What is contract framing?

Contract framing is professional picture framing at scale. Not one or two frames, but tens or hundreds – all delivered on time, to spec and at a price that works for your budget.

Whether you're fitting out a new hotel, preparing for an exhibition opening or refreshing a corporate headquarters, contract framing takes the complexity out of large orders.

We handle the logistics so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Why Readymades?

Large orders don't mean longer lead times. Whether you need 50 picture frames or 500, our production capacity handles projects of any size without compromising on quality or turnaround.

How we work with you

Every project starts with a conversation. We'll discuss your requirements, timelines and budget, then recommend the best approach – whether that's selecting from our readymade range or creating something bespoke.

1. Brief and consultation – Tell us about your contract framing project. We'll ask about quantities, sizes, styles and deadlines to understand what you need.

2. Samples and sign-off – We'll send samples so you can see and feel the quality before committing. For larger projects, we can produce a prototype to confirm the exact specification.

3. Production – Once approved, our team of skilled framers gets to work. We'll keep you updated on progress and flag any issues early.

4. Delivery and installation – Your frames arrive on the agreed date, carefully packaged and ready to hang. For complex installations, we can discuss on-site support.

Case study: UWE Bristol

We've been supporting UWE's photography students for over a decade. In 2025, around half the graduating cohort chose Readymades to frame their work for exhibitions at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol and the Copeland Gallery in London.

"We’ve used Readymades for over 10 years. Their frames offer the ideal balance of quality, speed and affordability, providing a professional, cost-effective solution for our students. The build quality is excellent and the finish consistently strong." – John House, Senior Lecturer in Photography at UWE
