Core offering

Lasermark Ltd (trading as Studio Picture Framing) provides handcrafted, made-to-order bespoke picture framing services from its West Sussex studio. Core work covers pre-finished wood and aluminium frame mouldings and custom hand-finished barewood profiles, complemented by mounting, glazing, conservation framing, and laser engraving personalisation on wood, glass, mirror, plastics, acrylic, card, leather, and slate.

Product overview

Studio Picture Framing (formerly Lasermark Ltd) operates as a single-location bespoke picture framing service rather than a software platform. The core offering centres on handcrafted picture frames made to order, with two main product lines: Pre-finished Frames (high-quality wood and aluminium mouldings from major suppliers) and Hand Finished Frames (custom barewood profiles with various timber finishes). These frames are complemented by specialized services including Conventional Framing, Box Framing (3D/shadow framing), Tray Framing (floating frames), Glazing Services, Mounting & Display, Conservation Framing, and Laser Engraving. The company also offers targeted services for specific customer segments including Commercial Picture Framing, Gallery Framing, and Artist Framing, as well as a Consultancy Service for expert guidance on framing solutions. All work is handcrafted by a team with over 65 years of combined experience.

Emerging players

• Framebridge: US-based direct-to-consumer custom framing company that has scaled the bespoke framing category through online ordering and mail-in service. Comparable to Studio Picture Framing in offering custom frames for art and memorabilia, though it competes through digital convenience rather than in-person consultancy.
• Simply Framed: Online-first custom framing service offering curated frame styles and designer-led aesthetics. Comparable in producing made-to-order frames for art, photography, and posters, but operates at a higher volume and design-forward positioning versus Studio Picture Framing's craft-led bespoke model.
• Truprint: UK photo printing and framing service offering prints, canvases, and frames online. Comparable in serving the consumer framing segment for photos and prints, but primarily a digital, mass-market model rather than a craft-led bespoke service.

Direct peers

• John Hanna Artist & Framing: Long-established UK bespoke framing business serving artists, galleries, and collectors with custom mounts and conservation framing. Comparable in craft-led positioning, conservation-grade materials, and gallery/artist customer base.
• Acer Art Picture Framing: UK-based custom picture framing specialist offering handmade frames to artists, photographers, and individuals. Directly comparable to Studio Picture Framing in bespoke in-person service model, material selection, and craftsmanship focus.
• Frame Express: UK-based online and trade picture framing supplier offering made-to-measure frames with postal service. Comparable custom framing offering, though competes more on price and convenience than on consultancy-led bespoke service.
• Picture Framing Company: UK-based custom picture framing service offering bespoke frames, mounting, and glazing to individuals and trade customers. Comparable service mix and target customer segments to Studio Picture Framing.
• Persimmon Framing: UK bespoke framing trades supplier offering custom-made frames, mounts, and glazing to framers and the public. Comparable product breadth and custom framing services for consumers and trade clients.

Broad incumbents

• King & McGaw: UK-based art reproduction and framing company with extensive catalogue of artist-licensed prints and bespoke framing options. Comparable in serving galleries, artists, and corporate clients with custom framing, though at much larger scale and with a broader art retail proposition.

Regional players

• The Laser Engraving Workshop: UK-based laser engraving service offering custom engraving on a wide range of materials including wood, glass, and acrylic. Comparable to the laser engraving service line of Studio Picture Framing, though without the framing bundling.
