Shop sticker?

[Mikki Kavich MCPF]

DO you put your name on the back of "fix-up" my frame pieces?
Replace glass...Wal Mart frame?

I don't and more than half the time they will ask "where is the sticker?"

 

[Gregory K. Norris CPF]

I had my last batch made a little larger to allow room for me to write in what we actually did. These folks who want the sticker on work we didn't create can have it, but only with the comments about "replaced mat" etc & the date. I don't think they are much fooling anybody with these cheap frames, but so be it. If it is particularly trashy, I won't anything on it.

Mostly when customers bring in their own frame, I do not put my sticker on the back.
Exceptions are antique frames, such as oak or ornate. Nobody ever complained about missing stickers touch wood.

I put my sticker on everything, I call it part of the works provenance, that and I want to be the person the bring it back to when the glass breaks.

Great attitude, Randy!

typically we would normally add our sticker if the reused components match our level of professional workmanship. So it if is already matted and mounted properly and they purchased a new moulding....our sticker would be used.

We allow our fitters that final decision. Obviously if the matting has really bad overcuts, we would not want potential customers thinking that this is our level of acceptance and quality.

What you wrote makes sense Randy.
If the reframed picture has a sticker on it from a previous framer, then adding my own does no harm and indicates provenance.

Otherwise a separate sticker can be used stating :
Reframed by ..... using existing materials.

I will not put my sticker on anything that I haven't done the complete job. I just don't feel it is right and I don't want anyone, including the courts, to assume that I did the complete frame job if something did go wrong. Also, no matter how well we inspect someone else's work there is always that small possibility we missed a problem area. If that is the case I do not want to be associated with poor work or workmanship. Joe

My sticker goes only on complete jobs. I have a rubber stamp I can use on partial jobs and can note what was done. I don't mind the marketing aspect of including your information with each job, I just don't want any branding on something I didn't do entirely.

 

[Robin Gentry MCPF]

We usually do put a sticker on everything. There are a few exceptions, sometimes people only want the paper replaced so we won't then. If there is a previous sticker we save it, put it back on and add our sticker. I'm like Randy I want them to come back to me if something happens.

On our stickers we write the work order number and I have people very happy with that info when they are trying to match something.

FYI, I don't remove any other shop or gallery info or try to take credit, I just add to it. The next framer can figure it out. Like everyone if it's a real dog, I leave it alone.

We only put our name on jobs we did from start to finish.
