Custom Framing a Limited-Edition Print in San Francisco

Limited-edition prints deserve a framing approach that balances presentation and protection while letting the artwork’s personality come through. For this piece, we focused on creating a clean, bold design that complements the graphic strength of the print without overpowering it.

We chose a mirror-finish slanted frame to bring a sense of polish and contrast to the presentation. Its reflective surface adds visual interest and gives the piece a contemporary edge. To separate the frame from the white paper, we added a slim red fillet—a small but essential detail that introduces color and creates a crisp transition between the artwork and the frame.

This kind of detail work is central to how we approach custom framing at Underglass. Each choice, from frame profile to accent elements, is made with the artwork, the client’s space, and long-term display in mind.
