The framing process
How a consultation actually works.
01
Frame and Protect What Matters
Drop by the studio or call to schedule. We’ll measure, discuss the work, and talk about how you want to display and protect it.
02
Choose mat, moulding, glazing
We pull real samples from our library so you see materials against your piece — not on a screen.
03
Approve the quote
Itemized estimate before any work starts. No surprises on the final invoice.
04
5–10 days, then pickup
Standard turnaround. Rush for show deadlines. We’ll call when it’s ready.
Framing FAQ
Before you bring it in.
Can I order a frame without coming in?
For standard-size mats, yes — sold through the catalog. For anything custom (conservation framing, unusual sizes, shadow boxes, float mounting), we strongly recommend an in-store consultation with your piece.
What does “conservation framing” mean?
All materials touching the artwork are acid-free and chemically stable. UV-protective glazing blocks 99% of UV light. Archival hinges that don’t bleed. The framing protects the piece for decades, not damages it.
Can you frame work I didn’t print at Avant?
Absolutely. We frame anything — originals, photos from elsewhere, family heirlooms, certificates, jerseys, memorabilia. You don’t need to print with us to frame with us.
Do you ship framed work?
Yes — we crate framed pieces for safe shipping. Acrylic-glazed frames are especially ship-friendly. For show deliveries, we coordinate with your shipper or recommend a local fine-art handler.
