In this guide, we’ll walk you through:

Let’s get started.

The Art and Purpose of Custom Framing

Custom framing is about more than aesthetics—it’s about preservation and storytelling. A well-crafted frame protects artwork from environmental damage while enhancing its visual impact. From a child’s first painting to a signed jersey or diploma, each item deserves a frame that honors its significance.

Our expert framers at 707 Gallery NJ – Shore To Score blend design expertise with conservation techniques to ensure your memories are beautifully and safely displayed for generations.

The Steps of Custom Framing

1. Consultation and Design Planning

Every project begins with a personal consultation—either in our Toms River showroom or online. We take the time to understand your vision, décor style, and budget.

Whether you’re framing a delicate watercolor, a vintage concert poster, or a sports jersey, we’ll guide you toward the perfect materials and design choices.

Interior designers in NJ, PA and NYC love our collaborative approach—we work hand-in-hand to match frames to room concepts, color schemes, and textures for cohesive design results.

2. Selecting the Frame

The frame sets the tone for your entire piece. At 707 Gallery NJ, we offer an extensive range of picture frames, including:

  • Traditional Frames: Gilded, carved, or classic wood finishes that suit diplomas, portraits, or fine art.
  • Modern Frames: Sleek metals or minimal wood profiles for contemporary interiors.
  • Rustic Frames: Distressed or reclaimed wood for warmth and charm.
  • Shadowbox Frames: Deep-set frames perfect for 3D memorabilia like jerseys, medals, or keepsakes.
  • Custom Mouldings: Handmade frames crafted to any size or specification.

All of our frames are made in the USA using museum-grade materials to ensure strength, beauty, and longevity.

3. Choosing Mat Options

A mat (or matboard) provides breathing room between your artwork and the glass, preventing moisture damage while enhancing visual depth.

Our selection includes:

  • Acid-Free Mats: Essential for preserving valuable pieces without yellowing or deterioration.
  • Single Mats: A simple, clean border that highlights your artwork.
  • Double or Triple Mats: Layered mats that add richness and dimension.
  • Textured Mats: Linen, suede, or fabric finishes for an elevated tactile feel.
  • Custom-Cut Mats: Precision cut for unique shapes, collages, or oversized pieces.

Our design experts will help you choose the perfect combination to complement your artwork and décor.

4. Selecting Glass or Glazing

The right glass protects your piece while maintaining clarity and brilliance. At 707 Gallery NJ - Shore To Score, we offer multiple glazing options:

  • Regular Glass: Affordable and clear protection for everyday pieces.
  • UV-Protective Glass: Shields artwork from harmful rays that cause fading.
  • Non-Glare Glass: Ideal for brightly lit rooms to reduce reflections.
  • Museum Glass: The gold standard—virtually invisible with 99% UV protection.
  • Acrylic (Plexiglass): Lightweight and shatter-resistant, perfect for large or mobile displays.

Each option balances protection, clarity, and cost based on your unique needs.

5. Mounting and Assembly

Our framers use archival mounting methods that safeguard your items without causing damage. From photographs to textiles, everything is handled with precision and care.

For 3D displays—like sports memorabilia, medals, or keepsakes—we offer custom shadowbox framing, designed to create dynamic depth and visual interest.

6. Finishing Touches

Every frame is completed with backing, hanging hardware, and protective finishes. We ensure that when you receive your piece, it’s ready to hang, admire, and enjoy.

7. Delivery or Pickup

Local clients across the area can stop in and pickup directly, or we can ship.

Nationwide clients can shop and ship directly through our online store for convenience and reliability.
