What Are Box Frames?

What exactly are box frames? Does the frame itself lay flush against the glass? Or is it raised? Thanks for your help!

Thanks but the link provided shows “Shadow Box” Frames. Is this the same as a “Box” Frame?

The link also gives you a link to “Box Frames”. Now go back and look at all the links provided by my Google search. 8-)

Ok yes Dennis, I see it now. So it looks like Box Frames are raised up and are not tradtional frames, correct. ?

Hmmm, that’s not my impression. I assume you are talking about the RedBubble framed prints? On the “buy/preview” page for any RedBubble framed print product, you can see a little explanation: flat frames are 30mm wide and 20mm deep, while box frames are 20mm wide but 40mm deep. In both cases, the glass is flush with the frame (at least I assume so), so it’s really just a difference in proportions.

Hope this helps, cheers, prbimages :-)

Thanks PRB Images but I am still a bit confused. I thought Box Frames were not flush with the glass. Although the RB 20×30mm flat frames are flush, I am still unsure about the RB 20×40mm box frames. So my question remains:

Is the RB 20×40mm Box Frame also flush with the glass?

I have some clients asking so thanks for anyone’s help in answering this.

I have ordered box frames & yes, they sit flush with the glass. The back of the frame is deeper. They look lovely!
