Materials

Materials Matter

 

Great care is taken to select the materials for our prints, frames and cards.  We believe in crafting personalised framed prints that stand the test of time and capture vibrant colours that remain fresh for years. Our commitment to quality is reflected in the materials we use:

Premium Quality Paper

Our prints and greeting cards are printed on 300gsm lightly textured paper, ensuring a beautiful finish.  Greeting cards come with a matching quality envelope.

Archival Pigment Inks

We use archival pigment inks to ensure the longevity of your prints.

Acid-Free Mounts

Some designs come with a soft-white and acid-free picture mount, adding an extra layer of elegance to your chosen design.

Conservation-Quality Backing Board

Each print (framed and unframed) is backed by a conservation-quality, pH-neutral backing board for added protection.  Always keep this board behind your print, inside the frame.

Eco-Friendly Protection

Unframed Prints and Greeting cards are safeguarded by a clear, biodegradable sleeve.

Solid Wood Frames

Our frames are made from

Sustainable Solid Wood

Our frames are proudly made in Ireland from sustainably-sourced solid wood.

Professional Finish

Each frame is professionally hand-finished to achieve beautifully-neat joints.

Versatile Styles

Choose from Black or Limed White finishes to complement your décor.

Acid-Free Sealing

We seal the back of your frame with acid-free tape for extra protection.

Ready to Hang

Your framed print comes ready to hang.

Safety Glazing

We use 2mm Acrylic glazing with offers crystal clear quality while being shatterproof.  Using this acrylic glazing instead of glass makes it a safe choice for areas like children's bedrooms or playrooms.

Eco Friendly Packaging

We understand the importance of being as earth-kind as possible. We take care to ensure that every element of our packaging is either compostable, recyclable, or reusable.

Unframed Prints Packaging

Unframed prints are protected by a clear, biodegradable sleeve, and placed in brightly coloured recyclable packaging, and popped into a recycled, hard-backed 'Do Not Bend' envelope, ready for shipping.

Framed Prints

Framed designs are elegantly wrapped in acid-free tissue and secured with ribbon or raffia twine.  Paper honeycomb-style padding is also used for added protection during transit.  Your framed print is placed in a double-walled cardboard shipping box for ultimate security.

This box is further enclosed in an outer mailer made of 100% recycled material.

Please feel welcome to contact me if you have any questions related to the materials used to create your gifts and cards.  I'm happy to help.
