Golden State Art 12x16 Gold Picture Frame for 8.5x11 Photos — 3-Pack, Removable Mat & Plexiglass

Golden State Art's 12x16 gold picture frame with removable mat is a lightweight, durable plastic frame that displays 11x8.5 photos neatly behind high-definition plexiglass.

Whether you're mounting prints, certificates or family photos, this three-pack of gold-finish frames pairs an elegant look with everyday practicality. The frames accept a full 12x16 artwork without the mat or a standard 8.5x11 photo when the included mat is used. Made from upgraded scratch-resistant plastic and clear plexiglass, these frames reduce weight and shatter risk compared with glass while keeping images sharp and protected.

How does the mat and opening size affect what I can frame?

The included mat lets you present an 8.5x11 photo with a clean gold border, while the full frame space fits up to a 12x16 print when the mat is removed. Note that the mat and window opening are intentionally cut slightly smaller than the listed photo size so prints stay held in place without slipping.

• With mat: holds 8.5x11 portrait or landscape securely.
• Without mat: fits up to 12x16 artwork or poster.
• Window slightly smaller than nominal size to prevent movement.
• Always measure artwork before trimming or mounting.

How easy is installation and hanging?

The back uses a spring-action fastener that opens for quick photo loading and closes securely to hold the contents. Each frame includes two sturdy hangers so you can choose vertical or horizontal display, and the frame's light weight makes single-person installation fast and straightforward.

• Spring-type backing for fast picture changes.
• Two hangers included for vertical or horizontal mounting.
• Light plastic frame reduces need for heavy anchors.
• Recommended to peel protective film from both sides of plexiglass before use.

What materials protect the photo and how durable is the frame?

Golden State Art uses an upgraded plastic frame body and high-definition plexiglass cover instead of traditional glass. This combination is scratch-resistant, lighter to handle, and reduces breakage risk, making it suitable for busy homes, classrooms, studios, or galleries where ease of handling matters.

• Upgraded plastic frame resists scratches and chips.
• Plexiglass cover gives clear viewing and better impact resistance than glass.
• Protective films applied to both sides — remove before final display.
• Durable corners and edges for repeated picture changes.

Who is this for?

These frames are ideal for anyone who wants the look of a classic gold frame without the weight and fragility of glass — home decorators, photographers displaying proofs, students framing certificates, or gift-givers assembling personalized presents. The three-pack offers value for multi-photo galleries, office corridors, classrooms, or to coordinate a series of images. If you need a lightweight, attractive, and low-maintenance framing option that accepts standard 8.5x11 prints with matting and larger 12x16 pieces without it, this Golden State Art set delivers practical protection and a polished finish.
