They don't work well honestly. I have to tape the clips to the poster and you can lose paper when removing the tape.  I would order a large flip frame from Spotlight Displays.

I don't hold much hope out, but I was talking to a bill-board poster putter-upper today, and asked if he could get me the new Underworld poster he was pasting up. He seemed a bit surprised I would want anything that big, but said give me your number, and if there's any left I'll call you....Fingers crossed.

He says the poster is a 96 Sheet.... Cool

Jeezum crow, Paul...a 96 sheet?
All that Kate Beckinsale would probably give me a coronary...wynk
Good luck...I hope you get one.

Yea, I already went through thinking about that route when I framed mine.  If I had gone the Spotlight route it would have cost me more than it ended up costing me to just frame it.  Spotlight doesn't have panels for a 55x78 so I'd have to buy two sheets of plexi, where if I frame it I only have to buy one.  I guess you could just do a spotlight with no plexi, but that might damage the poster.  Oh well, I'll just make it a point not to buy big posters I don't plan on wanting to frame.

The classic billboard was a 24 sheet.  This would be 4 times that, or one of those Las Vegas billboards.

You could wrap it around the outside of your house!  Or put it in front of your house.  Either way neighbors probably wouldn't be too happy.

I come up with something like 240" x 432" or 20' x 36'
Too big to plaster in even most two story houses.

I don't know if I can believe a 96 sheet exists?

Even if it is a giant Beckinsale (back off Ted!)

I don't go out of my way to collect them (too hard to display) but I have some nice three-sheets and a stack of banners, most of which are hidden under the stairs!

Mark, you are spot on...only it's like a door panel Quad, the poster measured 10' x 40', which is the same surface area as 20'x20'....could you show your working out? Wink

Anyway here's the pic's, the fellow measuring the poster is a work colleague...

A UK Double Crown (20" x 30") is the base unit. This is 600 sq inches. A UK 96-sheet measures 600 sq inches x 96 = 57600 square inches or 400 square feet, equivalent to a 20' x 20' poster.

Isn't vinyl?  I know some hippies down in the art district use them as insulation or wraps on homes.  Some use them sorta like screens/window covers....  Awesome...  You could do two walls of a garage or office...

Batman Returns (12′ 2″ x 2′ 11″)


The Bodyguard (12′ x 3′ 6″)


Unforgiven (12′ 2″ x 2′ 11″)
