Abstract:
A frame assembly for displaying an object is described. In an embodiment, the frame assembly comprises a printable, rigid material forming a rectangular shaped outer frame that defines an area in which the object, such as a photograph, is displayed. The outer frame is made of a rigid, multilayer substrate that has been machined with grooves that allows it to be manipulated to form front and side walls, such that an image can be printed or wrapped around the entire surface. A method of making the frame assembly is also described. The method comprises printing an image on the frame, such as by direct digital or screen printing prior to assembling the parts of the frame.

Claim (Index 1):
A frame assembly for displaying an object, comprising:\n a printable, rigid material forming an outer frame that defines an area in which said object is displayed, the outer frame comprising two or more sides that are fixed to each other, wherein each side is made of a contiguous piece of the printable rigid material having a front surface (f) and a back surface (b) opposite the front surface, wherein the back surface (b) has a first groove (g 1 ) that permits the areas of the rigid material on each side of the first groove (g 1 ) to fold 90\u00b0 relative to each other to create a right angle for forming an outer side edge (e), the back surface (b) further comprising a second groove (g 2 ) and a third groove (g 3 ) that are adjacent to each other and located at a distance (d) from the first groove (g 1 ), wherein the second groove (g 2 ) and third groove (g 3 ) permit the contiguous piece of printable rigid material to fold 180\u00b0 such that the back surface (b) of the rigid material adjacent the second groove (g 2 ) comes into contact with the rigid material adjacent the third groove (g 3 ) to form an interior surface (i) of the outer frame assembly.
