Product Information

What size are the prints?

We offer 3 sizes of print to fit standard frames:

A5 (148x210mm)
A4 (210x297mm)
A3 (297x420mm)


Where can I buy a frame?

Standard size frames are available widely on the high street in stores such as Dunelm, Home Bargains, B&M, The Range, Marks and Spencer and John Lewis amongst others or online at Amazon and Ebay.


How do I frame my print when I receive it?

Remove the back of the frame and unpeel any protective layers from the Perspex/glass. Pop the print in, followed by the back and reseal the lugs to form a tight fit.

If your frame has a mount then place a small amount of tape on the back of the print at the top and place the print on a table facing up with the sticky tape at the top. Place the mount loosely over the top and line it up before pressing down on the top to stick the print to the mount. You shouldn't need to use any further tape to hold it in the frame as this will allow for any movement without wrinkling the print. Pop the mount back in the frame and reseal the lugs.


Will you frame the print for me?

We do not offer a framing service.


How do you produce the prints?

Every print we create is a product of our dedication to excellence! We utilize a top-tier Canon printer, allowing us to guarantee superior quality and a fast dispatch. Our choice of heavyweight 271gsm photographic paper with a matte finish ensures each print we produce will remain vibrant for years to come and stand out in your home.
