Yes! There are three reasons why you should ship your prints to Framations!

1.) We offer professional wet mounting at no extra charge!

              Wet mounting provides a permanent, smooth look to your posters!  In the wet mount process, the poster is glued to the fome-cor backing and vacuum pressed. This process greatly improves the overall look of the framing. Large prints (over 16x20) have a tendancy to wave or bubble over time due to the effects of gravity. Wet mounting eliminates this sagging in your print. Posters that have dimples or curl will benifit from being wet mounted. (If the poster has tears or the paper backing is showing thru, this will still show, but it will look better than prior mounting)

2.) We will power seal the framing shut!

             Power sealing the framing adds extra durability & lifespan to the framing. We also seal the backing using framers tape, giving your frame extra protection against dust.

3.) You will get your artwork back ready to hang on the wall!

            Just unpack and you are ready to hang! No fussing with trying to insert your item into the frame. No cleaning the inside acrylic because dust keeps getting inside. You won't have to attch hardware for hanging. The only tools you'll need are a hammer and nails to hang your art on the wall!

Please do NOT ship us your print if any of the following conditions apply:

     - Your print is irreplacable to you!  Insurance is great, but it cannot replace a one of a kind item. Our maximum liability per item is $100.00. You must have a valid receipt for the item. If no receipt is available, our maximum liablility is $25.00. Framations is NOT responsible for damage inccured during shipping.

     - You believe your poster /print will appreciate in value. (The framing materials shown on this website are decorative grade. This means that they are NOT archival ) If you are keeping artwork as an investment...please invest in the archival framing. Our frames are meant for decorating. Signed &/or numbered pieces may or may not appreciate in value.... but you should be the judge of how it is framed. If you just want it to look pretty on the wall for the next 20 years, by all means, have us frame it and save a lot of money. BUT, if you want to pass the artwork down from generation to generation, please contact us about conservation framing.
