Professional conservation framing employs archival materials and reversible techniques to protect valuable artwork and documents. Our process includes acid-free mats, lignin-free adhesives, and UV-filtering acrylics that prevent deterioration. This service meets museum standards for preserving items with historical or sentimental value.

Handcrafted custom mirrors combine functional design with decorative elements.

Had this Dave Matthews Band foil poster framed at Malibu Custom Framing in Omaha. Pictures do not do this justice. It really pops in the natural light! The prep to figure out what would look best only took 15 minutes. Once we figured it out, this was framed up and ready in less than the 2 week timeframe they gave us. Love the work. Will return for future art framing needs!

Great place for custom framing! I've had two high quality pieces framed here and have nothing but great things to say! Their designers are very helpful and have a good eye. While a bit pricey I think it's a great value. Four years later on my shadow box and art print they have held up well after a move!

My fiance and I decided to get our college diplomas framed at Malibu Custom Framing Gallery & they went above and beyond. They made our vision a reality. The staff is personable, professional & accomodating to your specific/unique style. Look no further if you want to support local & get a great product.

Mary did a great job helping me find the perfect frame for my piece. She listened to my ideas and then brought them to the next level. I had a great experience, and will definitely be bringing future framing needs to Mary and her team!
