FAQs
Order
Order times will differ between physical pieces and digital uploads. For physical pieces we aim to deliver your framed piece within 21 days of receiving your order. Digital prints will be printed, framed, and delivered within 10 days or less.
You will receive an email at each stage of the framing process allowing you to follow the status of your order. You can expect to hear from us:
- On order confirmation
- When we have sent out your packaging
- When we have received your item at our workshop
- When the frame is finished and dispatched from our workshop. If at any stage you have any questions please contact us at help@theframery.au
If your order hasn’t left the workshop yet, you’re in luck! You can still make changes, such as:
- Changing the shipping address
- Modifying the frame style
- Adjusting the mat board style
- Tweaking the layout
Simply get in touch with a member of our team, and we’ll work our magic. Please keep in mind that applying these changes might extend the turnaround time for your order.
Your happiness is our business and we ensure it with The Framery Guarantee. If, for any reason, you are not delighted with your order, please inform us and we’ll set things right. Whenever you contact us, a dedicated member of our Support team will help find a solution that works for you.
Sizing and pricing
What we need to know is the width and height of your piece. These measurements will be the area that will be visible once the piece is framed. I.e., measure the dimensions of the graphical area for any art and don’t worry about additional white space. If you wish to have a border of white space, please let us know in the comments section.
For any objects that aren’t on paper, please tell us the overall width and height, making sure the object is less than 2.5 cm (25 mm) thick.
These measurements do not indicate the total size of the frame. Just the size of piece you want to be seen once framed.
What is the largest frame I can order? The largest piece that we can frame is 61x86cm. At this size the piece can only have a standard mat board boarder or smaller. If you have something larger than 61x86cm please contact us and we will see if we can help you with your piece
Our pricing structure is straightforward and size-based. The pricing is based on the size of the piece, not the frame. Please refer to our pricing page for more details.
Mailing in your art
Sending us your piece is a breeze with our free prepaid packaging options. There are two options:
- Use your own packaging, and we will supply a prepaid shipping label
- If you do not have packaging, we can send you a tube or flat mailer with a prepaid return label.
All our shipping is done through AusPost. Their extensive network means that you are always close to a drop off location.
Once your packaging arrives there are just five easy steps to get your piece to us:
- Place it in the packaging
- Fill in any additional information
- Safely secure and seal package
- Sign and stick on returns label (included)
- Drop off inside your local AusPost and collect your tracking receipt.
Your packaging will be sent within one business day. You will be provided a tracking notification email so you can track your packaging. If at any stage, you have any questions please contact us at help@theframery.au.
The safety and protection of your piece is paramount, and we back it with comprehensive insurance coverage. In the rare event of loss or damage, our support team will work diligently to replace the piece (up to $1,000). If replacement isn’t feasible, we’ll provide reimbursement based on the artwork’s value (up to $1,000).
Please note that documentation such as proof of value, an appraisal, proof of ownership or purchase is necessary in such cases. You will also need to provide the tracking receipt from AusPost to verify your piece was received by AusPost. Without the tracking receipt we cannot process the insurance claim.
For a detailed understanding of our Insurance and Piece Care Guarantee policy, please refer to our Terms of Use.
Printing and digital uploads
We accept .jpg files with 8-bit colour profiles as standard.
That depends on your image. Generally, you want to aim for resolution to print at 300 dpi which you can work out by dividing the pixels by 300. I.e., if your image is 3600×2400 we recommend a print size of 12×8” or approximately 30×20 cm. However, this is just a rule of thumb and prints can still look alright down to 200 DPI, but the sharpness will be reduced slightly.
The largest size we can print is 61x86cm. At this size the piece can only have a standard mat board or smaller.
Prints are made using a 10-ink Epson Stylus Pro 9900 with genuine Epson HDR Ultrachrome pigment inks and media.
We use a fine-art “giclee” print process on 310 gsm inkjet photographic rag. This provides a high-quality matt finish with great tonality
