Features and benefits of Snap Frames.
The Black 30 x 40 Inch 25mm Snap Frame is a large-format wall-mounted aluminium poster frame designed for commercial use, built to display 30 x 40 inch posters with impact and clarity. It is especially useful when displaying large-scale promotional graphics, event announcements, wayfinding signage, evacuation diagrams, or brand messaging in high-visibility environments such as hospitals, shopping centres, movie theatres, community centres, and retail spaces.
The case is sized to fit standard A1 posters measuring 594 x 841 mm, with an outer frame dimension of 662 x 909 mm. It can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation, offering flexibility to suit different display needs and spaces.
Built with a 25mm snap-open profile, all four edges open from the front with ease, allowing large-format posters and inserts to be changed quickly without removing the frame from the wall or using any tools.
The included anti-glare PVC cover (0.4mm thick) helps reduce reflection under indoor lighting, making large graphics easier to read across a distance while also protecting inserts from dust and everyday wear. For outdoor use, a separate polycarbonate cover must be purchased, and printing on waterproof paper is strongly recommended to prevent moisture damage. Its bold black aluminium finish delivers a sharp, authoritative look that commands attention and complements a wide range of commercial and institutional interiors.
How do I update my graphics?
The snap frame is single sided; it can be clipped open from all four sides. Once clips are open remove the PVC cover and insert the required poster.
How wide is the snap frame?
The frame profile is 25mm wide and this creates a 10mm overlap of your poster on each side. The frame stands out approximately 10mm from the wall.
How is the frame mounted?
The aluminium Snap Frame comes with pre-drilled holes and with wall fixings and screws ready for mounting. You can also use double sided tape to mount the snap frame to a wall.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is made from aluminium with a white non transparent backing and protected by anti-glare PVC cover.
What about the cover?
The frame comes with an Anti-glare PVC cover. Anti-glare covers and mostly used internally to prevent the glare on the poster. The thickness of all the covers is 0.4mm
Can I use this frame outdoors?
Yes, however you should print on waterproof paper. If you are going to use the snap frame outdoors, a 30 x 40 outdoor Polycarbonate cover must also be purchased as the anti-glare cover that comes with the frame may turn yellow or shrink in UV Light.
What thickness paper can I use?
The frame can hold a poster with a maximum thickness of 1mm.
