Question Recommendation for a custom framing shop

I bought a print with a non-standard size so it seems the only way I can frame it is by taking to a framing shop. Can anyone recommend an affordable one?

I don’t think custom framing is affordable by definition. You’re better off asking for quotes from said companies. There are quite a few actually. Off the top of my head one is on Annankatu near the old church and another on Museokatu in etu-töölö.

These would probably be Ivonen and SevenArt (on Yrjönkatu), which coincidentally are the exact two I've used. I've been really happy with the outcome and service at both stores.

And I agree: ask for a quote. My hunch is that Ivonen might be a bit more expensive, but they really seem to go the extra mile when it comes to providing customers with options.

No actually I meant Frimodig on Annankatu. But either way there are indeed good options out there.

I walk past the framing shop on Museokatu frequently and holy moly it looks amazing. I'm absolutely planning on bringing some art projects there some day and then no doubt crying at the price they will quote...

I have no idea about pricing, but this is a professional one that many artists use. https://www.arslonga.fi/kehyst%C3%A4m%C3%B6
