Ordering Scheiber Hugó Framed Posters in Custom Sizes

The short answer is no, not as a standard order. What follows explains why size lists are fixed, what a custom size framed poster actually costs, and where non-standard dimensions remain possible.

The short answer

No. Framed posters are produced in a fixed set of listed sizes, and a custom size framed poster cannot be ordered outside that list. Standard framed posters typically run from roughly 30x40 cm to 70x100 cm. If a listed size does not fit your wall, an unframed print cut to measure by a local framer is the usual workaround.

Why the listed sizes are fixed

Framed posters are not printed to order in any dimension you like. Each edition is tied to mouldings, glazing and mount board produced in standard increments, so the size list is a manufacturing constraint before it is a commercial one. A frame made at 58x83 cm rather than 60x80 cm costs more than the two centimetres suggest, because nothing about it is standard anymore.

That constraint explains the frustration behind the question. Scheiber Hugó's compositions, with their hard geometric blocks and stepped planes, can look cramped or cropped when forced into the nearest listed size. The honest answer is that the size list is the size list. A source such as the Auvrique FAQ sets out what is and is not adjustable on a framed order, and sizing is not on the adjustable side.

What a custom size actually costs

There is a route to non-standard dimensions, but it runs through a framer rather than through the print seller. Buy the poster at the closest listed size or as an unframed sheet, then have a local workshop cut a frame to the exact measurement. For a mid-sized piece this typically adds somewhere between 40 and 120 euros over a ready-made frame, depending on moulding and glazing.

The economics matter at every size. Below about 40 cm on the long edge, custom framing costs more than the print itself in many cases. Above 70 cm, the considered shrinks as a proportion of the total. It is worth comparing against a canvas edition instead, since canvases such as a canvas edition with a balustrade scene come with their own size logic and no glazing to pay for.

One caution before you commit. Scaling a print far beyond its listed sizes degrades it. Enlarging a poster designed for 50x70 cm up to a metre wide will soften the linework, and with an artist built on crisp edges like Scheiber Hugó that softening shows. If you need a large format, look at whether the work exists as a canvas edition at all, for instance the swans nocturne on canvas, rather than stretching a poster past its limit.

Options for non-standard walls

Choose the closest listed size and accept a small margin difference on the wall.
Buy unframed and commission a local framer to cut an exact dimension.
Use a wide mount board to make a listed frame read larger than it is.
Switch to a canvas format where the size range differs from framed posters.

Deciding whether the size matters

It is worth asking whether the exact dimension is doing real work. On a wall with a sofa or a sideboard beneath it, a 60x80 cm frame and a 61x91 cm frame read almost identically, and the difference will not be noticed once the piece is hung. The exceptions are genuine: a narrow alcove, a wall panel with fixed boundaries, or a grid arrangement where every frame must match.

In those cases measure the space first, in centimetres, and write the numbers down before ordering anything. Then compare against the size list rather than against an imagined ideal. For placement questions, a piece on proportion such as choosing the right print size for a living room is more useful than a larger frame. And if the plan is a pair or a triptych, whether a 30x45 cm canvas suits a small bedroom covers how smaller formats behave in confined rooms.

The two centimetres you want are the most expensive centimetres in the frame.

Format	Typical range	Custom sizing
Framed poster, small	30x40 to 40x50 cm	Not offered, local framing costs more than the print
Framed poster, medium	50x70 to 60x80 cm	Not offered, closest listed size usually reads the same
Framed poster, large	70x100 cm and above	Not offered, canvas formats cover large walls better

Typical framed poster sizes and where custom work fits

Key takeaways

Framed posters are sold only in listed sizes, and custom dimensions are not part of the order.
A local framer can cut a frame to any measurement, typically adding 40 to 120 euros for a mid-sized piece.
Enlarging a print well beyond its listed size softens the linework, which shows badly on geometric compositions.
Measure the wall space first and compare against the size list before deciding the exact dimension matters.

Related questions

Can I request a size that is not on the product page?

No. The sizes shown on the product page are the sizes that can be produced, because frames, glazing and mounts are made in fixed increments. Requests outside the list cannot be fulfilled. The practical alternative is buying the closest size or an unframed sheet and having a local workshop build a frame to your exact measurement.

Is a custom-framed print more expensive than a listed size?

Almost always. A ready-made frame in a standard size benefits from volume production, while a cut-to-measure frame is made once, by hand, for one order. For a medium poster expect the framing alone to add a meaningful multiple of the print's cost. Above 70 cm on the long edge the gap narrows in relative terms.

Can I enlarge a small poster to a much bigger size?

Not without losing quality. A print designed for 30x40 cm enlarged to poster scale will blur, and hard-edged compositions suffer most because every soft edge is visible. If you want the work large, look for a canvas edition produced at a larger native size rather than scaling a small poster up.
