If you want to choose a photo frame for your work, you can refer to the following.

Take the photo frame mounting of photographic works as an example. The optional forms of photo frames are mainly foam plastic, aluminum alloy, solid wood photo frames and other materials.

  1. Most of the plastic materials are recycled recycled polymer materials or acrylic, PS plastic, etc., which are used to make photo frame lines. They are characterized by diverse shapes, bright colors, and economic benefits. They are mainly used for mounting and displaying daily pictures such as photo frames and decorative paintings in studios. The advantage is that the design is rich and diverse, economical, highly decorative, and suitable for daily consumption. The disadvantage is that due to the low price, strong popularity, and lack of personalization, some photo frames are exaggerated in shape and poor in quality. It is not appropriate to upgrade the level of serious theme works used for mounting. And low-end plastic products are easy to age and crack.
  2. Aluminum alloy photo frames are mostly used for photography, decorative painting, oil painting, digital art illustration, etc. At present, the aluminum alloy photo frame is mainly in the simple and handsome style of narrow frame, which highlights the subjectivity of photography. Most film exhibitions, art auctions, simple style works, etc. will choose aluminum alloy frame to match the theme, which is also the type of frame preferred by photographers. It can easily match the photography theme. Aluminum alloy structure has high strength.
  3. Solid wood photo frames, because environmental protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the production and production of wooden photo frames highlight the natural and environmental protection again. At present, most of the wooden photo frames are used for calligraphy, painting, seriously created photography, non duplicated oil paintings, and mounting of collections. At present, the classification of the use of solid wood picture frames mainly includes: classical Chinese calligraphy and painting frames, minimalist photography and painting universal picture frames, European antique oil picture frames, and Nordic/American naturalistic retro painting frames.

It is worth noting that no matter plastic or solid wood photo frames, some low-end photo frames use formaldehyde and organic solvent (benzene) components in the processing process, or use highly acidic and highly oily wood without treating the oil and acid substances therein. This kind of picture frame is not allowed to be used for museum level and protective level mounting.
