A box frame is an important part of the overall presentation of any artwork. Most people are concerned about damages to their precious valuables. They are justified to do so because unsupervised handling and many other environmental factors can cause problems. This is why you should box frame your collectables for the following reasons:

  • Protection. Box frames prevent your artwork from damaging elements, such as wear and tear. For example, signatures on the autographed memorabilia can fade because of regular handling and exposure. Hence, you require a box frame with a layer of glass to protect it from damage.  
  • Aesthetic appeal. If you are interested in improving the decor of any space, perhaps box frames are the best option. Box frames have different designs, sizes, materials, and shapes to match any indoor environment. For instance, you can use hand-finished wood box frames to create s sophisticated indoor environment. 
  • Hanging flexibility. You can hang box frames in various ways to prevent damage to your collectibles. Thankfully, you can use metal, plastic, or wood materials to hang your box frames, giving you a choice to match the rest of the interior decoration.
