Acrylic Frame Types at a Glance

Acrylic frames are not one product — they are several formats built from the same material. The six most-ordered types are floating frames, magnetic photo frames, tabletop frames, wall-mounted frames, certificate & diploma frames, and double-sided frames. They differ mainly in how the print is held, how the frame is mounted, and where it's used — a floating frame suspends the print between two clear panels for a frameless look, while a magnetic frame uses embedded magnets for fast photo swaps. The reference below shows the typical setup for each; every frame is custom-built, so your size, thickness, and finish are engineered to your spec at an MOQ of 50 pieces.

Frame type Typical opening / mount Best for Size range MOQ Lead time
Floating frame Two clear panels, standoff or tabletop Galleries, wedding gifts, frameless modern look 4×6" to 24×36" 50 pcs 15–20 days
Magnetic photo frame Embedded neodymium magnets, snap open Retail, hotel rooms, menus — frequent photo swaps 4×6" to 16×20" 50 pcs 15–20 days
Tabletop frame Integrated stand — angled, L-base, weighted Desks, reception counters, event tables 4×6" to 11×14" 50 pcs 15–20 days
Wall-mounted frame Standoff pins, French cleat, or adhesive Offices, galleries, hospitality installations 5×7" to 24×36" 50 pcs 15–20 days
Certificate & diploma frame Slot-in or floating, wall or tabletop Degrees, licenses, awards — long-term display 8.5×11", A4, 11×14" 50 pcs 15–20 days
Double-sided frame Two panels, magnetic or screw-post, T-base Menus, table signage, retail — viewed both sides 4×6" to 11×17" 50 pcs 15–20 days

Framing Program Pricing at 50 / 500 / 5,000 Pieces

Framing programs typically order at three volumes — a 50-piece pilot, a 500-piece rollout, and 5,000-piece program scale. These are typical FOB bands to budget against, not quotes; your exact number is quoted per spec within 24 hours.

Order Volume Program Stage 5×7" Tabletop (3mm, slot-in) 8.5×11" Certificate (5mm, engraved logo) 11×14" Floating (5mm, standoffs)
50 pcs (MOQ)Pilot / first orderfrom $4–8 / unitfrom $8–16 / unitfrom $11–20 / unit
500 pcsMulti-location rolloutfrom $2–5 / unitfrom $5–11 / unitfrom $7–14 / unit
5,000 pcsAnnual framing programfrom $1.50–4 / unitfrom $4–9 / unitfrom $5–11 / unit

Typical FOB Shenzhen bands — exact quote per spec, within 24 hours. Unit price falls with volume because setup (cutting programs, print and engraving setup, polishing changeover) spreads across more pieces; there are no separate tooling fees at any quantity. Finishing, hardware, and packaging move the number within each band.

Why Acrylic for Frames?

Acrylic (PMMA) is the preferred framing material for commercial and professional use. It offers glass-like clarity at half the weight, 17× the impact resistance, and significantly lower shipping cost. Unlike glass, acrylic won't shatter in transit — making it the safest choice for bulk orders shipped internationally.

Acrylic (PMMA) Glass Wood
Clarity 92% light transmission 90% Opaque border
Weight ~50% lighter than glass Heavy Medium
Impact resistance 17× stronger than glass Fragile — shatters Durable
Shipping safety Shatter-proof — no breakage High breakage risk No breakage risk
Custom shapes Laser-cut, CNC, any shape Limited to rectangles Milled, limited shapes
Branding UV print, engrave, hot stamp Limited Print, engrave
Modern look Frameless, floating, minimal Traditional Traditional
Best for Commercial, hospitality, retail, bulk Fine art, museum Home decor, rustic

Buyers choosing between acrylic and glass picture frames are really choosing how each material fails. Glass frames break in transit — corners chip and panels shatter, which drives up replacement and re-ship costs on bulk international orders — and over decades the glazing can develop a faint tint. Acrylic (PMMA) frames fail far more gracefully: cast acrylic stays optically clear for 5+ years indoors, weighs roughly 50% less than glass, resists shattering when dropped or shipped, and takes a diamond-polished edge that reads like glass without the breakage risk. Glass still earns its place in fine-art and museum framing where a specific glazing spec is required; for commercial, hospitality, retail, and bulk-shipped orders, acrylic is the lower-risk choice.

Acrylic (PMMA) Glass
Shipping durability Shatter-resistant — survives drops and transit Fragile — corners chip, panels shatter
Weight ~50% lighter than glass Heavy — adds freight cost
Clarity over time Stays clear 5+ years indoors Clear, but glazing can tint over decades
Edge finish Diamond-polished — glass-like without breakage Ground or seamed edges
Typical failure mode Surface scuffing if abused Breakage in transit + corner chipping

What Affects Frame Pricing?

Acrylic frame pricing depends on six factors: size, thickness, quantity, finishing, hardware, and packaging. We don't publish fixed prices because every frame is custom — but here's what drives the cost so you can plan your budget.

Size & Thickness

Larger frames and thicker acrylic use more material. A 4×6" tabletop frame costs less than a 24×36" wall-mounted frame of the same design.

Order Quantity

Unit cost drops significantly as quantity increases. 500 frames cost less per piece than 50.

Material Type

Clear acrylic is standard pricing. Frosted, colored, mirrored, and UV-filtering acrylic cost more.

Finishing & Branding

UV printing, laser engraving, and hot stamping add cost. Diamond polishing is included as standard on every frame.

Hardware & Closure

Simple slot-in frames are most economical. Magnetic closures, standoff pins, and integrated stands add to the unit cost.

Packaging & Shipping

Standard bulk packaging is included. Retail-ready packaging, individual boxing, or branded inserts add cost. Shipping method (FOB, CIF, DDP) also affects your landed price.

Indicative Pricing Ranges (FOB Shenzhen)

Every frame is custom, so these are approximate ranges to help you budget — not fixed prices or quotes. Your final number reflects your exact specs.

Scenario Approx. Size Key Specs Qty Indicative FOB Range
Single-panel tabletop frame5×7"3mm clear, slot-in, angled stand500 pcsfrom $2–5 / unit
Magnetic photo frame5×7"3mm clear, embedded magnetic closure300 pcsfrom $3–7 / unit
Certificate frame with branding8.5×11"5mm clear + frosted back, laser-engraved logo500 pcsfrom $5–11 / unit
Floating wall-mount frame11×14"5mm clear, standoff hardware included200 pcsfrom $8–16 / unit
Large gallery floating frame16×20"8mm clear, diamond-polished, standoff mount100 pcsfrom $15–30 / unit

Prices are approximate FOB Shenzhen and vary with exact dimensions, thickness, material, finishing, hardware, and quantity. UV full-color printing, hot stamping, and retail-ready packaging add cost. CIF and DDP shipping change your landed price. Request a quote for your exact specs.

Most custom acrylic frames fall within a predictable range once you lock in these six variables. Send us your specs and we'll give you an exact number — no ballpark, no surprises.

Why Businesses Choose Wetop for Frames

Businesses choose Wetop as their acrylic frame supplier because of consistent quality across large orders, responsive communication, and low 50-piece minimums — backed by ISO 9001 certification and 18+ years of custom acrylic experience.

Wetop Acrylic factory — frame manufacturing

Custom-Built, Not Off-the-Shelf

No catalog sizes, no one-size-fits-all. Send us a sketch, CAD file, or reference photo — our engineering team builds to your exact dimensions, shapes, and branding. We operate 8 laser cutters, 4 CNC machines, and a dedicated diamond polishing line to handle any frame design.

Every Frame Identical to the Sample

Diamond-polished edges deliver optically clear finishes that make your photos look their best. Our 100% inspection process checks every frame against your approved sample — not spot checks, every single one. The frame you approve is the frame your team receives, whether you order 50 or 5,000.

From Prototype to Production in Days

Samples ship in 3–5 days. Bulk production runs 15–20 days. Our 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility scales from 50-unit test orders to large-volume rollouts — same factory, same quality standards, same team.

We needed a few thousand branded certificate frames for our annual awards. Every one came back identical — edges, engraving, packaging. Zero rejects out of the full run. They've handled our program three years running.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of acrylic frames does Wetop manufacture?

We manufacture all types of acrylic frames including floating frames, magnetic photo frames, tabletop frames, wall-mounted frames, double-sided frames, certificate frames, and frameless acrylic picture mounts — two clear panels held by standoffs or magnets that sandwich the print. Every frame is custom-built to your specifications — size, thickness, color, and branding — with a minimum order of 50 pieces.

What sizes are available for custom acrylic frames?

We build acrylic frames in any custom size from 4×6 inches to 24×36 inches and beyond. Standard photo sizes (5×7, 8×10, 11×14, 16×20) are most common. For non-standard shapes — round, hexagonal, or custom die-cut — send us your dimensions and we'll engineer it.

Can you make double-sided acrylic frames for freestanding displays?

Yes. Double-sided acrylic frames are one of our most popular products. Two clear acrylic panels sandwich the photo or print, making it visible from both sides — ideal for tabletop displays, restaurant menus, and retail signage. We use magnetic closures or screw-post hardware depending on your use case.

Are acrylic frames safe for long-term photo preservation?

Standard acrylic provides excellent clarity and UV resistance compared to regular glass. For archival-grade framing, we offer UV-filtering acrylic that blocks 92%+ of harmful ultraviolet radiation — protecting prints from fading and yellowing over decades. This is the standard for archival-grade framing. Acrylic is also shatter-resistant, making it safer for shipping and high-traffic environments.

What finishes are available for custom acrylic frames?

We offer diamond polishing for crystal-clear edges, flame polishing, frosted finishes for a matte look, silk-screen printing, UV full-color printing, laser engraving, and hot stamping for metallic accents. Most frames combine multiple finishes — for example, diamond-polished edges with a UV-printed logo.

How much do custom acrylic frames cost?

Pricing depends on five factors: frame size, acrylic thickness, quantity, finishing complexity, and hardware type. A simple single-panel tabletop frame costs less than a magnetic floating frame with UV-printed branding and retail packaging. Send us your specs — we respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote.

Can you make a frame in a custom shape (round, hexagonal, or custom die-cut)?

Yes. Our CNC laser cutters handle any shape you provide in your artwork file. Circle, hexagon, star, company logo outline — whatever you send, we'll cut it with diamond-polished edges. Custom shapes don't require a larger MOQ (still 50 pieces minimum) and don't necessarily add cost — design complexity is the main driver. Send your artwork file and we'll quote it within 24 hours. Browse customization options.

Do you stock frames or is everything custom, and what's the fastest you can ship?

Everything is made to order — we're a custom manufacturer, not a warehouse, so we don't hold finished frames on a shelf. That's what lets us match your exact size, thickness, and branding instead of forcing you into catalog dimensions. Typical timeline is a sample in 3–5 days and bulk production in 15–20 days after you approve it. If you're on a deadline, tell us the in-hand date up front: for simpler clear or single-panel frames we can often compress the run, and air freight (vs. sea) shaves the shipping leg from weeks to days. We'll tell you honestly whether your date is achievable before you commit.

What's the MOQ — can you do a below-50 trial run?

Our standard minimum is 50 pieces per design, which is already low for custom acrylic. Below that, a paid sample or small pre-production trial (typically 1–5 pieces) is the right path to validate the frame before you commit to a full run — the sample cost is credited toward your first bulk order. A true sub-50 production batch is possible on a case-by-case basis but carries a higher per-unit cost, because tooling, setup, and polishing are the same whether we run 20 or 200. Tell us your target quantity and we'll quote both the trial and the volume price so you can compare.

Can frames ship flat-pack for self-assembly to cut freight?

Yes, where the design allows it. Many frame formats — standoff wall mounts, magnetic two-panel frames, and screw-post double-sided frames — ship as flat panels plus hardware, which packs denser and lowers freight cost per unit versus pre-assembled units. Assembly is straightforward (align panels, insert magnets or standoffs, tighten), and we include instructions. Some formats, like fully bonded floating frames, are assembled at the factory because the bond has to be executed under controlled conditions. Send your design and we'll tell you which parts can flat-pack and the freight difference it makes.

What's my landed cost — freight, duty, and HS code for acrylic frames?

Landed cost = unit price + freight + duty + any brokerage/last-mile fees. We quote FOB Shenzhen by default, and can also quote CIF (adds sea/air freight to your port) or DDP (we handle door-to-door including duties) so you see a fuller number. Acrylic photo/picture frames typically classify under HS heading 3924 or 3926 (articles of plastic); some framed or mounted formats may fall under 9403 — the correct code depends on the exact product and destination, so always confirm the final classification and duty rate with your customs broker before you budget. Give us your destination country and quantity and we'll estimate freight so you can model landed cost.

How does price break by quantity (50 / 200 / 500 / 1,000)?

Unit price drops as volume rises because fixed setup — tooling, print/engraving setup, polishing line changeover — spreads across more pieces. As a general shape: 50 pieces is the highest per-unit tier (setup-heavy), 200 typically brings a meaningful drop, 500 lands in the sweet spot most bulk buyers order at, and 1,000+ earns the best per-unit rate. The exact break depends on size, material, finishing, and hardware, so we don't publish fixed price ladders — but send one spec at your candidate quantities and we'll return a tiered quote so you can see where the volume savings kick in for your frame.

Can you put non-photo inserts inside — art, a coin or medal, an embroidered piece?

Yes. Frames aren't limited to flat photos. Two-panel and floating formats hold artwork, prints, pressed flowers, embroidered or fabric pieces, and thin documents. For slightly dimensional objects — a coin, medal, or patch — we can build a deeper cavity or a recessed pocket so the object sits securely in view. If the item is thick or heavy, tell us its dimensions and weight and we'll engineer the panel gap, backing, and closure around it. For deeper keepsakes, see our related acrylic shadow box frames.

Can you re-run my previous frame order from the saved specs?

Yes. Once we've produced a frame for you, we keep the production specs and tooling on file — size, thickness, material, finishing, hardware, and packaging. For a repeat order you just tell us the design and quantity; there's no need to re-send artwork or re-approve a sample if nothing changed, which makes reorders faster than a first run. If you want to tweak the size, color, or branding on a re-run, send just the changes and we'll update the spec and confirm before production.

Have a Frame Design? Let's Quote It.

Send us your design, sketch, or reference photo. We respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote — material options, finishing choices, and timeline included. No commitment required. Sample before you commit to production.
