INTRODUCTION
Welcome to GB eye’s frame catalogue. GB eye have been producing frames in-house for over three years now, the success has been fantastic and has resulted in GB eye opening a standalone frame manufacturing facility to cope with demand and ensures in-time order fulfilment continues.
What we do GB eye offer a wide range of standard sizes to complement our posters and prints as well as industry standard options. We pride ourselves on offering robust, value for money frames by using quality materials and highly efficient manufacturing processes. Key elements of our standard range include:
• All our frames are manufactured in the UK at GB eye Ltd • Quality MDF moulding with a full paper wrap • A choice of black, silver, white, oak and beech • 30mm and 40mm moulding • Shatter-proof styrene with peelable protective skin • Secure metal fixings for easy hanging • 4 protective corners and shrink-wrap • Fast and reliable delivery • Ready to hand product available Our packaging has been developed to ensure our products arrive at your door in pristine condition; the heavy duty corners and specifically designed boxes protect all areas of the frame while our high quality shrink wrap ensures in-store damages are avoided. Our flexible approach means we are happy to work with our customers on contract framing or specific requests they may have. We are able to produce bespoke sizes and incorporate a wide range of materials depending on specific requirements. Our product development and production teams are able to manage a variety of budgets and volumes to provide workable solutions no matter how big or small.
How We Do It All of GB eye’s frames are produced in a standalone manufacturing facility located less than a mile from our Head Office in Sheffield. The 13,000 sq ft facility houses state of the art machinery; a full production line featuring an automated saw, under-pinners, tab robot and in-line shrink-wrapping equipment. Investment in such a facility allows us to manufacture in an efficient and time effective manner, providing a seamless and reliable service for our customers. Tight quality control of raw materials and finished products is essential for the delivery of quality, value for money products, on time, every time. The facility also houses a storage area for our contract customers, allowing us to pre-plan and produce goods for short notice call off, meaning customers can react to their market demands quickly without over-stocking or over-committing.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“These frames are good value for money and packed very well. We sold hundreds and I do not recall any complaint – neither regarding the import from the UK nor from customers to which we send them out by parcel service. Great deal!” Close-Up (Germany) “Our company have been doing business with GB eye for more than 10 years now. Starting with posters, we expanded our range of GB eye’s products to nearly everything they offer. When they started to offer in-house produced frames, the competition was tough: plastic frames from the Far East were offered to us from a lot of suppliers. But amazingly they managed to offer a very sophisticated range of UK-made MDF frames at competitive prices. The GB frames stand out because one can emphasise the value for money, look and feel of the product and the fact that everything is made in the UK. In a nutshell , GB proved that you can deliver the better product without being more expensive.” Empire (Germany) “I’d like to thank you for producing your top-notch line of wood frames and for being able to supply them for such a reasonable price. The profile of the moulding is clean, modern and versatile; the quality of the finished product is excellent and the packaging is everything I would expect from a professional manufacturer. But, what makes it all work for us and for our end user, the Canadian student, is the price point. Until this line of wood frames came along, we were only able to succeed with a line of low-end plastic ‘poster frames’. Now we are also able to provide our customers with a high-end frame that perfectly complements your line of prints and lenticulars.” Imaginus (Canada) “My customers love them! Really easy to handle, not so heavy, and good looking. Especially because they are made from wood. People are interested in natural things rather than plastic. At the beginning we tried the plastic frames, but they are much worse, and there were a lot of problems with them. The most popular colour is black.” E-dekor (Hungary) “We are very satisfied with the frames from GB. We have never received any complaints from our customers and we have sold a lot of frames already. And also important, the margin is good! We order all the frames shrinkwrapped, this prevents the frame from scratching and when our customer receives the frame, the total picture is good.” Posters.nl (Holland) “GB eye Ltd delivers a good quality frame, always looking the same, very nicely packed and also carefully shipped.” EXQ (Denmark)
