09 Feb Custom Framing vs. Big-Box Framing: What’s the Difference?
Have you ever walked into a big box store or department store in search of the perfect frame, but just could not find that piece that stands out and catches your eye?
The selection and styles you have to choose from are very limited and you most likely have seen these generic frames in use before. Have you considered the alternative instead, custom picture framing?
With custom framing options, you will notice a big difference in the quality, frame and mat, and style selections to make your artwork, or picture, stand out and catch everyone’s attention.
Here are some great differences and benefits on why to consider custom framing over store-bought framing:
An Elegant Look
A custom frame will provide your artwork or family pictures with an extra look of elegance compared to the standard store-bought frame. Though department stores offer some popular styles, they do not have as much variety, uniqueness, or elegance in their options. By having a custom frame designed and created by Medart, we can ensure you get the particular look from your frame that you want, as an elegant complement to your photo, artwork, degree or family heirloom.
Attention to Detail
Attention to detail is another big difference between custom framing and store-bought framing. At Medart, one of the areas our experienced master framers specialize in is creating the perfect custom picture frame to display your artwork or picture with pride. We pay extra special attention to detail to ensure your custom frame is exactly what you are looking for from fine art to family heirlooms, awards, jerseys, flags, mirrors or anything else you want displayed. Our master framers believe that framing is an art form, and we work hard to make sure your artwork is framed flawlessly.
Showcase Your Personality
Custom framing is a way for you to showcase your personality through the artwork and pictures you display. Adding this personal touch can complement the décor you have throughout your house, office, or business. At Medart, our experienced framing designers will consult with you to create the perfect framing package for your artwork or family heirlooms. Our framers pay special attention to detail to ensure that your final framing product stands out and compliments the décor that you have in your home, office, or place of business.
More Framing Options
In contrast to store-bought frames, custom framework adds beauty and elegance to your home. With this rising trend, people are exploring unique framework sizes and dimensions compared to the traditional store-bought 4×6 or 8×10 frames. With department stores only offering these traditional models, custom framing provides you an opportunity to explore more creative framing options. Our master framers at Medart will customize your frame to your desired size and measurements. Every framing order we process is re-measured again before we order materials to ensure your unique size and specifications are correct.
Added Protection
Did you know that over time artwork can fade, turn yellow, or even become damaged from light? If you are framing a family heirloom, piece of artwork, or something that is precious to you, you want those memories to last a lifetime. When you purchase store-bought frames, the materials that are used are generic and can cause your artwork or pictures to eventually fade. At Medart, when we receive materials for your custom frame, we complete a full material inspection to ensure that everything is of the highest quality. We also store all materials safely until your framing order is ready for assembly. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the highest quality final product, so if materials do not meet Medart’s standards, we will immediately order replacements, because your frame is important to us.
