Framed poster sizes for Ronald Bladen's work
Auvrique does not carry Ronald Bladen editions. This answer explains how non-standard sizes work for framed posters in general, and what to check before you commit to a dimension that is not listed.
Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Ronald Bladen, so there is no custom size framed poster Ronald Bladen option to order from this catalogue. For artists that are in print, non-standard sizes are usually possible within the printer's sheet limits, but each request is priced separately and takes longer than a standard listed size.
What non-standard sizes actually mean
A custom size framed poster Ronald Bladen request sounds simple until you separate the print from the frame. The print itself is cut to a chosen dimension. The frame has to match, and the frame moulding adds width on every side. A 60 by 90 centimetre print becomes a larger overall object once the frame is included. That matters when you are fitting a wall space or a furniture grouping.
Printers work from standard paper and canvas sheets. A non-standard size often means cutting from a larger sheet, which leaves waste and usually raises the price. Very small or very large dimensions can push against the edges of what a press can handle. The practical ceiling is rarely a round number. It is a set of available sheet sizes and the finishing equipment behind them.
How to ask for a size that is not listed
Start with the wall space, not with the catalogue page. Measure the clear area where the work will sit, then subtract the frame width on each side. That gives you the maximum print dimension you can live with. If you need a specific number, say so plainly. A framed poster in a non-standard size is a made-to-order item, and the maker needs the exact figure.
Expect a separate quote. Non-standard sizes are not usually priced on the same page as standard editions. Turnaround is longer because the print and the frame are built to order rather than picked from stock. If you are comparing options, ask whether the price changes because of the print size, the frame size, or both. Those are not the same question.
Before you request a size
- Measure the clear wall space and subtract frame width on each side
- Decide whether the print or the overall framed object drives the dimension
- Ask for a separate quote rather than assuming a listed price applies
- Confirm whether the non-standard size affects delivery time
When a custom size is not worth it
Some dimensions are close enough to a standard size that the extra cost is hard to justify. A request that is a few centimetres off a common sheet size may still be cut from that sheet with minimal waste. In that case the maker may offer the nearest standard size at the usual price. That is often the better bargain, provided the difference is not visible in the room.
The risk is not only cost. A non-standard framed poster can sit awkwardly between furniture, or leave a gap that a standard size would have filled. If you are choosing a dimension mainly because it is available rather than because it fits, reconsider the wall first. A size that is easy to order is not automatically the size that works.
A non-standard size is a separate order, not a different price on the same page.
| Factor | Standard size | Non-standard size |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Listed on the product page | Quoted separately |
| Turnaround | Built from stock or short run | Made to order |
| Sheet waste | Minimal | Depends on the cut |
| Fit to wall | You adjust to the size | You set the size first |
Standard versus non-standard framing
Key takeaways
- Auvrique does not currently carry Ronald Bladen editions, so no custom size is available for this artist from this catalogue.
- Non-standard sizes are usually possible for in-print artists but are priced and scheduled separately.
- Measure the framed object, not just the print, before you settle on a dimension.
- A size close to a standard sheet may be cheaper than a fully custom cut.

Does Auvrique offer non-standard sizes for Bladen prints
Not at present, because Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Ronald Bladen. For artists that are in print, non-standard sizes are generally handled as separate made-to-order requests rather than as listed options. The exact possibility depends on the printer's sheet sizes and the frame moulding available.
How much larger does a frame make a poster
The frame adds width on every side, so the overall object is larger than the print itself. A modest moulding can add several centimetres to each dimension. If you are fitting a tight space, use the outer frame dimensions rather than the print size when you measure the wall.
Will a custom size cost more than a listed size
Usually yes, because a non-standard print often means cutting from a larger sheet and building a frame to match. The extra cost is not only the print. It also reflects the separate handling and the waste involved. Ask for the full figure before you compare it with a standard option.
