Best for

Choose custom photo frames if your moment is milestone and service awards, launch night and event photography or graduation and alumni gifting.

Milestone and service awards

Engraved timber or brushed aluminium frames with a printed certificate insert — the piece that stays on the desk long after the company-wide email fades. Pair with a handwritten card for the register to land warmly.

Launch night and event photography

Acrylic frames with a printed event image delivered two weeks after the night — the thank-you that turns a guest into an advocate. We kit, personalise and split-ship to home addresses.

Graduation and alumni gifting

A5 timber frames with a laser-engraved crest and year — universities reorder these every November, often in runs of 500-2,000 across multiple faculties.

VIP and board-level thank-yous

Leather-wrapped or brass-trimmed frames with tone-on-tone deboss, boxed in branded tissue — the kind of gift that earns a photograph on LinkedIn without being asked.

Retail gift-with-purchase and hospitality

Small acrylic or bamboo frames paired with a signature product — boutique hotels and independent fashion houses use these for loyalty moments and in-room welcome gestures.

We commissioned engraved timber frames for our ten-year service awards and the recipients were genuinely moved — several sent photographs of them on their desks weeks later. The Sense2 team understood the register we wanted beautifully, and delivery was a few days ahead of when we needed them.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the material — that's the part we enjoy most about a frame brief. A service-award frame carries a different weight to a launch-night thank-you, and the material should follow. For milestone and legacy gifts, sustainably-sourced timber with a laser-engraved plaque reads warm and considered; the grain becomes part of the story. For contemporary brands and tech audiences, brushed aluminium or acrylic with a UV-printed colour block feels design-forward and photographs beautifully for social. For premium client moments, leather-wrapped or brass-trimmed frames signal permanence — the register every creative director recognises. Branding method matters as much as material. Laser engraving on timber and metal is the most elegant finish — tone-on-tone, tactile, never dated. Pad print and screen print work beautifully on acrylic and painted timber when the brief calls for a campaign colour. Full-colour UV print handles complex logos, gradients and photography-style imagery on acrylic and metal; it's the method to choose when the brand system is illustrative rather than typographic. Debossed leather inlays add a boardroom register for VIP runs. On size: 4x6" and 5x7" are the workhorse formats for desk and shelf; 8x10" and A4 suit certificates, service awards and framed event photography. Custom sizes open up from 100 units. If the frame is paired with a printed photograph or certificate, spec the insert at the artwork stage — we print, mount and assemble in-house so the gift arrives ready to open, not ready to assemble. MOQ sits at 25-100 for most stocked styles; custom-milled timber and leather-wrapped runs start at 100-250. Lead times are 10-15 business days standard, with 5-7 day express on stocked lines when the brief lands late. Always request a sample first — the weight, the finish and the engraving depth are decisions best made in the hand, not on the spec sheet. Forty-eight hours from request to your desk. Fast can still feel thoughtful — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 50 units with a laser-engraved logo, an acrylic 5x7" frame sits around AU$8-$16, a timber 5x7" around AU$14-$28, a brushed aluminium frame AU$22-$42, and a leather-wrapped or brass-trimmed premium frame AU$45-$95. Digital photo frames with branded bezels start at AU$65-$140. At 250 units those drop 20-35%. UV full-colour print adds AU$2-$5 per unit. Setup is AU$55-$110 for engraving or print plate, once-off. Gift boxing and tissue-wrap add AU$3-$8 per unit.

Delivery across Australia

Delivered Australia-wide in 10-15 business days standard — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra daily. Express 5-7 days available on stocked timber, acrylic and metal frames. Free shipping on orders over AU$500. We kit, personalise with individual recipient names, split-ship to home addresses or multiple state offices, and run timed-release dispatch for award nights and launch windows at no extra handling.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom photo frames?

Most stocked frame styles start at 25-100 units, with acrylic and small timber formats available from 25 on pilot runs. Custom-milled timber, leather-wrapped and brass-trimmed premium frames start at 100-250. For larger briefs (500+), expect 20-35% off the 50-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 50, 100, 250 and 500.

How long do branded photo frames take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork approval. Express 5-7 days is available on stocked acrylic, timber and metal lines for late briefs. Custom-milled timber and leather-wrapped runs typically need 15-20 business days. For award nights we run timed-release dispatch so the frames arrive the day before, beautifully boxed.

What branding methods work best on photo frames?

Laser engraving is the most elegant finish on timber and metal — tone-on-tone, tactile and never dated. Pad print and screen print suit acrylic and painted timber when you need a campaign colour. Full-colour UV print handles complex logos, gradients and photography-style artwork. Leather-wrapped frames take deboss beautifully for a boardroom register.

Can I see a sample of a photo frame before I order?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual engraving or print artwork are available on runs of 50+. After 30 years of gift briefs, we know the weight, grain and engraving depth are what people decide on — never the spec sheet alone.

Do you offer eco-friendly and sustainable photo frame options?

Yes. Our eco frame range includes FSC-certified timber, bamboo, recycled paper pulp composites and aluminium with high recycled content. Packaging steps down to recycled kraft boxes, tissue and paper tape. FSC and chain-of-custody documentation is available on request for government and tertiary briefs.

Can you kit, personalise and ship frames directly to recipients?

Yes — we kit, personalise with individual recipient names via engraving or printed insert cards, and split-ship to home addresses, multiple state offices or event venues. Gift boxing, tissue-wrap and handwritten cards are all handled in-house. Timed-release dispatch is standard for award nights and launch windows, at no extra handling fee.
