Providing Custom Frames For A Diverse Client Base

Custom Frames For Guidons and Shadow Boxes – Store Front for Cindy’s Custom Framing, 10070 Ford Avenue, Richmond Hill, GA 31324, Phone: 912-756-2781

We are Cindy’s Custom Framing & Antique Art. And we specialize in custom frames–specifically providing custom picture frames and custom-built shadow boxes in addition to the standard picture frame designs listed on this site.

We have operated a successful retail picture frame shop in Richmond Hill, GA since 2006. At the heart of our picture framing success are three key elements: Our commitment to high-quality picture framing, and our policy of only using conservation framing materials and techniques. These elements separate us in many ways from our competition as we have illustrated in our Pricing Policy page.

Offering Custom Picture Frames And Military Shadow Boxes

A large segment of our custom frame shop business focuses on designing custom frames and custom shadow boxes for military customers. The e-commerce store was initiated as an added service to our civilian and military custom picture framing customers. Offering pre-configured guidon framing options is an expedient way to offer guidon framing services without the need to physically visit our shop. The products offered in the e-commerce store evolved from requests from our military customers purchasing framed guidons. Simply put, the guidon options and designs available in the e-commerce store offer our online customers a simplified way to purchase framed guidons. The designs in our online store historically represent the most frequently requested guidon framing options by our military customers.

Expanding Beyond Simplified Framing Designs

Custom Frames For Shadow Boxes, Framed Guidons, Military Art, Flag Display Cases, Military Awards, Medals, and all custom framing projects begin on a computerized mat cutting program

Looking for a custom picture frame? We admit the simplified selections of framed guidons in our online catalog do not fulfill the design requirements for every customer. The standard guidon design packages sold on this site are not a perfect “fit” for every guidon or shadow box customer. Many of our military framing customers request that we place additional objects inside custom frames, flag displays, and shadow boxes. Typically, customers want additional combinations of photographs, distinctive unit insignias, medals, badges, coins, awards, diplomas, and certificates added to their custom shadow box or guidon frame. In addition, they often request military memorabilia that includes combat spurs, knives, and deployment mementos to be incorporated into the custom framing design with other items.

Popular Custom Picture Framing and Shadow Box Framing Options

What is a custom picture frame? Defining custom framing is simple: Provide a unique design that is made-to-order for a specific customer. Quality custom picture framing includes conceiving an aesthetic design that fulfills the customer’s vision for artfully and tastefully displaying their art or memorabilia. Then custom framing involves mat cutting, frame construction, glass or acrylic cutting, placement of objects, and finally the assembly of all the components utilizing conservation framing materials and techniques.

Custom Frames are assembled after a thorough inspection—Close up illustrates the design elements of triple mats, an open V-groove, and the depth provided to objects by layers of mats and foamboard.

Quality custom framing differs dramatically from putting something inside a standard size drab colored, off-the-shelf big-box retail store frame. There is an old adage that states: “You get what you pay for.” Our customers recognize the value associated with the high quality of our custom work. These customers are willing to pay a premium for custom picture framing and shadow boxes that artfully showcase and preserve their objects, guidons, flags, medals, diplomas, and other military memorabilia. The issue of price versus quality is addressed on our page titled “Defining Framed Guidon Quality and Design.” For this reason, the high quality, self-imposed framing standards, and conservation framing techniques we employ have gained us a wide custom framing customer base.

Framed Awards, Certificates, and Diplomas

The framed awards, certificates, and diplomas that we frame range in complexity from a simple framed diploma to a shadow box with objects surrounding the diploma or certificate. Please click here to learn more about the custom framing we perform for awards, certificates, and diplomas.

Framed Battalion Colors

Custom framed battalion colors offer incredible framing options. One of the most popular framing options for Battalion colors involves placing the Battalion colors in the center of the frame. It is surrounded by miniature guidons from different units. In addition, coins and a nameplate commemorating an event are placed beneath the guidon colors.

Framed Cigar Labels

We stock and frame a number of original antique cigar labels with military themes. Framed cigar labels are prized by commanders and collectors. Many of the cigar labels we frame were presented as gifts. Cigar labels can be framed with simple frames, or they can be ornately framed using gold-toned frames with gold-toned fillets and acid-free suede mats. We have a large selection of military theme-related cigar labels listed on our sister site Cindy’s Custom Framing & Antique Art.

Framed Flags And Display Cases

We frame flags in both custom shadow boxes and in flag display cases. We also offer acrylic display cases for large objects and weapons. Please follow this link to see examples of custom flag display cases we have designed and built. The examples of flag display cases in this section only represent a small selection of custom framing options available for display cases.
