Recessed Acrylic Box Frame
Acrylic picture frame with built-in spacer
Recessed acrylic box frames are, no-worry picture frames, with a built-in 3/8” spacer. Framers appreciate the simplicity of these frames, as art packages fit easily and just need to be screwed in place.

Do you know the dimension you need?
- Our frames are ordered by inside dimension (ID) – basically, the size of the art. We automatically give the frame a 1/16” tolerance, unless you request otherwise.
- Acrylic box frames are frequently used with fabric-wrapped strainers which may make a larger tolerance necessary.
Have you considered screw hole placement?
Standard hole placement is 3/8” from the back edge of the frame to match our standard 3/4” x 1 3/8” poplar strainers. Custom hole placement is available upon request.
