Abstract

A process for framing and mounting an indicia sheet, such as a photograph, within a flexible planar frame which is part of a laminated frame assembly as well as the frame assembly itself and a method for making the assembly. The frame is attached to a transparent film, such as a plastic sheet, which has thereon an adhesive layer. Covering the adhesive layer is a release sheet from which a portion, corresponding approximately in size to the frame opening may be removed and used as a template for a photograph, which is then trimmed to size and inserted in its place. Thereafter, the remaining release sheet portion is removed and reversed in position to obtain an integral laminate.
