Features and benefits of Snap Frames.
A snap frame is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to display posters, signs and important information. The hinged front edges simply snap open, making poster changes quick and easy with no tools required. The snap frame does not need to be removed from the wall, and all fixing screws are hidden once the frame is closed for a clean, professional finish.
A clear PVC protective cover helps keep posters clean and in excellent condition, while the frame can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Designed for commercial use, these poster frames are ideal for displaying promotional posters, evacuation diagrams, notices and signage in locations such as hospitals, community centres, offices, schools, shopping centres and movie theatres.
This frame size is perfect for 30 x 40 inch movie posters (approximately 762 x 1016mm), making it an excellent choice for cinemas, theatres, entertainment venues, retail displays and home movie rooms. The snap-open design also makes it quick and easy to update posters for new movie releases and promotions.
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 32mm 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.
