Framing for retail and resale

If you sell framed work, start with a Pro Account: one form, your business details, and resale documentation only for resale purchases. From there one team handles the framing, the printing, the packing and the shipping, on one production floor.

Opening the account

Choose Business or commercial on the Pro Account form, with your business name and address, a short description of what you plan to order, and whether any of it is for resale. Only for resale purchases, a Resale License number and a copy of your Seller’s Permit may be requested. An associate will get back to you as soon as possible.

Production runs

Volume framing and production runs, project-managed: the same frame, mat and glazing repeated across the run, chopped and joined in-house, with the giclée and UV printing done in our own lab. Tell us the date, and the turnaround is quoted with the order.

Printing what you sell

The print lab sits on the same floor: scanning up to 600 dpi, archival giclée up to 64 inches wide, canvas stretched in house, and a 60 × 96 inch UV flatbed that prints straight onto wood, acrylic and aluminum. Every file is color-managed here, with proofs to confirm the appearance on the selected materials before a press runs.

Selling online

Companies with online stores can send us their order and we can print, frame, package and ship directly from our store. “And I have my Shopify store connected so they can fulfill orders directly too. I love working with Ivana to get all of my client orders completed and delivered,” Mallory M., a professional art photographer in Long Beach, wrote on Yelp. E-commerce fulfillment has the detail.

Displays and signs for the store

Retail and promotional displays, dimensional signs and lettering, wall graphics and decals and window graphics come out of the same building, CNC- and laser-cut and color-managed with the framed work. See signs and displays.

Getting it to you

Delivery and pickup run in and around Orange County for goods we have produced. Delivery is available for an additional charge and is quoted separately. For large pieces, multiple piece orders or long distances we can build a custom wood crate; we have existing freight service accounts for shipping crates, and we confirm receiving requirements, such as a forklift, before booking shipment.

How it is quoted

Custom work is quoted in person or from your plans and measurements, because no two projects are the same. Tell us what you are making, how many and by when, or walk in at 1671 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm or Saturday 9am to 1pm.

Asked at the counter.

Do you frame for resale?

Can you repeat the same frame across a run?

Yes. Volume framing and production runs repeat the same frame, mat and glazing, chopped and joined in-house, with the giclée and UV printing done in our own lab.

Can you print, frame and ship to my customers?

Yes. Companies with online stores can send us their order and we can print, frame, package and ship directly from our store.

Can you ship large orders?

Yes. For large pieces, multiple piece orders or long distances we can build a custom wood crate. We have existing freight service accounts for shipping crates, and we confirm receiving requirements, such as a forklift, before booking shipment.
