NESBA Framing Guidelines

NESBA standards for framing, unless otherwise indicated, call for:

• Hangers should be D-rings or screw eyes — no sawtooth hangers. D-rings should be placed 3-4 inches from the top of your work depending on it’s size. Make sure the wire will not show above the frame when hanging.

• Work should be framed with Plexiglass - no glass. If you are re-using a frame, inspect the Plexiglass for scratches and dust. Click here for Plexiglass cleaning tips.

• White or off-white mats

• Simple, light , medium or gold wood frames (see examples below) — no metal frames
