California orange crate labels show the beauty, hope, and promise of California in a less-crowded and more pastorial time. Printed between 1880 and the 1950's, by Sunkist and other agricultural companies, the California citrus label has become both a collector's item and a beautiful decorative feature to any home.
LabelFrames.cm provides labels that are chosen on the basis
of their beauty and Southern California origin. All the labels are
guaranteed to be original lithographs. Copies and reproductions are
never sold by LabelFrames.cm.

LabelFrames.cm provides framed labels at a low cost and
reasonable price. Blank frames for your collection or home display are
also available. Below is a description of the frames.
For years I have
seen orange crate labels displayed in high priced wooden frames. I have
always thought these frames detracted from the original beauty of an
attractive California orange crate label. I also have never understood
why people would spend $75.00 or more dollars to have a $12 or $15
dollar orange crate label framed. Framing is expensive. LabelFrames.cm solves this problem by providing a beautiful low cost frame
that shows the label -- and not the frame!

Each frame has
been designed to fit most orange crate labels. These labels were
originally sized between 9-10 by 10-11 inches. Our frames will display
these labels beautifully. Sure, there are some larger crate labels, but
you will not find them on LabelFrames.cm.
Each frame and label is shipped to you in such a way that all you will need is a single nail and less than one minute to add a beautiful California orange crate label to your home decor.
The frames consist of four components: the plexi-glass frame, an acid-free mat backing, a styrofoam backing, and of course, the label of your choice. If you have your own labels, you can purchase frames without labels, thereby saving the high cost of having your labels put in wooden frames. Frames, without labels, are $14.00 each. To purchase blank frames, simply go to the bottom of this page.
Why plexi-glass?
For years museums across the country have been using Plexi-glass to
protect their works. Plexi-glass is non-glare and protects lithographs
from harmful UV light. In addition, plexi-glass eliminates the risk of
shattered glass and is much lighter than glass making it easier and
safer to handle and hang. In fact, all you will need to hang this frame
is a single nail.
Below are some examples of our framed labels displayed in some local homes.

The style is clean and simple. Our frames show the label, not the frame! But the best part is yet to come, and that of course are the variety of labels below:
