<\/figure>Liz Lidgett Gallery<\/a> and Design is a Des Moines-based gallery and design firm known for connecting people with original art. Their clients range from private homeowners building personal collections to corporations bringing art into their workplaces and gifting programs. Small business owner Tina Ehrlich leads the operations side of a lot of these projects, including the one we partnered on: a corporate art gifting initiative that put an original, framed piece of art into the hands of thousands of employees.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Large-volume framing<\/a> is a different animal from everyday custom framing. When the gallery’s Director of Operations, Tina Ehrlich, walked us through the project, her challenge came down to one word: scale.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked what framing challenges her team faced before working with us, her answer was direct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Framing at high quantities, once we get into the thousands.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The team had previously worked with local framers and other online framers, but neither model held up at this order size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Tina’s own words: “Before Frame It Easy, we had a hard time framing works at such a high quantity, within a reasonable timeline and budget.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The initial quote request came in on November 11, 2025.<\/strong> Price was the biggest hurdle. Instead of coming back with a standard bid, our team asked a question that unlocked the whole project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Could the frames be produced in various mouldings?”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The answer was yes. That flexibility let us bring in overstock material across multiple frame moulding options, dropping the per-frame cost without giving up quality. Liz Lidgett’s team loved the approach, and it became the final solution the project was built around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting to “best value” on a project this size wasn’t solely about a discount. It was about problem-solving. When a gallery brings us a fixed budget target, our job is not to hand back a quote and hope. It is to find the pricing and product mix that makes the project possible. Flexible frame style offerings<\/a> unlocked overstock material. Overstock material dropped per-frame cost. Nothing was compromised on the finished pieces. That is the kind of collaboration a bulk order deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “They were the best value, on-time and great communicators.”<\/em> From there, execution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The frames went on to be paired with original artwork by the Liz Lidgett team and delivered as gifts to the corporate client’s employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Liz Lidgett Gallery, the outcome was clear: a project that other framers could not take on, delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. From Tina’s responses, the impact showed up in two clear ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask Tina what stood out most, and she does not lead with the frames. She leads with the people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Quick replies, fast answers, price adjustments based on our specific needs.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That is the difference between a framing vendor and a framing partner<\/a>. On a 3,600-frame order, “quick replies” is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between an on-time delivery and a project that spirals. After the last box shipped, Tina sent our team a personal note that captured exactly what the partnership felt like from her side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Liz Lidgett story is one example of what is possible when custom framing becomes part of your<\/em> business’s execution instead of a limit on what you can take on. If you are a gallery, design firm, agency, or brand pitching bulk framing work<\/a> (corporate gifting programs, office installations, event keepsakes, or large-scale exhibition builds), you probably know the ceiling other framers hit. There is a way to go past that ceiling without giving up quality or margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Businesses with that shape all run into the same wall Liz Lidgett did: real projects with real deadlines, at volumes local shops cannot service and prices online marketplaces cannot beat. We solve it the same way. Not with a template quote, but with a real conversation about options, mat options, timeline, packaging, and price, until the project pencils out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Full-Service Framing and Fulfillment: <\/strong>We now offer value-added services such as bulk image uploading, branded inserts, custom box labeling, art installation, mat attachment, and specialized hanging hardware for our business account holders. These options are available by request and reviewed on an individual basis. Reach out to our Business Framing Team<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And a bulk gifting project is only one of the shapes our business partnerships take. Frame It Easy also offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Liz Lidgett project used one of these offers. Yours might use a different one, or a combination. For projects at scale, we work alongside our partners to find the pricing and product mix that fits, not just a quote, but a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a broader look at planning a bulk order, our bulk frame order planning guide<\/a> walks through it in nine steps. And if you are weighing whether Frame It Easy is the right fit for your project, our is Frame It Easy right for my custom framing project<\/a> guide is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Popular amongst our wholesale purchasers, the Wilton is our best-value wood frame style. It has a flat profile face that is 1 \u00bc\u201d wide. It’s a quality composite wood picture frame<\/a>, or MDF material, that’s finished with a decorative wood pattern wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. The Liz Lidgett project is one example: 3,600 custom frames, delivered in full on one shipment. Very large orders start with a conversation so we can plan the frame style, timeline, and logistics together. Request a custom quote<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Every bulk quote is built around the specifics of your project: quantity, size mix, frame style preferences, mat and cover options, and timeline. For projects where price is the primary constraint, we can often find creative solutions (budget mouldings, overstock material, product mix adjustments) that meaningfully reduce per-frame cost without compromising quality.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As early as possible. The Liz Lidgett quote request came in about six months before the delivery deadline, which gave both teams room to shape the solution properly. Longer lead times unlock more options.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Galleries, interior designers, corporate art programs, event planners, agencies, retailers, and any business handling installations or gifting projects at scale. See our wholesale and bulk picture frames<\/a> page for more.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Hey, it happens. When Liz Lidgett’s timeline moved during the course of the work, we absorbed the shift without disrupting the delivery plan. Communication and flexibility are part of what a framing partner should bring to the table, but communication is key!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Whether you are pitching a corporate gifting program, planning a gallery show, executing an office installation, or building framing into your art business, we would love to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best place to start is by creating a business account. Once you connect with us, we can help you find all the right custom matting and framing solutions for your business.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Challenge: Framing At Scale, Without Breaking the Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
