16x16 inch Picture Frame with 12x12 Removable Mat - Gold 5 Pack

Our review of the 16x16 inch Picture Frame pack finds these frames best suited to anyone who wants an affordable, lightweight way to display square prints or artwork. The single biggest reason to buy is practicality: each frame accepts either a 16x16 print or a 12x12 print using the included white mat, so you get flexible display options in one simple package. The frames feel light but finished, use polished polycarbonate in front for clear viewing, and come with hanging hardware and secure packaging for safe delivery.

Key Features

• Dual size display: The removable white mat with an 11.5x11.5 opening fits 12x12 artwork while the frame itself holds 16x16 pieces without the mat, giving two display options in one frame.
• Lightweight construction: Made from environmentally friendly plastic, the frames are easy to move and hang, ideal for frequent redecoration or large gallery walls.
• Clear viewing surface: A polished polycarbonate board front provides a clear, glass-like view of photos while avoiding the breakability of real glass.
• Moisture-proof backing: The moisture-resistant backplane helps protect stored photos and prints in humid rooms like kitchens or bathrooms.
• Secure wall mounting: Hanging hardware is included and allows both vertical and horizontal display to maximize wall space.
• Careful packing: Each frame is shrink-wrapped with corner protectors and packed in reinforced corrugated boxes to reduce transit damage.

Who It's For

These frames are a good fit for renters, crafters, and anyone creating a gallery wall on a budget who needs a lightweight alternative to glass frames. Photographers or artists who frequently swap prints will appreciate the removable mat and ease of hanging.

People who need premium hardwood or metal framing, very heavy-duty long-term archival protection, or the feel of real glass should look elsewhere; these are plastic frames optimized for convenience, value, and versatility rather than high-end museum display.
