Custom Framing for Commercial & Trade
From a single prototype to 5,000 identical pieces — production-scale custom framing built for hotels, corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, and multi-location brands.
Hundreds of moulding profiles, six glazing options, specialty matting, and room-by-room labeling. All under one roof in Fullerton, CA.
How Commercial Framing Works
Whether you are specifying for a 300-room hotel or need 50 pieces for a new office, the process is the same — designed for consistency, efficiency, and zero surprises at installation.
Consult & Specify
Share your artwork, environment, and budget. We recommend moulding, glazing, and matting options tailored to your project.
Sample & Approve
We build a physical prototype with your chosen materials. Nothing goes to production until you sign off on the finished sample.
Production Run
Frames are batch-cut from the same lot, assembled on jigs for precision, and QC-checked against the approved sample.
Label & Pack
Every piece is labeled by room or location and packed in installer-ready packaging — no guesswork on site.
Ship or Install
Nationwide freight delivery, or our crew handles white-glove installation for Southern California projects.

Frame Materials
The Moulding Library
Hundreds of profiles in stock. Wood for warmth, metal for precision, composite for durability. The right frame starts with the right material for the environment.
Wood Moulding
Natural grain, warmth, and character. Available in raw, stained, painted, gilded, and lacquered finishes. Wood moulding brings a classic, handcrafted presence that suits hospitality lobbies, executive offices, and traditional interiors.
Metal & Aluminum
Clean lines, minimal weight, maximum durability. Extruded aluminum frames are the workhorse of corporate, healthcare, and high-traffic installations — consistent across thousands of pieces with no warping, cracking, or finish degradation over time.
Composite & Poly
Engineered for consistency and value. Composite moulding delivers the look of wood at a lower cost per piece, with superior impact resistance and zero susceptibility to humidity or temperature shifts. The smart choice for large multi-property rollouts.

Not Sure Which Frame Is Right?
Every environment is different — what works in a boutique hotel lobby is wrong for a hospital corridor. We'll walk you through the options, build a physical sample, and make sure the look, durability, and price are exactly right before a single piece goes to production.
Glazing & Protection
Glass & Acrylic Options
The glazing you choose protects the artwork and controls how it looks on the wall. We carry six options — from standard clear glass to museum-grade anti-reflective — so you can match protection, clarity, and budget to each environment.
Glass
Traditional glazing for standard environments. Glass offers superior optical clarity and scratch resistance at a lower cost than acrylic — but it is heavier and breaks on impact.
Clear Glass
Standard picture framing glass. Bright, sharp clarity with natural reflections. The most affordable glazing option.
UV-Resistant Glass
Same clarity as standard glass with a specialized coating that blocks 99% of UV light — critical for preserving color in naturally lit spaces.
Claryl Museum Glass
The premium option. Anti-reflective coating virtually eliminates glare while maintaining 99% UV protection. The artwork appears to float without glass in front of it.
Acrylic (Plexiglas)
Shatter-resistant and lightweight. Acrylic is required in healthcare, cruise ships, and any environment where broken glass is a safety risk. It weighs roughly half as much as glass at the same size.
Clear Acrylic
Standard shatter-resistant glazing. Same clarity as glass with significantly less weight and no breakage risk. The default for safety-sensitive environments.
Non-Glare Acrylic (OP3)
A lightly textured surface that diffuses overhead glare while providing 99% UV protection. The go-to for hospitals, medical offices, and commercial corridors with harsh fluorescent or LED lighting.
UV Acrylic (OP3 Clear)
Crystal-clear acrylic with 99% UV protection and no surface texture. Combines the optical clarity of glass with the safety of acrylic — ideal when both protection and brilliance matter.
Find Your Glazing
Select what matters for your project. We will show you which glazing fits best.
Standard picture framing glass — bright, sharp clarity at the lowest price point.
Blocks 99% of UV light to protect colors in sunlit spaces, with the same clarity as standard glass.
Premium anti-reflective coating eliminates glare so artwork appears to float. 99% UV protection.
Shatter-resistant and half the weight of glass — the default for safety-sensitive environments.
Diffuses overhead glare with 99% UV protection. The go-to for hospitals, corridors, and cruise ships.
Crystal-clear acrylic with 99% UV protection — combines optical brilliance with shatter safety.

Matting & Finishing
The Details That Elevate
Matting is not just a border — it controls how the eye enters the artwork, protects the print from touching the glazing, and adds a layer of sophistication that separates commercial-grade framing from commodity work.
Conservation Mat Board
Acid-free, lignin-free mat board in hundreds of colors. The standard for commercial framing — protects artwork from acid migration and adds a clean, professional border.
Linen & Fabric Mats
Textured linen, silk, and suede-wrapped mats that add tactile richness. Preferred for hospitality and executive environments where the frame package needs to feel as premium as it looks.
Foil Stamping & Custom Cuts
Hot foil stamping for hotel logos, artist names, or room numbers directly on the mat. Custom-shape mat cutouts for unusual artwork dimensions or multi-opening configurations.
Float Mounting
Artwork mounted with visible edges for a modern, gallery-style presentation. The piece appears to hover inside the frame.
Fillets & Liners
Thin accent strips between mat layers or between the artwork and frame — adding depth, contrast, and a refined layered look.
Color Matching
Consistent mat color across thousands of pieces. We batch from the same dye lot and QC every board against the approved sample.
Why Picture This
Built for Volume. Built for Consistency.
We are not a retail frame shop that occasionally takes large orders. Our 7,000+ square foot Fullerton facility is purpose-built for commercial production — deep moulding inventory, precision assembly stations, and a workflow designed to deliver thousands of identical frames on schedule.
Everything In-House
Cutting, joining, matting, glazing, fitting, labeling, and packing — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no quality gaps.
Deep Inventory
We stock moulding in depth. When your project is approved, we do not wait on backorders — production starts immediately.
QC at Every Stage
Every frame is checked against the approved sample. Corner joints, mat alignment, glazing cleanliness, backing — nothing ships without inspection.
Installer-Ready
Room-by-room labels, floor plans, protective packaging. Your installation crew opens a box and knows exactly where every piece goes.
