Picture Frame Mouldings by the Metre
31 stocked profiles, 15–90 mm face, raw to foil, 2,000 m MOQ, quoted per metre, the repeat-purchase line.
Our workhorse frame: solid pine or poplar profile, mitred, spline-keyed, primed and top-coated in-house. It is the SKU that carries most wholesale programmes because it looks like a mid-market retail frame and costs a frame shop a fraction of the shelf price landed.

Frames fail on moisture and on coating build-up. We machine at 10–12 % and hold the total film thickness under 90 µm so a rebate still accepts a 1.2 mm matboard and a 2.5 mm back without stress. Export orders are packed with 2 g desiccant per carton and a moisture reading on the inspection sheet.
| Species / board | Where it wins | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Solid pine | Cheap, machines cleanly, takes paint well | Knot bleed if primer is skipped. We block-coat |
| Poplar | Light, stable, best for primed colours | Soft; dents in transit if corner cards are omitted |
| MDF + pine backer | Perfect for ornate coving profiles | TSCA Title VI certificates required for the US |
| Mongolian pine (樟子松) | Denser than radiata, takes primer without blocking | Our default for export frame programmes |
| Brazilian pine (巴西松木) | Light, straight grain, low weight per unit | Soft. We use it for easels and light frames, not load-bearing parts |
| Acacia / rubberwood | Premium look for floating frames | +35–60 % material; plan retail price accordingly |

Frames ship into five buyer types, and each one asks for different paperwork. We adapt the packing and the certificate set rather than sending the same carton everywhere.
Certificates per board batch; solid pine and poplar are out of scope and cheaper for the US market.
Species and harvest-country data supplied for the DDS and for the US PPBM declaration.
Coatings tested; migration report available where the SKU could be judged child-adjacent.
Solid-wood pallets heat treated and marked; carton marks to your PO scheme.
For the US we quote solid timber (out of TSCA scope) or certified composite board, and supply the Lacey Act plant-product data your broker needs for the PPBM declaration. For the EU, the frame and its backing are EUDR-relevant from 30 December 2026, so we supply harvest geolocation with the DDS fields pre-filled — see our EU compliance guide.
The answers below are the ones we give on the phone. Anything missing, ask on WhatsApp.
Yes. That is the point of a factory. Non-standard sizes cost the same tooling as a standard size because we cut on a CNC double mitre saw with a program per size; only the mat window is new work. MOQ 300 pcs per unusual size, sample in 5 days.
Face width and coating count. The entry build is a 15 mm single-coat primed poplar in bulk; the next tier buys a 32 mm three-coat pine frame with corner keys, acrylic and a printed sleeve. We will quote both so you can place the product in the right shelf tier.
Yes. 1.2 mm matboard cut to your window, acid-free option for gallery lines, and digital or screen printing of prints and insert cards. Bundling the print with the frame turns a small frame order into a three-times-larger one for most gift-shop buyers.
Three habits: spline-keyed joints instead of glue-only, a two-minute clamping cycle before the finish line, and a 0.2 mm relief cut in the rebate corner so paint cannot bridge and lift. We photograph 10 pcs per batch and attach it to the pre-shipment report.
31 stocked profiles, 15–90 mm face, raw to foil, 2,000 m MOQ, quoted per metre, the repeat-purchase line.
