Low cost frames

beyond2k · 9th of July 2012 (Mon)

Hi, I've done a few Art shows now and usually just purchase some frames locally and frame a few photos but sell mostly matted photos in clear bags. I would like to start offering some framed prints but have not found any deals on frames. Is there a source that any of you are using? Thanks.

This might be kinda lame, but when I have a show coming up, I usually clip the Michael's coupon for 40% off or get one off their web site, go buy a frame, rinse and repeat.

For what it's worth, I've found bagged matted prints sell better than framed but YMMV.

There is also Documounts by Larson Juhl, they're a good company: http://www.documounts.com/categories...description/60

And if you want really cheap; Displays 2 Go has some picture frames: http://www.displays2go.com/Category.aspx?ID=23679

I have had decent results with Picture Frames http://www.pictureframes.com. Any local place could not touch their prices even with shipping cost included. They have a good online tool to see what frame and mat options for a pic you upload. I probably wouldn't use them for a high end client, but for personal work or show work, they are a good alternative.

I highly recommend http://wholesaleposterframes.com/. They specialize in custom poster frames but their frames work great for prints and are reasonably priced.
