It’s that easy!
What does CROP and NO CROP mean?
Some pictures or posters are printed with a white or colored border that may also contain some writing. When framing and matting it is usual to cover or trim this border so it does not show in the final framed product but the choice is yours. To remove the border, simply click ‘CROP’ when
you are choosing your matting and frame. To leave the border visible, click ‘NO CROP’.
P.S. Some people have asked –
Is there an economical alternative to framing?
Are there some prints you like but framing is not an option for all of them?
The best alternative is to select the Floating Mount Style.
It is both elegant and cost effective. Your picture is fused to a 1/8 inch board and then reinforced with a square mounting bracket on the back. This provides added structural rigidity and because the mount is recessed from the edge, it gives a beautiful effect
with the picture suspended away from the wall as if it is floating in front of the surface.
The Floating Mount Style is an economical and ideal solution for creating large elegant groupings of pictures when the cost of framing all the pictures may not be practical. To see
