OBJECT BOXES
3-D historical displays
Object and acrylic boxes are two distinctive and differing options to display art and/or graphic presentations. Generally speaking, three dimensional objects should be presented in the object, or acrylic box. The object box utilizes a deeper frame moulding fit with glass or acrylic. An acrylic box is a fabricated plastic box which covers the art providing a "cleaner" aesthetic. Two dimensional graphics can also be created in a computer, printed to vinyl and incorporated into the boxes. If you are considering these options to present or archive your art, you should consult a Hang 1 design professional. We look forward to speaking with you, preserving your keepsakes, and bringing your vision to life.

FAQ
How much does it cost to frame my picture?
The price to frame your art will depend on a number of factors including; Size, Style of Moulding, and Additional Product or Services.
Size
Generally speaking, larger costs more. The size will be determined by the size of the frame, not the size of the art. So, adding mats will add more to the cost, not only because of additional materials, but also because the size of the frame has increased. Also, most frame shops will use a pre-determined point at which a piece is considered “oversized”. Usually this point is a frame size of 24”X36”. This is because frame moulding is bought at the wholesale level in 10’ length. Generally, a 24”X36” frame can be built from one 10’ length of moulding. Anything larger is considered oversized. Oversized will increase cost at the wholesale level and, as a result, will increase the cost of your frame job exponentially.
Style of Moulding
Style of moulding that you choose for the frame. Hang 1 carries moulding styles from all over the world. Prices vary widely, and change often. Sometimes, an expensive style can be swapped with a similar, less-costly alternative. At Hang 1, the customer will always be shown all style choices available, and whenever possible, shown less costly alternatives.
Additional Products/Services
Adding additional products and/or services like mounting, stretching, matting, additional mat openings, fabric wraps, fillets and UV and/or non-glare glass or plex will also increase the price of the framing project
