Framing Supplies and Tools

Made from archival polypropylene, these self-adhesive, see-through photo corners are used extensively in our frame shop for all manner of framing, particularly where we have additional border around the paper image being framed and the photo corner will not show in the mat opening. This is the least invasive way to secure your art.

Flax stocks both types of woven linen tapes in common use today in framing: pressure sensitive, acrylic-based adhesive that is pH neutral, or water-activated, gummed, neutral pH tape. Both have their applications for both hinging mats to backing boards and certain types of art to the backing.

For those who need to get their art up on the wall quickly, but inexpensively and want a minimalist look, try using Gallery Clips or Uni-frames. These simple framing rigs allow you to sandwich your art between a backing board and glass or plexi quickly and inexpensively.
