Cardboard Frame: Art Shipping System

Posted on April 12, 2007 Under Art

Cardboard Frame is marketing their cardboard (yet “surprisingly strong”) frames as an entire system that allows you to easily affix artwork and then ship the entire package to, well, wherever you want. They offer a bunch of styles and colors, and are relatively inexpensive– compared to what you’d spend at a frame shop on top of shipping costs. And right now, it look as though they’re offering a “3 for the price of 2” deal on their 16×20 and 18×24 sizes. How does it work? You take a matted print or stretched canvas and velcro it to the frame, which is actually part of a shipping system, with shipping box and padding included. Then just label and send it!. I’m interested to learn about the quality and functionality of these, so if any of you have tried them, let me know about your experience. Seems like a good idea for those looking to frame and ship art in one fell swoop.
