Craft Inc. offers a range of easel-back solutions to meet the unique needs of professional framers and hobbyists. From innovative tools to essential components, our products make creating standing frames easy and efficient.

Backs & Legs Only
For framers who need to customize their setups, our Backs & Legs Only option provides the flexibility to create personalized solutions. Pair these components with our hinges or Ribbon Mate for a complete assembly system tailored to your needs.

Adjustable Struts
Our adjustable leg easel backs provide customizable display angles, allowing you to adjust the drop height for different frame sizes. The hinge system used in these backs ensures secure and flexible positioning, making them a versatile choice for various framing applications.

Leg Drops
With our precision-engineered measurements, we offer multiple leg drop options, ensuring the easel strut sits at the correct height relative to the back. These adjustments allow for better frame balance and enhanced stability, giving your frames a clean, professional appearance.

Ribbon Mate
The Ribbon Mate offers an effective and efficient way to attach ribbons to easel backs and struts, providing additional support for larger, heavier decorative frames. While our patented Easel Hinge remains the industry standard for strength, the Ribbon Mate adds both functionality and elegance by acting as a hard positive stop. This tool streamlines what is often seen as a tedious process, saving time while ensuring a secure and polished finish.
