Non Standard Frames, Reccomendations Please

So over my years travelling i have picked up a few posters and now i would like to get them framed, problem is as i got them from US and Japan the sizes are "non standard" in Australia.

Measurements are as follows:
70cm X 100cm (USA)
51.5cm X 72.8cm (Japan)

"standard" in Australia is 50cm X 70cm or 70cm x 90cm :(
While i know i could cut the posters, i am hoping that would be a last resort.

Looking online i can find these sizes in US/Japan of course but it seems that in Aus i would need to get them specially made.
Given how many cheap Japan flights there have been of late i hoped someone else may have encountered the same problem and might be able to recommend a place where i could source frames from.

The custom made ones range from $130-$200 each which makes them very expensive posters

Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas they can throw my way :)

      Second idea of: Larger frame + blank backing/surround cardboard.

    There’s loads of picture frame stores in Melbourne who will make one from scratch to suit your product. Find a local one and go in to have a chat.

    Buy a saw and mitre box and cut it to the size you need then use glass or Perspex over the front
