There\u2019s rarely a day (okay, probably never) <\/em>that goes by that we don\u2019t log onto our computers, pick up our phone to text\/Instagram\/take a picture, or turn a dial to heat\/air condition our homes. We use technology in every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat to the way we work. Yet we don\u2019t give it much thought. Seriously, when you\u2019re popping your lunch into the microwave, do you ever think, \u201chmmm, how does that actually work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s not surprising that we don\u2019t give much thought to picture frames, their place in history, or the technology <\/strong>involved in their production. That\u2019s okay. We know you are more interested in getting your artwork framed and displayed than how it\u2019s actually made. But we thought a little understanding of the production side of our business might give you some appreciation for how technology can be a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Story <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"gold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the beginning of our company, started in 2004, Frame It Easy\u2019s philosophy has been to make ordering high-quality custom picture frames online fast, easy, and affordable. We believe framing memories, artwork and more shouldn\u2019t be time-consuming, complicated, or expensive. So with that in mind, we developed our easy-to-use custom frame designer<\/a> to take all the guesswork out of designing a frame tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dream team is composed of over 30 artisans tasked with caring for each step of crafting your frame. From professionally printing your photos to cutting, assembling, and shipping your order, we work to ensure that a beautiful, ready-to-hang frame arrives at your door quickly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Frame Materials <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here at Frame It Easy, we have 8 different frame styles<\/a> to choose from, over 75 matboard<\/a> colors, and tons of possibilities! When you order a custom frame<\/a> from us, you can expect a frame that was made just for you. We don\u2019t believe in pre-built frames; that defeats the purpose of designing a custom frame<\/a>! We let you create your custom frame<\/a> easily using our four-step Frame Design process where we\u2019ve done the hard parts for you (like figuring out the math) so you can focus on the creative aspects of the final look \u2014 and then we’ll craft it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer three wood-style frames, Dayton a natural wood<\/a> with a flat profile, Derby a North American hardwood, and Granby an ornate wood. We also offer five metal frames<\/a> Ashford, Bradford, Hanover, and Stafford in an array of colors all made from extruded aluminum.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our matboards are available in any size in a number of colors and options and serve two main purposes: to protect and decorate. Since condensation can build up between artwork and the cover, matboards provide a layer of protection against water damage. Matboards can also help draw the eye toward the framed piece. We use 4-ply boards made of fine-quality surface paper that is highly fade and bleed-resistant with a buffered acid-free surface, core, and backing paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if you choose to have us print your artwork, we offer two different types of paper, Art Paper, and Photo Paper<\/a>. Rest assured that no matter which paper you choose we will use archival-grade ink and acid-free paper and both will produce a great-looking print! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Equipment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Custom<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to quickly and efficiently deliver quality, American-made frames at an affordable price, and we are constantly optimizing and refining our manufacturing process to provide the highest level of service without inflating the cost to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, if you choose to have us print your artwork, we use top-of-the-line large formats and can print up to 1200×1200 DPI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, although we\u2019re talking about technology here, let\u2019s give a shout-out to all our team members who so expertly use all this technology. They pride themselves on using their skills each step of the way in crafting your frame. That\u2019s why we like to call them our \u201cdream team!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Delivery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"packaging\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All of our frames are shipped in a box as custom as your frame. We use corrugated cardboard packaging that is precisely cut to each and every order, meaning that you won\u2019t receive a huge box for one small 5\u201dx7\u201d frame. This reduces waste and means we don\u2019t have to ship using bubble wrap (or even paper wrapping) to keep your frames safe. Plus, everything is recyclable. Check out our post on our custom made packaging<\/a> to learn more about the full anatomy of our packaging! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your frame will also be shipped with all of the materials needed to hang your frame (except for the hammer!) so there are no extra accessories required. This includes an acid-free foam-core backing, clear or non-glare cover, backing springs for metal frames, hanging wire, and all the hanging hardware required to hang your frame on the wall<\/a> safely. However, if you need to order replacements or individual pieces, you can find those on our accessories page<\/a>. You can also find our acid-free framer\u2019s tape to secure your artwork<\/a> or our EaselMate to create a tabletop display<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Promise To You <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We want to continue to be at the forefront of using the ever-changing advancements in technology to provide our customers with a high-quality frame that will stand the test of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our approach to online custom framing<\/a> to provide our customers with high-quality frames that are simple to design and won\u2019t cost you a fortune may seem simple but be assured that we strive to save you more time (and money!) to experience frameable moments with your loved ones in every aspect of our company.
