Good luck

Re: Truvue vs Artglass?
I was lucky enough to visit the factory last Sept. Fascinating tour. They dont make glass only coat it, which I didn't know before hand

Re: Cardboard presentation boxes?
There is a framer near me who has a nice biz with the photographers
He makes his own boxes on his CMC

Re: Custom Sized Cardboard Corners
If not available off the shelf why not ask a local framer with a CMC to make the exact size you need.
And why not at the same time get them to print something on one side that will enhance the finished job - your company name & logo
