What you should know about picture framing.

Acid Free Components:

We use only acid free mats. Acid free mats help prevent the transfer of the acids in the mat board to the picture. When non acid free mats are used, and the mats are removed from the picture you may see a yellow/brown cast where the mats were touching the picture. Using acid free mats helps reduce this affect. Acid free mats also have a white core, which does not yellow with time.

Double Matting

All of our pictures are double matted to match the team colors. The matting prevents the picture from coming in direct contact with the glass where moisture could be trapped, and thereby ruining the picture.

Hinging

All of our pictures are held in place with acid free tape. By "free floating" (hinging) the picture you can remove it at a later date should the need arise. By attaching the picture in this fashion you may notice some minute spaces between the picture and the frame. If you were to tape the picture all the way around, climatic changes could make the picture pucker. Hinging allows the picture to adjust to climatic changes without affecting the overall appearance of the picture.

Frame Style

We use a moderate frame profile designed to be cost effective. If you choose to order just the matted picture, you may then select another frame at your local frame shop.

V-Grooves

V-grooves are grooves in the top mat. A V-groove will show the core of the mat, therefore creating a white border, and the illusion of another mat. V-grooves are labor intensive, and therefore add cost to the picture, but the affect may be worth it. Some of our pictures have V-grooves already cut.

Shipping

There is no problem shipping stand alone pictures, or matted pictures via UPS or the mail system. We will ship our framed pictures packaged in styrofoam "peanuts" to help prevent againt glass breakage. Ultimately it is your responsibility to claim against the carrier in the event of damage. We will ship insured if you like.
