Features and benefits of Snap Frames.
The Black A1 25mm Snap Frame is a wall-mounted aluminium poster frame designed to display A1 posters in a striking and professional format. It is especially useful when displaying frequently changing content such as promotional graphics, event announcements, evacuation diagrams, safety notices, or wayfinding signage in highly visible indoor locations including shopping centres, hospitals, movie theatres, community centres, and retail spaces. The screw holes are hidden when the front cover is closed, ensuring a clean and seamless appearance on the wall.
The frame is sized to fit standard A1 posters measuring 594 x 841 mm, with an outer frame dimension of 624 x 871 mm and a visible display area of 574 x 821 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 posters and inserts to be changed quickly without removing the frame from the wall or using any tool.
The included anti-glare PVC cover helps reduce reflection under indoor lighting, making large-format graphics easier to read across a distance while also protecting inserts from dust and everyday wear. Its bold black aluminium finish delivers a sharp, contemporary look that complements a wide range of commercial and public-facing 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 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.
