Manufacturing Made to Measure Picture Frames

Picture frames are a wonderful way to not only display your beautiful photographs, but also to preserve them. Frames are used to hold the pictures that you take in a flat position, thus ensuring that they do not fold or experience the wear and tear that comes from frequent direct handling. You can display your photographs, paintings, posters and other picture forms on standard frames if they have standard measurements. Alternatively, you will have to get a manufacturer who will produce made to measure frames for you, if your pictures are not of a standard size.

One of the first things you need to do to get the customized picture frames is to select the photographs, which you want to display. These photographs may be larger or smaller than the standard frames available in different shops.

You will then select the manufacturer that you want to customize your frame for you. It may be a local manufacture or one who lives elsewhere. You can make different trips to see the kind of work they do so that you do not end up disappointed. Alternatively, you can select one from the many picture frame designers via their online websites.

Depending on whether or not you can physically access these designers, you will then measure the full width and length of your photograph or other picture forms yourself, or let them do it for you. These measurements will be used to determine the corresponding length and width of the picture frames. Alternatively, should you want a multi frame that will accommodate many pictures, then you need to give the width and length of each photograph as well as the instructions of the positioning of each.

Another requirement is to measure the space to be occupied by the photo mount should you want one. These mounts will eat into some aspects of your photograph so it is important to be careful when measuring. Accuracy is key in this case.

All the measurements taken will then be recorded for future use. Your frame manufacturer will then give you a list of options as far as framing materials are concerned. These include wood, bamboo, aluminium, and many more media. You can select any of the options available based on what you feel is right or you can ask for help from the frame designers. They probably have more experiences with what looks good for each picture. You can opt for whatever colours and textures that best suit your pictures.

Payment is given based on a predetermined formula. Some companies may ask for full payment while other manufacturers may ask for partial payment with the rest payable after delivery. Some of the ways through which the business can be transacted is via credit and debit cards, money transfer, checks and so on. The made to measure frames are usually then manufactured with the aid of advanced measuring and cutting machines, which will ensure that accuracy, is observed and leaves no chance for errors.

If you do not want to do the framing yourself then ensure that you opt for a company that will do it for you. Alternatively, you may opt to do it yourself. Many framing manufacturers will have delivery mechanisms to help deliver your customized picture frame in mint condition. Take advantage of these services.
