Designing Shadow Box Frames
Technically, any type of frame offering space between the art and the glass could be considered a shadow box frame. However, shadow box frames are typically at least 1 inch deep, and can be as deep as they need to be to accommodate your item. At Allan Jeffries Framing, we offer both traditional shadow box frames that look like extra-deep picture frames and clear acrylic boxes. The advantage of an acrylic box is it provides side and top views of the item as well as a front view. One important factor in designing a shadow box frame is the color and look of the backdrop. One popular choice for the backing is a handwrapped fabric mat that adds rich texture to the shadow box frame. The color and style of the frame on the box will also affect the overall look of your shadow box.
