Where to buy wooden box frames?

[bomberman]

Hi i'm after some black box frames to fit 8x12 prints. My "friend" has a print shop and wants to sell me one for £20! I'm sure one of you knows where to get them cheaper.

I'm after the kind that you get when you buy a print from getty or photobox etc, just a plain black wooden box frame, like this:

That pic is not my understanding of what a box frame is - this is a box frame http://www.frames4photographers.com/bframes_start.php

Your pic is a regular mount and frame from what I can make out... I'd just get one made at the local framers. Costs between £10 & £20 for something basic.

These are Ikea ones. The prints in them are 12x8's, and barely leave any edges hidden. Especially along the long side.

The frames are about an inch deep.

Apologies for the crappy iPhone pic.

Oli they're exactly what i'm after. How much did you pay for them? I'm not uite sure what you're saying about the edges but do they come with mounts?

Going from memory, they're about £8, and yeah, they come with the mounts. What I mean is, they're nigh on the perfect size. When you've positioned the print behind the mount, you only lose a fraction of the picture.

These are the Ribba range, and you can get white finish, and , er, silver or wooden finish? Can't quite remember.

Ah. Here they are...

I also use them for my 15x10's, although you do end up losing a bit more of the picture lengthways.
