We provide a framing service for all print types to all other territories we ship to.

You will have the option to add a frame when ordering the star map.

If you prefer to contact us to add a frame after you have placed the order, email us at [email protected] with the order number immediately after you have placed the order, with the request to add a frame. We will then send you a PayPal payment request to pay for the framing service. Once payment is complete and you send us a screenshot of the proof of payment, we will add the frame to the order so that you will receive a framed print.

If you prefer to frame it yourself here's what you need to know:

In the USA, Canada, and Mexico:

We offer these sizes: 12x12 inches, 12x16 inches, 16x16 inches, 18 x 24 inches or 24x32 inches; we also offer canvas options in the same sizes.

The print is on museum-grade, art matte, acid-free paper and printed using archival ink. The print is designed to fit a frame of its size, However, if you want to go for a mat surround go for a frame 4 inches larger all around with a 2-inch mat.

Amazon have endless choices and a lot of people recommend Target, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. If you're looking for something special then your local framing store should be able to help.

In Australia and New Zealand:

You have a choice of 19.7 x 27.5 inches/50x70cm. 12x12inches / 30.48x30.48cm, 12x16inches / 30.48x40.64cm, 16x16inches/40.64x40.64cm, or 24x32โ€/60.96x81.28. We offer canvas options in the same sizes.

The print will fit a frame of its size. If you want a mat surround go for a 10 cm/4 inch all round larger frame with a 2 inch/5cm mat.

https://www.framesnow.com.au/night-sky-frames/ should have frames to fit, they don't ship to New Zealand though.

Profile Products Australia, also has suitable frames :- https://profileproducts.com.au/collections/night-sky-frames

Amazon has endless choices. Try https://www.frameshop.com.au/photo-frames/ or https://www.framesnow.com.au/product-category/frames/?filter_size-cm=61-x-45-7-cm&query_type_size-cm=or If you're looking for something special then your local framing store should be able to help.

***Unfortunately, we don't have a framing service for Foil and Glow in The dark New Zealand or Australian orders. The UK lab is the only one of our print labs with the technology to print foils and Glow In The Dark, and posting a framed print to Australia would cost way too much. Really sorry we can't accommodate you.

For the UK, Europe, and the Rest of the World:

We offer three sizes: 30x30cm 30x40cm, 40x40cm, 50x70cm, and 60x80cm. We also offer canvases in the same size options.

If you prefer to frame the print yourself the same size frame will work. If you want a mat surround go for a frame 10cm all round larger frame with a 5 cm mat.

IKEA is the most recommended store for Frames and they have good options for matting. Their Virserum frame is 61x91cm and has a mat surround and looks really gorgeous with the star map. You can also try https://www.frames.co.uk/smart-search/50/70/cm/Most%20Popular/Single%20Mount/Smooth%20White/Black.

Amazon has endless choices also.

If you're looking for something special then we always recommend your local framing store.

Hope this helps!
