Large Frames 20x30, 30x40??
Jim Pierce, Photographer
Waltham | MA | USA | Posted: 4:43 PM on 06.06.10
->> I have a couple new clients that want prints available framed, very large prints and frames, 20x30 and 30x40. I have no problem with up to 16x20 frames with an 11x14 print and this is part of my workflow already and have been used at events.

These sizes are not my typical offering and are not event type customers so these will not be done onsite like the smaller ones I do.

Does anyone supply these on a regular basis and if so where do you get the frames, mates, glass/plexi etc? Is there a one stop shop for this?

Any help is appreciated!

->> I actually have went to a local store that sells prints cheap and purchased a framed photo from them and then went home and opened the picture and discarded the photo and placed my photo inside. Saved me about $75.00 going this route. Just takes a little time finding a decent picture / frame at Walmart - Kmart, Costco or Fred Meyers.

->> I recommend http://adoramapix.com

I've had many poster sized prints made and have been very happy with the quality.

You can even see a video of how the large prints are made compliments of Grover at PhotoShelter:

I have never had a problem, the price, quality of materials, and price, is excellent for frames/mat/plexiglass.

When I worked at a photo collection, this is who we used. I've probably purchased 300 frames from them.

->> Thanks everyone for the info there sure are some good sites that I never found.

I needed two next week and went the Neilsen Bandbridge frame kit route and bought the glass and foam board at a local shop. This should work for now but the next 20 I want to be more turnkey and one stop shopping.

Looks like a couple sites can easily do this.

Thanks again!

Jim
