But are you under the impression that all custom picture frames are astronomically expensive not to mention time-consuming to have made? And guess what? Custom picture frames purchased online are often more affordable than in-person frame shops. Without the overhead of a physical storefront, there can be a lot of time and money-saving efficiencies when it comes to choosing the right picture frame from the comfort of your home.
That being said, there are definitely still costs associated with online custom picture frames, meaning the price will vary from site to site. While there is no hard and fast standard of how much a custom frame will cost, there are many considerations that will influence it. Here we will discuss some general information about pricing for custom frames online, based off an aggregate of options and pricing from five different online frame shops our own included.
As a general rule, something like solid wood is typically more expensive than engineered wood finger-jointed poplar, MDF and aluminum , but of course there can be exceptions. For the cover of your frame — the glazing material or what you view your art through — various styles can alter the price point of your frame. Overall, glass tends to be a less expensive option that is typically not even offered through online framers vs. The backing material of your frame is usually least likely to have a variety of options, but most professional framers know to only use an acid-free material.
Adding any type of matting to a frame increases the materials needed, thus you can expect to pay a little extra. One of the biggest factors in the overall cost of your custom picture frame will be its size — the bigger the frame, the more of each type of material it needs, thus the higher the cost. Oversize restrictions mainly come down to increased shipping carrier fees. Workers should be paid a fair wage, and the more time consuming a piece is to handle or make, the more it costs.
This is where utilizing production efficiencies and automation offers a huge benefit to the framing industry — the more automated and streamlined a production process is, the more efficient the cost is. Here at Frame It Easy, our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to quickly and efficiently deliver custom picture frames at an extremely affordable price without sacrificing quality. This equipment lets us produce custom cuts that fit custom sized orders.
Our machinery also allows for Same Day Framing where we can turn around projects in a short amount of time, comparable to other framers typical weeks.
