Still looking for a good photo / picture framing store

Hi guys
Anyone have any cheap reliable and preferable reasonably priced framing shops they like to go to?
Holland / Clementi preferred! Thanks.

there is no cheap or economy priced on custom framing, usually the frame + service cost many times more than the photo print itself.
eg, one 8R photo cost less then $5, custom framing will cost somewhere $20-$50 depends on type of frame profile, matting, glass or Canvas finishing.

a large size photo like 16x20 can cost hundreds over.

You can check out Indian Framing Shops along Joo Chiat Road, Jalan Besar, and Little India, usually they are slightly lower price than regular framing galleries.

if you want even cheaper, just buy standard size ready-stock photo frames from mini lab or popular bookstore or IKEA.


hope this help.

how about online stores? I have not tried any personally but have researched on them...

Society6 | Affordable Art Prints, iPhone Cases and T-shirts seems to be the only one that ships to SG.

Hope this helps

Hmm, I think TS is looking for a shop that does photo/picture framing, not the print.

They claim to have lower prices. No harm asking for quotes. Let us know if you do.

1)Superior Value and Pricing (Why are you paying more than you should?)
Firstly, we understand your concerns.... You want SUPERIOR service at LOWEST prices. I will explain in a while why we can offer superior value at bottom-rock prices compared to other framing shops in Singapore. You see, there are different types of frame shops locally. Some are located in Holland Village, Thomson, River Valley, Chinatown, and other CBD Areas. The rent for these frame shops there are not exactly low.....

So what happens to the prices quoted to you? They get inflated beyond normal comprehension! A framing job that is offered for $85 here, may be quoted at DOUBLE that in these other CBD frame shops.....

All because they want YOU, as the consumer, to SUBSIDISE their monthly overheads and rent.

Recently someone recommended me this frame maker,

Jin Jin Frames & Trading
B1004 Toa Payoh North, #07-10, Singapore 318995

Ah Lye, 9060 0413

Friendly service and reasonable price.

He has vacuum press and using that to do laminating, which very hard to find in most frame makers.

if you have no idea what am I talking, see this video
