The contemporary profile of the Blick Hudson Photo Frame complements your artwork with its smart, clean look and feel. Ideal for almost any media but especially designed for photos, this frame's environmentally conscious polystyrene composition helps set your artwork apart from the crowd.

Every frame includes a non-archival mat, a backing board, and a styrene face. Made from 70–80% recycled material, the Hudson is available in a variety of sizes and in two finishes — Black and Pewter. It features an understated 1" wide molding, ideal for individual displays or groupings.

A lower-cost alternative to wood frames, Blick's revolutionary new polystyrene frames are lightweight, durable, and available in a variety of profiles and styles that complement your artwork without overpowering it. Made of extruded polystyrene that contains 70-80% recycled material, every frame is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful and functional.

Blick polystyrene frames consist of an extruded polymer core onto which a hot foil finish is applied. Sophisticated manufacturing processes give the frame moldings several advantages over similar wood moldings, including a lower price and higher quality. Comprised of three elements — the Core, the Skin, and the Finish — these frames offer superb consistency of quality and style, all at a value price.

The Core — The Core is made from extruded foamed polymer that is derived from approximately 70–80% recycled material and 20–30% virgin material. The recycled element is derived primarily from two sources, the electronics industry (using computer casings and other products) and the food packaging industry. Special additives offer a balance of elasticity and rigidity that allows for easy joining, yet gives strength to the frame. All excess polymer material is recycled back into the production process.

The Skin — Only virgin polymer granules are used to create a very smooth, hard outer surface onto which hot stamping foil is applied.

The Finish — Hot stamping foils are applied to the smooth, hard outer skin. Sometimes several different foils are used on a single molding, or grain and textured patterns are embossed into the surface by gently heating the skin.
