« on: March 23, 2016, 03:14:12 PM »
he guys, can hang one poster in my living room. (GF finally gave in:P) So now the search has begun for a decent yet cheap frame. So far i came across this frame : http://www.sign-holders.co.uk/prodtype.asp?s=uYb64o3201807&strPageHistory=category&numSearchStartRecord=0&strParents=3&P_ID=31&CAT_ID=22&numRecordPosition=1

any experience?

some extra information:

i would change the poster every other month or so. I have some valuable posters so it would be nice to have the uv plexi

Good choice there, too, Dejean.  thumbsup.gif

Stay away from glass. It's a HUGE  nono to use with posters. (Others, very much in the know, such as dealer Rich (movieposterbid.com), have said this time and again, here on the forum, too).

Price looks pretty good to me. Tell her about the free shipping if you get three frames :)

Looks similar to Spotlight Displays frames, which I have a few of and would recommend.  Do all snap frames utilize two pieces of plexi to sandwich the poster?

I've found snap frames to be too tight on the posters and you have to loosen the screws leaving unsightly gaps in the frames, You'd be far better off getting a custom frame made up.
Look at Eframe.co.uk you can also have whatever style you want, I went for aluminium>

my snap frames came in today and i have to say that i like them. The pressure on the posters themself seems not to bad since the plexi goes in between the poster and de snapping part of the frame themselves. One issue though, either the frame is not completely straight or my posters have warped slightly. The latter might be the more logical. I will try to get some pics on here asap.
