Has anyone in the UK used this company before?
« on: December 28, 2016, 08:43:52 AM »
Hello all,

First of all I hope you all had a good Christmas.

I was wondering if anyone in the UK has used this company before. Their snap frame prices seem pretty reasonable to me.

http://www.sign-holders.co.uk/Snap-frames/Movie-poster-frames/c-1-3-22/

Any recommendations on this or any other UK company would help.

Thanks
Marc

Hi Marc

I have used them for both One Sheet and Quad snap frames. Next day delivery and arrived in perfect condition due to the huge amount of packaging.

The One Sheets are 27x41 but they send a piece of black filler plastic for shorter posters (27x40). Currently have 3 of them being used as light boxes.

I have used these as well. http://snapframeswarehouse.co.uk/Snap-Frames-Select-By-Size/movie-poster-frames-27-41-clip-snap. Good experience with them also.

Hope that helps
Simon

Hi Simon,

Brilliant, thanks for the reply. I think I'll dive in and get a quad and a 1sheet frame from sign-holders.

Cheers
Marc

Simon, Can you show me how you turned the snap frames into light boxes please??
This is something I'm trying to build now with a local framer.

Cheers

Hi Steve

Sorry for the late reply, didn't see the reply until now.

I built the Lightbox myself, basic DIY skills and your off. I made wood frame that the snap frame screws into. Cut an MDF sheet for the back which has a set of led lights attached - Brought in a 5m or 10m roll off ebay - cut into strips then soldered each of the strips together about halfway up due to voltage drop when they were connect at each end. I then attached a switch to turn on/off. Run off a transformer similar to a laptop charger.

I will try and dig out some of the images from the build if I can find them.

Hope that ramble makes sense.

Cheers
Simon

It does Simon, thanks.
Photos will help and I'll post some from this end as I have my frames back from the framer and ready for continuous hinges and LED back panels!

More soon, once the LEDs and hinges have been delivered and fitted.

Cheers
Steve
