Keeping a lid on inflation

It's no joke, we are finding our supplier costs, including picture frames and the other components such as glass, backing, mat board (cardboard) surround and even the hardware to hang a frame are on the climb.

Lynne and I have been concerned at the ever increasing cost of custom picture framing, and we did some serious re-negotiations with some of our suppliers in an effort to quell the end prices to you the customer.

Custom Made from Inspired Design Work

Understandably there are significant costs involved in producing a CUSTOM MADE picture frame. Compared to a mass produced generic pre made frame that rolls off a production line at a fraction of the cost, a custom made frame starts with attentive aesthetic design from a selection of literally hundreds of frames and cardboard (mat board) boarders, coupled with knowledge of conservation methods and other factors including the type of glass and backing to best suit the item you bring in for a special frame. If it's a cheap production line frame you need, well ... we have those too.

But a specialised custom frame is something we have been offering since we started in the mid 1980s. We now have access to some of the most sophisticated equipment in Australia including the above gigantic mat board cutting machine (above) that takes mat board up to 264 x 152 cm and of any thickness and cuts it to perfection.

Organise your picture framing now and save heaps ... Up to 20% off.

Material prices have increased and we reluctantly have no choice but to increase our framing prices, however as mentioned above we have had some serious discussions with our framing suppliers and "made them an offer they could not refuse." Actually it was a two way negotiation, we managed to secure selected frames as part of our budget range and can offer you a 20% discount from these selected lines. We are also absorbing some of the price hikes so effectively you are saving around 30% and we can offer a 10% discount off our wider non-budget selection.

We have a firm policy: We won't compromise the quality of work to make your framing less expensive. For this reason we always check how precious your item to be framed is, and if it's a significant piece we will only have our specialist framer take on the work. For this type of work we can offer you a framing discount of 10%.

But what if you have a simple framing task and don't want to "over capitalise" on the project? Where's the 20% discount???
