Say goodbye to the high cost and waiting time of traditional framing and enhance the collection value of your works
Do you have a painting, poster or photograph in your drawer that is of great significance but has yet to be hung on the wall?
We completely understand. Traditional framing can be a daunting experience, with long wait times, opaque costs, and even the worry of damaging your precious work during shipping.
Now you have a more secure and fulfilling option. Weisi Imaging's DIY framing solution not only provides you with high-quality modern aluminum frames, but also invites you to personally complete the final step of protecting and enhancing your work.
This article will guide you through detailed graphic steps to easily complete professional-level framing, allowing you to experience the joy of personally improving the quality of your work from scratch.
Before we dress your work in new clothes, we would like to invite you to appreciate this exquisite work from Weisi Image.
All frame strips are crafted from high-quality aluminum, a material we trust for its structural toughness and stability. Cutting at a 45-degree angle ensures a seamless visual connection between the frames, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Inside the frame, you can choose from high-transmittance, European-imported PET transparent acrylic panels. Alternatively, you can purchase a neutral cardboard backing to minimize environmental impact. This is not only about aesthetics, but also our commitment to the long-term protection of your precious artwork.
From the source of materials to the details of the finished product, this is the standard that Weisi Imaging adheres to.
