Whether it is a digital print or a photo output, every work hung on the exhibition wall requires a suitable frame. We specially select high-quality, moisture-proof and durable metal aluminum frames to frame your printed metal photos. We would like to make a special note of this here.

Five types of framing

We currently offer the following framing options:

1. Metal frameless painting (framing method: frameless painting with back hanging frame)
2. Simple frame (framing method: simple metal frame)
3. Collection frame (framing method: collection metal frame)
4. Oil painting frame (framing method: double-layer three-dimensional aluminum frame)
5. Three-dimensional mounting (framing method: three-dimensional mounting + collection metal frame)

Below we have collected partial front views of metal frameless paintings, simple metal photo frames, and classic metal photo frames, so that you can better understand the different visual effects brought by different frames:

1. Metal frameless painting "frameless painting back hanging frame" mounting

The back and sides of metal frameless paintings are delicately crafted, so here we share our framing process so you can see it all!

The following is the actual back of a 24x16 inch "metal frameless painting" vertical work. The size of the frameless painting back hanging frame is based on the size of the work, and each side is indented 2 inches inward, so:

• 24x16 inch "metal frameless painting" back hanging frame size is 20x12 inches
• 12x18 inch "metal frameless painting" back hanging frame size is 8x14 inches
• 20x30 inch "metal frameless painting" back hanging frame size is 16x26 inches

... and so on

All the hanging ropes on the back are made of stainless steel ropes. In addition to being strong and durable, they also make your work look beautiful when viewed from the front and more textured when viewed from the back.

Why the 2-inch indent? If the only requirement is a hanging function, can the size of the frame on the back of a frameless painting be reduced to save on framing costs?

The aluminum plate material is ductile. In addition to the mounting function, the back hanging frame also has the function of strengthening the aluminum plate structure!

Therefore, we insist on only retracting 2 inches, which not only looks beautiful but also achieves stable functionality. Therefore, every "metal frameless painting" can be displayed for a long time without any concerns about slight bending!

If the long side of your work exceeds 100cm, we will add an extra aluminum bar in the middle to enhance the stability of the work. The following is a picture of the back of a work that is over 100cm:

2. "Simple metal frame" mounting

The simple and neat design of this metal aluminum frame is a classic for displaying photographic works. Regardless of the color of the metal frame, their hardware is always silver.

For the back panel, we use 5mm PP corrugated board, which we think is flat, beautiful, lightweight, durable, recyclable and relatively environmentally friendly.

In order to achieve aesthetics, we will use corrugated boards of suitable colors when framing to achieve a better overall effect:

• For works with a short side less than 39 inches, silver, white, antique silver, and gold aluminum frames, we use "classic white" PP plastic corrugated board as the back panel
• For works with a short side less than 39 inches, we use "classic black" PP plastic corrugated board as the back panel for aluminum frames of other colors.
• For works with a short side larger than 39 inches, regardless of the color of the frame, we will use "classic white" PP plastic corrugated board as the backboard

Finally (if necessary), add a spring bow in the gap between the corrugated board and the metal frame, and stick transparent non-slip pads on the four corners to prevent the work from damaging the display wall. The framing work with both texture and beauty is completed!

3. "Collection Metal Frame" Mounting

The elegant and sleek design of this aluminum frame is a classic for displaying photographs, sketches, watercolors, prints, and reproductions of famous paintings.

Below are the actual backs of the 18x12 inch banner - brown classic metal frame, the 24x16 inch vertical - gold classic metal frame, and the 10x60 inch banner - black classic metal frame. Regardless of the color of the metal frame, their hardware accessories are silver.

For the back panel, we use 5mm PP corrugated board, which we think is flat, beautiful, lightweight, durable, recyclable and relatively environmentally friendly.

In order to achieve aesthetics, we will use corrugated boards of suitable colors when framing to achieve a better overall effect:

• For works with a short side less than 39 inches, silver, white, antique silver, and gold aluminum frames, we use "classic white" PP plastic corrugated board as the back panel
• For works with a short side less than 39 inches, we use "classic black" PP plastic corrugated board as the back panel for aluminum frames of other colors.
• For works with a short side larger than 39 inches, regardless of the color of the frame, we will use "classic white" PP plastic corrugated board as the backboard

Finally (if necessary), add a spring bow in the gap between the corrugated board and the metal frame, and stick transparent anti-slip pads on the four corners to prevent the work from damaging the display wall. The framing work with both texture and beauty is completed!

4. Oil painting frame "double-layer three-dimensional aluminum frame"

Do you want to frame your finished metal photos like oil paintings? The "double-layer three-dimensional aluminum frame" has the following features and should be your best choice!

• I hope the work is suspended, with a slight distance from the frame.
• I like the simple and modern narrow frame (outer frame)
• I like the frame, but don't want the PP tile back panel
• When you turn to the back of the work, you can directly see the ChromaLuxe metal aluminum plate
• The artwork and the frame should be made of aluminum.

So, let's take a look at the actual status of the "double-layer three-dimensional aluminum frame":

Metal photos: The four corners of the work will have a 1/8" rounded corner (this certificate product photo is a special customized case, please be aware)
Metal frame: side height 4cm, front width 0.6cm
The artwork is suspended: about 0.5cm away from the frame, and the height of the suspension is about 0.4cm lower than the frame.
Back of the aluminum frame: You can see that there is a double-layer frame, the inner frame is silver, and the outer frame has a variety of colors to choose from

Size details:
Metal frame: 22 x 30.6cm (outer dimensions)
Certificate work: 19.8 x 28.4cm (center of painting)

5. "Three-dimensional mounting + classic metal frame" mounting

Do you want to leave some blank space in the finished metal photo so that the work can have some space to breathe and display?

The "3D mounting + classic metal frame" mounting method has the following features and should be your best choice!

• I like the simple and modern narrow frame (outer frame)
• I hope to add a white base between the artwork and the frame to make the artwork stand out more.
• I hope the work has the same material as the white base, but also has a slightly different texture.
• I hope there is a slight difference in height between the work and the baseboard to make the work stand out more.
• The artwork and the frame should be made of aluminum.

Now let's take a look at the actual works of "3D Mounting + Collection Metal Frame" in a video of less than two minutes, as well as a brief introduction...

Suitable for metal prints of various sizes

Three-dimensional mounting is suitable for metal prints of various sizes. The largest size we have mounted so far is 80cm x 150cm. The actual metal print size is 70cm x 140cm. Although we have specially strengthened the structure during mounting, if your work needs to be frequently moved or displayed in a different location, we still recommend that the overall picture be mounted with a three-dimensional backing, with the long side not exceeding 110cm , so that the structure will be more stable!

Three-dimensional metal print + classic metal frame, the overall visual effect

Base Plate

• We use 3mm thick white plastic aluminum plate. In addition to the long-term preservation of the material, the surface of the plastic aluminum plate has a slight gloss, which sets off the metal impression. We think the overall visual effect is very good.
• The overall size of the base is about 10cm (4") longer and 10cm (4") wider than the work, so the metal print will be about 5cm smaller on each side than the base.
• If you want other blank sizes, please contact us and we can customize them according to your needs.

Metal Print Works

• Like other metal prints, each side has rounded corners, and the size of the rounded corners is 1/8".
• The metal image will be raised with a PVC hard plate, the height of the raised plate is about 0.4cm (4mm)
• The PVC hard plate is 4" (10cm) smaller than the metal print in both length and width. Therefore, when viewing the work, the PVC hard plate cannot be seen from the front, creating the effect that the work is floating on the white base.

Classic metal frame

• Side height 4cm, front width 0.6cm, inside height 1cm
• The metal image on the white base, with the PVC hard plate, has an overall height of about 0.6cm
• When viewed from the side, the metal print is about 0.4cm lower than the inner height of the classic metal frame, which is a comfortable arrangement.
