer you\u2019re buying from is reputable and if they\u2019ll make right any damaged material you receive should there be an unforeseeable mishap. Still, making a large payment to a company you know a thing or two about is better than going in blind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A great way to check for this is to see if a company has any customer reviews publicly available. These can typically be found either on the company website directly, through an on-site review badge, or by searching through a third-party review website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have time, we\u2019d also suggest ordering a single sample frame first, just so you can get a feel for the product and process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a good way to see exactly what the product is like before making a larger financial commitment. Here at Frame It Easy, you can order a single frame to get a sense of the overall package, or we sell individual components of frames<\/a> that you can order as samples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some companies may have a longer production time for bigger orders. You might want to make sure you order well before the date of your presentation, gallery opening, or event. In addition, it might be beneficial to see how close the company from which you\u2019re ordering is to Here at Frame It Easy, we take 3-5 business days to produce most orders\u2014 regardless of their size. Then shipping can be anywhere from 1-5 days, depending on your US location. (We ship from CT.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might know the material that you\u2019re planning on getting for your frames. Most companies offer only two \u2014 wood or metal frames<\/a>. For each material, there may be a large selection of colors and textures for that particular option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, if a company offers different styles of the same material, it could mean a different cut or molding. While this is mainly an aesthetic thing, it could also affect cost so it\u2019s important to make sure you know exactly what picture frame features you\u2019re getting so the display is perfect for your needs. Imagine getting all your frames, you insert your posters or art, and you\u2019re ready to display them. But once you do, it\u2019s right across the way from a window opening, and the sun reflects off your frames \u2014 making it impossible for people passing by to see what you\u2019re showing. To prevent such a thing, it would be beneficial to see where your frames will be placed, as well as explore all cover options<\/a> you have with the framer from which you\u2019re purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you plan on hanging your frames where they could be hit with glare, then you might opt for non-glare covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orientation is something easy to overlook but could be an inconvenient issue. If your posters are portrait orientation, but you order the frames as landscape, your display will look\u2026 sideways. So, it\u2019s important to just take a few extra seconds and make sure the orientation (as well as the measurements as noted in Tip #1) are correct.
