Box Frame
Boxed framing, also referred to as box frame or shadow box framing, is a popular style for displaying artwork, photographs, and decorative items. The distinctive gap between the artwork and the glazing creates a sense of depth, adding visual interest and enhancing the presentation. This style offers creative flexibility, allowing you to choose from various mat colors, frame styles, and textures to perfectly complement your artwork. Whether for personal expression or a specific aesthetic, boxed framing offers endless customization possibilities.
Boxed framing adds depth and dimension by enclosing the artwork in a box-like structure. The artwork is mounted on a backing board, with a spacer or mat often creating a visible gap between the piece and the glazing (acrylic). This enclosed space not only enhances the visual appeal but also protects the artwork by keeping it away from direct contact with the glazing, reducing the risk of damage from moisture, dust, or physical contact.
Boxed framing enhances the visual impact of your artwork by creating a striking three-dimensional effect. The added depth makes the piece feel more prominent and captivating, drawing attention to its presence.
This versatile framing style can be customized to fit artwork of various sizes and shapes, and it can accommodate items with different thicknesses, such as canvas paintings, three-dimensional art, or even memorabilia.
Sit-In Box Frame Features
The Sit-In Box Frame, similar to the Passe-partout framing style, is another popular choice among artists and photographers for displaying their works. This style features a thicker frame that creates a casting shadow on the print, giving it a contemporary gallery-style appearance. Metal and wood are commonly used materials for the frame, offering a sleek and durable finish.
The frame may include a protective pane of picture framing glass or an acrylic sheet (such as Acrylite or Plexiglass) to safeguard the artwork.
We also offer anti-reflective coated glass, which minimizes glare, making the glass virtually invisible under various lighting conditions for an enhanced viewing experience.

If your picture frame will be exposed to direct sunlight or harsh lighting conditions, such as fluorescent lights, we offer Museum Acrylic as an optional upgrade. This specialized material helps slow down the photocatalytic degradation of your picture or fine art print, ensuring its longevity and preserving the vibrancy of the artwork for years to come.
