Collingwood has always had an eye for things done well. At The Picture Factory, picture framing Collingwood locals count on starts with the same thing every time: care, quality materials, and a genuine interest in getting it right.

Whether you’re a local artist ready to display your own work or someone who’s finally found the right wall for a piece they’ve been holding onto, we’re here to help.

Collingwood Picture Framing Specialists

We’ve been framing for Melbourne locals since 1991. When you visit our frame shop in Collingwood, you’ll deal with framers who know their craft, not a sales floor. We take the time to understand what you’re working with and what matters to you, then find the right solution.

Every customer walks away with:

  • Custom-Made Frames to Fit: No two pieces are the same, so no two frames should be either. We build each frame to fit your artwork, photo, or object exactly.
  • Conservation-Grade Materials: Archival matboard, premium timber and aluminium mouldings, and UV-protective glass, chosen to protect your piece rather than just display it.
  • Practical, Honest Advice: We’ll tell you what works and why. Frame style, mat selection, and glazing. We break it all down without the overwhelm.

Why Choose Picture Framers Near Collingwood?

The difference between a good frame and a great one lies in the details. Materials that don’t off-gas. Glass that doesn’t reflect half the room. A mat that doesn’t fight the artwork. These things matter, and they’re not always obvious, but they show up over time.

We’ve been the go-to for framing Collingwood locals have relied on for over 30 years, and that reputation is built on getting those details right every time. Contact us today to find out what we can do for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every frame we build is custom, cut and assembled specifically for your piece. We don't carry off-the-shelf options because we don't think they're good enough.

Yes. We work with stretched canvases, unstretched works on paper, and everything in between. If your canvas needs re-stretching before framing, we can handle that too.

It depends on the piece and the room. For most artworks and photographs, we recommend UV-protective glass to prevent fading. In rooms with strong natural light, anti-reflective glass makes a noticeable difference.

Most jobs are completed and ready for pickup within 1 to 2 weeks. If you're working to a deadline, a birthday, a house move, or a gift, let us know upfront, and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Shadow boxes are a big part of what we do. Medals, jerseys, trophies, collectibles. If it won't sit flat in a standard frame, a shadow box is the solution.
