Abstract
An art frame includes a three-dimensional supporting frame having an image receiving surface and a back surface opposed thereto, and a center portion defining a perimeter from which at least three foldable extensions extend. Each foldable extension includes no less than four folds folded toward the back surface to form a frame portion having an outer wall substantially perpendicular to the back surface, and an inner wall substantially perpendicular to the back surface and substantially parallel to the outer wall. A compressible member is attached to the outer walls to adhere an image receiving medium to the supporting frame. Compressible member includes a first adhesive on the outer walls, a polymer foam substrate (having a compression index ranging from about 0.4 to about 0.8) on the first adhesive, and a second adhesive on the polymer foam substrate. Second adhesive is to secure the image receiving medium to the supporting frame.
