From ₹453 · 3mm & 5mm acrylic
Imagine you are choosing between two samples. Pick up a 3mm and a 5mm acrylic frame of the same size and the difference is obvious in your hand. The thicker one has weight, a cleaner reflection and an edge you can see from the side. That is what people mean by a premium acrylic photo frame: not a different kind of print, but a firmer, more substantial panel.
Should you upgrade? If the frame is 20×30 inches or smaller and hangs in a calm, protected room, 3mm is often enough, and it keeps the cost lower. Choose 5mm for any frame larger than that, since the thinner sheet is not offered beyond 20×30 inches. Choose it too when the piece is a wedding or anniversary gift, hangs in a busy corridor or reception, or you simply want a heavier, more expensive feel.
Finishing matters as much as thickness, and it is where a premium frame earns the name. Edges are cut and polished, the surface is inspected, and the piece is packed in five protective layers before it travels, so the surface that reaches the wall looks the same as the one that left the lab. Printing uses 12-colour HD for smooth gradients. If you are still choosing a style, read about acrylic thickness in detail, or see how a modern minimal setup uses the clean edge of a thicker panel.
Where 5mm is clearly worth it and where 3mm is perfectly fine
On panels above 20×30 inches, there is no choice: 5mm is the option. In smaller sizes, the thicker sheet resists flexing when you carry it, hang it or clean it, and the edge looks cleaner from an angle. These advantages matter most in busy homes, shops and offices, where people brush past a frame, children run through a hall, and cleaning staff wipe the surface every morning.
For a small desk or shelf piece, a bedroom wall in a quiet flat or a temporary rental display, 3mm saves money and weight. If you are unsure, order 5mm for the one frame everybody will see first, and keep 3mm for secondary walls. The saving on the quieter pieces can go into a larger size for the hero wall.
Finishing details and gifting: what arrives at the door
Each panel is cut to size in our own lab, edges polished, and checked before packing. The five-layer protective packaging is built for long courier journeys across the country, so a frame going from Mumbai to a relative in Jaipur arrives intact. Peel any protective film from the surface slowly, and wipe with a soft cloth. Keep the box until you are sure the frame is fixed and happy on the wall.
For a gift, order early. Production typically takes 1–3 working days after payment and file check, and delivery after dispatch is usually 2–5 days to metros and 4–8 days elsewhere. Add a few days for festivals such as Diwali, when couriers run slower, and ask the recipient to open the box on arrival and check that the surface is clean. If you are gifting to someone abroad, share the tracking details early so the parcel is not left outside.

Interior & Placement Tips
- Use 5mm for the wall everyone sees first, and 3mm for secondary walls to balance cost.
- Wipe with a soft microfibre cloth and a drop of mild soap in water. Avoid paper towels, which can leave fine scratches.
- Leave a hand-width of air around the panel in humid weather so the wall behind it can dry after the monsoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose 3mm or 5mm acrylic?
3mm is lightweight and goes up to 20×30 inches. 5mm has a thicker feel and is the choice for larger displays, up to 48×96 inches.
How long does an acrylic frame take to arrive?
Production is typically 1–3 working days after payment and file check. After dispatch, metro locations usually take 2–5 days and other locations 4–8 days.
What photo resolution do I need?
Higher resolution gives a sharper print, especially at large sizes. The upload step checks your photo and warns you if it is too small for the size you picked.
Does the frame come ready to hang?
Stainless-steel studs are included on eligible sizes from 12×18 inches and above. Smaller sizes suit a shelf or table.
How much heavier is a 5mm frame than a 3mm one?
About two thirds heavier for the same size, since the sheet is thicker. A large 5mm panel is a two-person job to hang. That is why the stainless-steel studs are included on eligible sizes, and why you should mount it into a solid wall or a firm fixing, not a hollow panel.
Will the print look different on 5mm than on 3mm?
The printing is the same 12-colour HD process, so colours and detail match. What changes is the feel: a thicker panel looks more substantial from the side and sits flatter on larger walls. The edges also look deeper and catch the light more clearly.
Is 5mm acrylic good for a wedding anniversary gift?
Yes, it is a common choice. The weight makes it feel considered, and it travels well in five-layer packaging. Allow time for production and courier delivery, and consider sending the photo to the recipient's city address directly if it is a surprise.
Can I order 5mm in a small size such as 8×10?
Yes. You can choose 5mm in any size, including small ones. It is not necessary for a shelf piece, but some people like the heavier feel for a gift. The price rises with thickness, so the live configurator always shows the exact figure.
Will 5mm acrylic scratch more easily than 3mm?
Not noticeably. The surface hardness is the same on both. What helps is care: wipe with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid dry rubbing with rough fabric, and keep keys and sharp objects away from the surface. A thicker sheet is stiffer but not harder.
Can I get a mix of 3mm and 5mm in one order?
Yes. Each frame is configured separately, so you can set one to 5mm and another to 3mm, provided the 3mm one is 20×30 inches or smaller. Many customers use 5mm for the main wall and 3mm for secondary pieces to keep the total sensible.
