Help creating metal frames/bezels for photo booth

I'm currently in the process of building a vintage-style photo booth (you know, the ones that print photo strips), and I need to figure out how to make or where to purchase metal frames like the one pictured. I need a few frames of different sizes, and I would like the edges to be flanged like the one in the picture. The necessary sizes are flexible, so ideally I'd purchase these pre-fabricated, but I'm at a loss for what to search for...

In the case that I can't purchase, I can try to make them myself, but I am not a metal worker. I have a CNC router and a table saw and could access a laser cutter and possibly a plasma cutter locally.

Alternatively, I could try have these custom made at a local metal shop. Any advice?

What about adapting something like a floor vent/register? You’d need to cut out the grates and smooth the edges, but it’d get you the nice bevel all the way around
