Offering a framed version of your best-selling prints gives buyers a ready-to-hang gift and makes your listings stand out. Here's how to set it up without holding more stock than you need.
1. Pick your core sizes first
Most UK print shops focus on a few standard sizes, so that one frame style covers many designs:
| Size | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm |
| A3 | 297 × 420 mm |
| 8 × 10 in | 203 × 254 mm |
| 12 × 16 in | 305 × 406 mm |
Start with your two best-selling sizes, and add more once framed orders are coming in steadily.
2. Choose two or three frame finishes
Buyers like a choice without being overwhelmed. A natural or light wood finish, a black frame and one more decorative option cover most interiors. Use our free Frame Atelier to preview your own artwork in each YTK frame before you decide.
3. Buy empty frames in batches
YTK supplies fully joined empty frames, so you fit your own prints. Orders start at 8 frames, and repeat orders are welcome. That suits a print shop that reorders as framed sales grow. Glass and backing can be quoted if you need them.
4. Photograph the framed product properly
Photograph each framed size on a plain wall and at an angle, with a close-up of the corner. Buyers want to see the finish of the moulding before they pay more for a framed print.
5. Plan packaging and delivery
Framed prints need corner protectors and rigid packaging. Factor that cost into your framed price from day one.
