Photo Custom Framing

SWAU custom frames allow you to safely elevate the display value of your collectibles at a fraction of the cost of typical framing. We have a variety of frame, matting, and cover styles to choose from for a look that's truly your own. All of our frames are the highest archival quality to protect your collectibles and every frame ships with the necessary hanging hardware so your treasured item will arrive ready to hang!

Frames and Matting

We have two main frame styles, wood and metal. Both styles are sustainably sourced, high-quality, and made in the USA. We also offer a variety of matting colors to compliment any frame. Each mat is alkaline-buffered to be acid-neutral, which offers the greatest protection for your collectibles. All our frames come with premium acid-free foamcore backing, which is highly recommended for all valuable collectible framing and will protect your investment for many decades to come.

Cover Options

We offer two types of acrylic covers, clear and non-glare. Clear Acrylic offers the beautiful clarity of the finest picture frame glazing at half the weight of glass and many times the impact resistance. Additionally, it blocks UV light and provides the safety warranted in high traffic areas. Acrylic covers are the preferred framing material for museums and galleries around the world. 

Our Non-Glare Acrylic has all of the clarity, impact resistance and UV protection of our Clear Acrylic, but with a very fine matted coating which elegantly diffuses light and reduces reflections. This option is not recommended for frames with matting as it will cause a less crisp display. You can see a side-by-side comparison of the two options in this video.

 

Please allow 4-6 weeks in addition to our typical lead time for all custom framing orders. If you have any questions about custom framing, don't hesitate to contact us!
