How Professional Picture Framing Can Elevate Your Large Format Print Offering
In the world of large format printing, delivering stunning visual impact is key. Here at Menor, we can help you with the finishing touch - the frame.
The frame transforms a print into a powerful expression of a brand’s identity. Professional picture framers offer expert solutions that elevate final printed products. Whether it's for commercial interiors, gallery exhibitions, retail displays, or corporate branding - bespoke, high-quality frames play a crucial role in enhancing the value and longevity of printed works.
The crucial role of picture framing in commercial print projects
Large format printers often work with clients who demand excellence at every stage of a project. Whilst the quality of the print itself is vital, the framing must mirror that standard. Picture framing is more than just an aesthetic choice; it's a strategic business decision that influences brand perception, durability, and display.
A high-quality frame adds structure, protection, and impact. It ensures that a print is ready for immediate installation, saving time for both the printer and the end client. With the right picture framer, printers can offer a complete, turnkey solution that covers printing, presentation and installation in one streamlined process.
Bespoke frames: designed to reflect your client’s identity
One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to brand representation. Each business has its own visual identity and essence - colour palettes, materials, finishes - that reflect its values, brand story and how they want their customers to feel. Bespoke frames allow for complete customisation, whether that means sleek aluminium for a modern tech brand, reclaimed wood for a sustainable enterprise or pantone-perfect sprayed frames to match any brand palette.
As professional picture framers, we work closely with printers and clients to design frames that align with brand aesthetics while complementing the content of the print. From the mount, to the backing, sealing, frame and glass – we’ve got the materials, equipment and expertise to deliver the highest quality bespoke frames available – and we’ll handle the process from start to finish – so you can rest assured that your project is in safe hands, and you can focus on the print!
Why printers should partner with professional framers
Partnering with picture framing experts brings competitive advantages to printers:
Consistency at scale: Framing large quantities of prints for commercial projects requires precision and efficiency. A professional framer ensures uniform quality across every piece.
Material expertise: From museum-grade glazing to archival materials, a specialist can advise on materials that enhance and preserve large-format prints.
Logistical support: Framers are equipped to handle high-volume orders, including packaging, delivery and installation support, which simplifies operations for print providers.
Speed and reliability: Deadlines matter. Framing partners understand commercial timelines and offer fast turnaround without compromising quality.
Collaborative innovation
At its best, the relationship between a large format printer and a picture framer is symbiotic. Here at Menor, we like to get involved early in the process to advise on sizing, materials, and installation requirements. This helps avoid adjustments later which can lead to delays and/or price fluctuations and ensures the final piece provides maximum visual impact and is delivered on time, to brief and to budget.
Takeaways
In a competitive print market, offering bespoke frames as part of your service can give you a game-changing point of difference. It adds value, improves client satisfaction, and reinforces the brand stories your clients want to tell. By building strong partnerships with expert, trusted picture framing providers, large format printers can differentiate themselves - and their clients - through top tier brand presentation.
