To further enhance our framing techniques, Artmen has joined the Fine Art Trade Guild in the UK to exchange framing techniques between Hong Kong and Europe. The company's founder, Mr. Kenneth Ko, has also been certified by the Guild, obtaining the qualification of a Senior Professional Framer.

Artmen uses high-quality framing materials, including Crescent Select and RagMat®️ from the United States, which are conservation-grade, lignin-free matboards. These materials are suitable for special edition collections, any flat artworks, and even three-dimensional collections such as garments and antiques, ensuring that your artworks remain in perfect condition at all times.

To ensure the safety of your artworks, each RagMat®️ museum-grade matboard is made from 100% cotton, free of acids and lignin, with a pH range of 8.5-9.5. The colors are uniform, and the surface is especially suitable for framing. RagMat®️ museum-grade products meet all the stringent standards of the Library of Congress, Fine Art Trade Guild, PPFA, and other authoritative institutions.

Artmen uses premium aluminum frames from Nielsen Brainbridge in the United States, available in a variety of colors and styles.
