General Questions
What are framed video games, and why are they popular?
Framed video games are a unique way to display and preserve your favourite titles. Instead of leaving your games in storage or on shelves, framing transforms them into eye-catching pieces of art for your home or gaming space. They’ve become popular because they celebrate nostalgia and personal milestones while offering a professional, polished look.
Why should I display my physical games or movies instead of storing them?
Displaying your games or movies allows you to share your passion in a way that’s both stylish and practical. Frames elevate these items into conversation pieces while protecting them from wear and tear. Instead of being hidden in storage, your collection can take centre stage, adding personality to your space.
What makes framing video games or movies a good choice for collectors?
Collectors understand the importance of preserving their prized items. Framing offers a dual benefit: it protects valuable games and movies from damage, like fading or scratches, and it enhances their visual appeal. A well-framed piece can highlight a rare or sentimental item, turning it into a centrepiece that’s both protected and admired.
Product-Related Questions
How does framing my game or movie protect it from damage?
Framing protects your media in three key ways:
-
UV Protection: Prevents sunlight from fading the cover art. Find out more
-
Dust and Moisture Resistance: Keeps items sealed and safe from particles and humidity.
-
Physical Safeguarding: Protects against scratches or accidental damage. Each frame is designed to preserve your game or movie in pristine condition for years.
What is UV protection, and how does it benefit my framed items?
UV protection is a feature in high-quality frames that prevents sunlight from fading your games or movie covers over time. Think of it like sunscreen for your collection—it keeps colours vibrant and materials intact, ensuring your display looks as good in the future as it does today.
Can I personalise my frame?
Absolutely! Our frames are designed to reflect your unique style. You can select from different frame colours, printed backgrounds, and even add personal touches like custom text or logos. Whether you want to match your gaming setup or highlight a specific title, personalising your frame makes it truly your own.
Do your frames include printed backgrounds?
Yes, our frames can include printed backgrounds to complement the game or movie being displayed. Whether it’s artwork from the title itself, a themed backdrop, or a custom design, printed backgrounds add an extra layer of personality and make your framed item stand out even more.
What customisation options do you offer for framing?
We offer a wide range of customisation options, including frame colours, sizes, and printed backgrounds. You can also add personal touches like custom text, logos, or bespoke designs. If you have a specific vision for your display, we’ll work with you to bring it to life.
How do you secure games and movies inside your frames?
We offer two secure options for framing your games and movies:
-
Magnetic Mounting: This method uses strong magnets to hold your media safely in place, creating a sleek, "floating" effect within the frame. It’s perfect for showcasing your items with a clean, minimalist look.
-
Protective Slipcase: For enhanced protection, we use a transparent plastic slipcase to encase your game or movie. While this provides additional safeguarding, it adds a reflective surface that may slightly affect visibility depending on the lighting.
Practical Questions
How do I choose the right frame size for my game or movie?
Choosing the right frame size depends on the dimensions of the item you want to display. For standard cases, we offer frames tailored to fit popular game and movie formats. If you’re framing a special edition or unique item, we also provide custom sizing to ensure a perfect fit.
Can I frame older or rare games with special considerations?
Absolutely. Older or rare games often require extra care, and our frames are designed with preservation in mind. With options like UV-protected glass and acid-free materials, you can be confident that your cherished items are displayed safely while being protected from potential damage.
How do I mount a framed game or movie on the wall safely?
Our frames are designed for easy and secure wall mounting. Each frame comes with a hanging kit that includes sturdy hardware to ensure stability. For best results, choose a location away from direct sunlight and high humidity to keep your display in top condition.
What is the ordering process for custom frames?
Ordering a custom frame is simple. Start by selecting your frame size and style, then choose any customisation options, like printed backgrounds or text.
