Common, mass-produced frames come in a variety of standard sizes. Generally, such sizes below 11 x 14 inches are called photo frames. Above that size, we call them ready-made frames. These frames are created to allow the purchaser the ability to frame standard-sized art with relative ease. There are downsides to using a ready-made frame. First, artwork comes in a variety of non-standard sizes and will not always precisely fit into the frame. Second, ready-made frames make it difficult to customize a design for the artwork using mats and other embellishments. Also, many inexpensive ready-made frames are created using substandard moulding also known as “seconds”. At FastFrame of Santa Monica, since we manufacture your frame, we have the ability to customize it to suit your design needs and the size of the art.
