Create a Custom Art Frame to Showcase Your Art

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Documounts specializes in creating custom art frames.  If you want to create an extra special display for your artwork or photography, then designing your own custom art frame is the ideal way to bring out the best in your artwork.  Documounts can create both wood custom art frames and metal custom art frames.  We offer frame mouldings in various styles, colors and depths, ensuring that you’ll find the right frame mouldings to create the perfect custom art frame for your artwork or photography.

When you frame your artwork in a custom art frame, you have much more control over the display of your artwork than you do if you frame inside a readymade frame.  For instance, if you want to create a deep shadow box, you can choose a custom art frame with a deep profile.  The metal moulding Profile 71 would be an excellent custom art frame for this.  If you prefer a wood custom art frame that is deep enough to create a shadow box, then we have a black wood and light wood frame moulding that can be used to create this type of custom art frame.

If you need to buy a lot of custom art frames, you’ll enjoy the volume discount you’ll receive at Documounts when you buy just 4 wood custom art frames.  You don’t even need to buy the same custom art frames to qualify – you can mix and match!  If you buy 12 or more of the same metal custom art frames, you’ll receive a percentage off.  These volume discounts are perfect for artists, photographers, and art galleries that need to frame a lot of art.

Documounts also sells all of the supplies that you’ll need to assemble your art inside the custom art frame.  We sell both readymade and custom cut mat boards and mount boards.  We also sell custom cut glazing, as well as adhesives, hanging wire, and various other matting and framing supplies.
