Framing Your Puzzle
The most common frame size needed for a 1000-piece puzzle is approximately 70 x 50 cm. Standard photo frames rarely match puzzle sizes exactly — you may need a custom frame. Always measure your completed puzzle after assembly, as dimensions on boxes are approximate. Use puzzle glue on the surface and let it dry completely before framing.
All dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly between individual puzzles. Always check the specific puzzle's product page for exact finished dimensions where listed.
