Framing Shops in Singapore

12.09.2022

Theres an abundance of framing shops in Singapore that cater to all kinds of framing, budgets and styles. In this article we’ll run through some of favourites.

Best for ease of use – FrameIT

Ok, we might be a little biased on this one, but FrameIT is the only vendor in Singapore that offers custom framing directly through their website. Whilst they do have a physical space located at Cendex Centre, the majority of their frames are purchased online and shipped directly to the customer.

The website is built with simplicity in mind so all you need to know is the height and width of the item you plan to frame. Once you’ve input those numbers you can select from a range of popular frame styles and mat colours then complete your purchase online. The frame will arrive in 5-7 working days.

They use good quality wood moulds [mostly pine] and acid free mat boards with every frame hand-crafted to individual order specifications.

FrameIT is best suited for prints, photographs, and posters where you are comfortable mounting the item inside once the frame arrives. As we are a sister company of FrameIT you can also provide them with digital files of your prints and have the printing and mounting handled by them.
