Aluminium Framed Giclee Prints

Clean lines. Slim profiles. Loads of finish options.

Our aluminium framed giclée prints are made using Nielsen Alpha frames, designed and manufactured in Germany.

At just 7.8mm across the front, the Alpha profile creates a very fine line around the artwork, while the 25.9mm frame depth gives it a more substantial side profile.

Choose from a curated range of finishes including Matt Black, Brushed Amber, Silver Polished, Dark Grey Polished, Oak, White Oak and Black Oak, alongside further Alpha finishes. From classic gallery black to warm metallics and real wood veneers, there’s plenty of room to change the character of the finished piece.

Your artwork or photography is produced using our 12-colour giclée printing process on the fine art paper of your choice, then professionally framed in our Brighton studio. Add a mount for a more traditional gallery presentation, or frame the print without one for a cleaner, more contemporary look.

Each frame includes edge-ground float glass, an acid-free barrier layer, solid backing and hanging hardware. Larger sizes can be hung portrait or landscape and arrive ready to go straight on the wall.

A strong option for artists, photographers and illustrators selling finished work, creating exhibition pieces or simply looking for a really good frame.

Why Aluminium?

Aluminium gives the frame a much finer visual profile than a traditional wooden moulding.

The Nielsen Alpha profile measures just 7.8mm across the front, creating a crisp edge around the artwork without adding unnecessary visual weight. At 25.9mm deep, it still feels substantial from the side.

It works particularly well with photography, graphic work, contemporary illustration and larger prints where you want the frame to feel present without dominating the artwork.

And aluminium doesn’t have to mean silver.

The Alpha range includes polished metals, matt finishes, warm brushed tones and real wood veneers, giving you a much broader palette than a typical aluminium frame.

Note: None A sizes are in CM 

For bulk orders custom frames and colours are available.  

Standard Sizes Available

We offer a wide range of standard print sizes, including A5 to A0 and popular inch sizes from 4x6" up to 40x30". Most artwork and photography sizes are covered within our standard range.

Custom Sizes

Need a custom size? Simply choose the next size up that your required dimensions fit within and add your exact size requirements in the order notes. We'll trim your print to size before dispatch.

Size Guide

If you need to check any sizes, we've got a handy size guide further down the page. It has cm and inch conversions.

White Borders

White borders are popular in giclee printing as they are useful for framing and also signing and numbering limited edition prints.

We will scale your art with a suitable white border based on scale and paper size. If you have a preference on border width, let us know in the notes section.

Note: If you select a white border, it’s printed within your chosen size — the paper size stays the same. For example, an A3 print with a white border still measures A3 overall, with your artwork reduced slightly to fit the border. If you select “no border”, your image will print full bleed, right to the edges of the paper.

Resizing Artwork

We can help re-size your artwork for the print size you order. We will check your artwork is the correct ratio and make sure it fits well on the paper size selected. If your artwork is a different ratio to the ordered size, we will be able to make a custom sized print at the closest size to the ordered size.

We can work with a wide variety of artwork, image and file types.

We manually check every file before printing. If we spot any obvious issues, we'll get in touch before production.

Ideal specification:

- Colour format: RGB or CMYK
- Resolution: 300 dpi +
- File format: JPEG, PDF, PSD, AI
- 8 bit or 16 bit
- Flattened files where possible

We print using 12 ink colours which means we can replicate RGB colours more closely than 4 colour CMYK prints.
