What is the difference between a frame and a shell?

The term frame shell refers to an empty frame, without its standard contents. A frame is filled with standard materials. The shell price is lower than the frame price.

Why does it say Ready-Made if you make everything?

The reason we call our frames ready-made is because they arrive to you ready-to-use. Our mouldings arrives to us ready to be made into a frame, and then we are responsible for cutting, joining, filling, shrinkwrapping, and packaging the frames before they are shipped to you.

How do I order shell-only?

Go to the page of the frame's series you would like to order. Scroll down, and on the left-hand side there is a sidebar for custom framing. Select the size and you wish to order and change "Complete" to "Shell-Only."
