By Charlie Brown

Are you on the lookout for poster frames and photograph frames? You might be organizing a photography or art show where you will need to display dozens of photos. The one thing that everyone will do at this point is to go on the internet to bulk order photo frames. Yes, you can do that by all means. But what if the products are damaged, or of a different dimension with low visibility?

As you might have figured out, getting your hand on the right poster frames can be a bit tricky when you are buying in bulk, but don’t fret, because we have the solution for you. The following post is about the secret tips and tricks that you need to keep in mind for your poster buying endeavor.

So, without further ado, let us look at what to do when you are looking to buy frames in bulk.

Making sure that the dimensions are perfect

The first thing that you need to do while purchasing photo frames in bulk is to measure the dimensions of each item and photograph that you are planning to display. Keep in mind that this is vital since if the sizes do not match, your entire bulk order will need to be canceled and sent back for a change. This means downtime at your studio or extra hassles before the grand opening day for the show.

Asking about discounts

Well, there is no point being shy and not trying to cut a bit of the corner when the situation demands it. You can quite easily ask the dealer or the retailer to supply the items at a discounted rate. Keep in mind that you are well within your rights, and since you are buying in bulk, you will find many compliant dealers and sellers.

About standard-sized artwork

Here is a trade secret that you need to understand before placing the order. Keep in mind that artforms can be the standard size, while some are of odd sizes and shapes. Whichever be the case, custom framers will produce frames for any size or shape of the artwork. However, it is always a great idea to make sure that your display pieces are of the standard size or not.

Planning the order

Continuing from the previous section, once you have figured out the type of art pieces that you are planning to display, it becomes easier for you to plan your purchase and order.  There are different scenarios that you will be working with – bunch of same size poster frames or several different sized frames. Whichever it is, take stock of the inventory to plan better.

Check your deadline and other details

Always order several weeks before the deadline to make sure that your days leading to the opening are hassle-free. Also, keep in mind that it is still a great idea to work with a reputed seller to avoid unwelcome surprises down the line.

Additionally, there are aesthetic concerns as well with choices between metal and wooden frames. Keep in mind that you will need to choose between the non-glare and glare covers for the images depending on your light settings.

We hope that this post helps in making your poster frame purchase a smoother experience.
