Features and benefits of Snap Frames.
The A3 snap frame is a quick and tidy way to display posters, signs, and important information. The front edges snap open, allowing fast poster changes without removing the frame or using tools. A clear PVC cover keeps your posters clean, flat, and protected from dust, while hidden screw holes give a neat, professional look. You can mount it in portrait or landscape.
A3 snap frames are ideal for displaying notices, menus, promotions, evacuation diagrams, homes, offices, retail stores, restaurants, hospitals, schools, gyms, community centres, and shopping centres.
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.
