For every frame size we offer, there will be a template available in the online designer that displays your image at full bleed that you can drag and drop your chosen photograph into. This clearly displays the image in full view with no border, which you confirm at the checkout when selecting “No Mount” when ordering. This is a classic option to put your photography at the centre stage to be married seamlessly with the frame moulding.

You can choose the same colour mount to be combined, or contrasting colours once at the checkout and select in which order you would like them assembled.

How to hang your Classic Small Frame
Our hanging system is simple and easy to utilise as each frame arrives to you prepared with pre-positioned hangers on the reverse to distribute the weight evenly once hung. These sturdy hangers are 10mm in width, which allows for valuable wiggle room when hanging your frame on the wall to adjust positioning left to right. Simply measure the space inbetween the hangers to plot your holes on your desired wall and safely administer screws into position. Then once you’re satisfied that the screws are secure, lift your frame and rest the inside of the hangers over the screws to hold in place on the wall. As each bespoke frame is supplied ready to hang and with a presentation box included, handing over a beautifully finished product to a client has never been easier.
Bleed
Please ensure your images for your Classic Smallphoto frame include at least a 5mm bleed on each edge to avoid any unwanted cropping on your final print. Due to the handmade nature of our products, we require additional bleed or “spare picture” in your images so they can be made to size with perfect edges once complete. All our printers and production methods can crop around 3-5mm into the print image so always ensure that heads, feet, dresses and other important parts of your image are not placed too close to the edge of the design. The online designer does give you a faded guideline when creating your frames to illustrate approximately which part of the image may be lost. Although this is not exact, this can help you visualise the non-crucial image that may be cropped into around the edge such as sky or grass etc. This is also a requirement when opting for a mount, as any mount option will physically overlay your picture covering 3-5mm of each edge of every image to avoid any blank film edges showing through. This would be for every picture in multi-aperture mounts, so please place your images consciously. If you are concerned about this process or have any questions at all, please do get in touch with one of our friendly customer support team members who would be happy to help.
