Box Frame Specialists in South Africa

Preserve your memories with museum-quality custom box frames

At Frame2Frame — proud box frame specialists based in Pretoria — we turn jerseys, medals, keepsakes and three-dimensional artwork into secure, display-ready pieces that last generations. Our custom box frames (also called shadow boxes) combine conservation-grade materials with meticulous craftsmanship for an elegant, gallery finish.

 

Why choose a box frame?

Box frames are specially designed for items that need depth or separation from glass. Unlike flat frames, they protect 3D objects from dust, moisture and direct contact while creating a powerful visual display.

Perfect for:

  • Sports jerseys, medals, trophies and team memorabilia
  • Baby clothes, first shoes, wedding keepsakes and heirlooms
  • Collectibles, model items and travel souvenirs
  • Artwork that must be spaced from the glass (mixed media / relief work)

Benefits:

  • Conservation-grade, acid-free mounts to prevent deterioration
  • UV-filtering and non-reflective glazing options to reduce fading
  • Custom depths (from 20mm up to 200mm+) to suit any object
  • Secure, discreet fixing methods for fragile items
