Reduce framing costs by 22% with SHAHE SHOTT GLASS’s 2mm picture frame glass—ultra-clear, precision-cut, and delivered in 10-15 days. OEM/ODM designs, CE/ISO certified, and free samples available.
Common Framing Challenges You Face Daily
As a purchasing manager or technical director, you know the pain of sourcing high-quality 2mm picture frame glass:
- High Costs: Paying premium prices for subpar clarity or inconsistent thickness. The global flat glass market is projected to hit $404.76B by 2030, but China’s supply chain cuts your costs by 20-30% without sacrificing quality.
- Lead Time Delays: Waiting 4-6 weeks for overseas shipments. Our 3 plants (20,000sqm total) ensure 10-15 day delivery for standard orders.
- Inconsistent Quality: Receiving batches with air bubbles, scratches, or uneven edges. Our Intermac CNC work centers guarantee ±0.2mm tolerance on every sheet.
- Limited Customization: Struggling to find suppliers offering beveled edges, drilled holes, or custom shapes. We provide full OEM/ODM support with no MOQ for prototypes.
- Logistics Headaches: Dealing with broken shipments or customs delays. Our 28 years of export experience means 99.8% intact delivery with DDP shipping options.
- Compliance Risks: Worrying about failing local safety standards. Our 2mm picture frame glass meets GB15763.2-2005, CE, and ASTM C1036 requirements.
The float glass market is booming (projected to reach $298.65B by 2030), but only 15% of suppliers can consistently deliver on price, quality, and speed. SHAHE SHOTT GLASS is in that top tier.

Frequently Asked Questions About 2mm Picture Frame Glass
✅ Q: What’s the difference between clear float and ultra-clear (low-iron) 2mm glass?
Clear float glass has a slight green tint due to iron content (0.12%), while ultra-clear glass has 90% less iron (0.015%), resulting in 91.5% light transmittance (vs. 89%). Ideal for high-end art framing or photography where color accuracy is critical. The ultra-clear glass market is growing at 6% CAGR for this reason.
✅ Q: Can you provide custom shapes (e.g., oval, circular) for 2mm picture frame glass?
Yes! Our waterjet cutting and CNC machining can produce any shape (including complex curves) with ±0.1mm precision. No MOQ for prototypes—ideal for custom frame manufacturers or art projects. Upload your DXF/CAD files for a quote.
✅ Q: What edge finishes are available for 2mm glass?
We offer:
- Seamed edges: Basic, smooth finish (standard for most frames).
- Polished edges: High-gloss, premium look (ideal for clear glass).
- Beveled edges: Angled cuts (e.g., 45°) for a decorative touch.
- Pencil edges: Rounded, safe edges for handling.
✅ Q: How do you package 2mm picture frame glass to prevent breakage?
Our 5-layer protection system includes:
- Interleaving paper: Between each sheet to prevent scratches.
- Corrugated cardboard: Edge protection and cushioning.
- Bubble wrap: For impact resistance.
- Wooden crates: For bulk shipments (or custom cartons for smaller orders).
- Strap reinforcement: Steel or plastic strapping for stability.
✅ Q: What’s the MOQ for custom 2mm picture frame glass?
No MOQ for standard sizes (up to 3660x2440mm). For custom shapes/thicknesses:
- Prototypes/sample orders: 1-10 sheets (any size/shape).
- Bulk orders: 100+ sheets (negotiable pricing).
- OEM/ODM: 500+ sheets for branded packaging.
✅ Q: Do you offer tempered or laminated 2mm glass for safety?
Tempered: Yes, but note that 2mm tempered glass may not meet all safety standards (e.g., ASTM C1048 typically requires ≥3mm). For 2mm safety glass, we recommend:
- Laminated (2mm + 2mm): Two layers with a PVB/EVA interlayer (shatterproof, meets safety codes).
- Tempered + Laminated: For maximum strength (e.g., for public spaces).

✅ Q: What are your payment terms and shipping options?
Payment:
- Sample orders: 100% TT in advance.
- Bulk orders: 30% deposit, 70% before shipment (TT, L/C, or PayPal).
- Long-term partners: Negotiable (e.g., 60-day terms).
- Air freight: 3-7 days (for urgent orders <500kg).
- Sea freight: 20-40 days (LCL/FCL).
- Express (DHL/FedEx): 5-10 days (for samples).
- DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): We handle customs for you.
✅ Q: Can you provide anti-reflective (AR) coating for 2mm glass?
Yes! Our AR-coated 2mm glass reduces reflections by 98%, making it perfect for:
- Art galleries/museums with bright lighting.
