About this mockup

Frames are stock blanks (wood, aluminium, plastic) — the print sits behind glass, inside the moulding and the mat. Add 3 mm bleed on every side to hide under the lip; the mockup leans the frame on a table as in a real photo.

Trade tips

  • Large-format photos need at least 150 ppi at final size.
  • Give the main message plenty of space instead of crowding it.
  • Coated (couche) paper prints photos sharply; laminate it so the folds do not crack.
  • Matte lamination feels premium and softens colours by about a shade: add contrast in the design.

What is the wall frame with mat sample printed on?

The sample is coated (C2S) 200 gsm with matte lamination.

Construction

A frame is a moulding (wood, plastic or aluminium) mitred at 45° at four corners, a sheet of glass or clear acrylic, an optional mat (passe-partout), the print, an MDF backing board, and an easel stand or hanger. The print is held between glazing and backing, and about 5 mm of its edge hides under the moulding's rebate on each side.

Choosing board and material

The print can be on 200 gsm C2S with matt lamination like the sample, or on photo paper or 250–310 gsm cotton fine-art paper for premium work. Glazing is 2 mm clear or anti-glare glass; 2–3 mm acrylic is lighter, shatterproof and better for shipping. In humid rooms use acid-free paper and mat board so nothing yellows.

Finishing

Matt lamination cuts glare and protects a print hung without glass; under glass it can stay uncoated. Wood mouldings are oiled or PU lacquered, aluminium is anodised; a shop logo can be engraved or printed small on the backing or the easel.

Preparing the print file

Design to the print size, not the outer frame size; allow 3–5 mm per side under the rebate and keep text and signatures off the edges. With a mat, the mat opening is 3–5 mm smaller than the print on each side to hold it. Print at 300 dpi at actual size.

Common mistakes

  • A signature or date right at the print edge: the rebate or mat covers it.
  • Using the outer frame size as the print size: the print is bigger than the opening and has to be trimmed.
  • A 72 dpi web image for an A4 frame: it prints grainy, especially under glass seen up close.
  • A gloss-laminated print put under glass: two glossy layers cause wave patterns and glare.

Questions and answers

What outer size does a 40 mm mat round an A4 print give?

Outer size = print − mat overlap + 2 × mat width + 2 × moulding width. An A4 print (210 × 297 mm) with a 40 mm mat and 20 mm moulding comes to about 330 × 417 mm, a few mm less for the overlap; the 357 × 480 mm sample is larger because its actual mat is wider than 40 mm, so always confirm the frame's inside size with the framer before printing.

Can certificates be framed with a mat?

Yes, and it suits them well; a 40 mm white mat makes a certificate look more formal, but check the signature and stamp are at least 10 mm from the paper edge so the mat doesn't hide them.

Glass or acrylic for a frame?

Glass is clear, flat and scratch-resistant, best for desk and indoor wall frames; acrylic is light and shatterproof, better for big frames, shipped frames or children's rooms.

What does a mat do?

It gives breathing space round the image so it looks finer, keeps the print off the glass, and lets a small print sit in a larger frame.

Where does a shop logo go on a photo frame?

Usually engraved or printed small on the easel, the backing board or a lower corner of the mat; not on the front moulding, which distracts from the picture.
