Are you confused about the different types of poster frames? Want to know how to use each one? Would you like to know more about poster frame features? Read on, and we will dispel some of the mystery.

What type of Posters go in each frame?

Snap Poster Frames, Opti Frames, Slide-in, and Top-loading all take almost any type of poster. Print your posters on any type of paper. Because all of these frames have a backing and a clear protective front, your poster does not need to be extra strong, rigid, or printed in any special way. These frames are completely versatile in terms of poster types.

LED Poster Frames need posters printed on backlit film. Backlit film is a lightly frosted plastic medium that allows the light of the LED frame to highlight your poster art beautifully.

Poster Frame Features: Loading Styles

Snap Frames are front-loading. This just means that you unsnap all 4 sides, put your poster in, then snap it closed. Opti Frames operate the same way.

Top-loading poster frames are just what they say they are: top-loading. This type of slide-in poster frames have a slot on one side for you to slip the poster between the clear front and the hard back of the frame. So depending on the type, you just snap open the frame edge to get to the slot.

For LED Sidewalk Sign Frames, the two sides of clear acrylic flip open so that you can put your posters on the backing on both sides of your frame. The LED WindPro Frame is an example of this. LED Lightbox frames for indoor use are snap frames, so can be front-loaded.

Positioning Poster Frames

Snap Frames come in wall mount, tabletop, ceiling mounted and for window use. Opti Frames work in both wall mounted and tabletop position, allowing even more flexible positioning. Slide-in poster frames work on counter tops, wall mounted, or hanging from the ceiling.

The LED WindPro is a very easy to position outside a business, as it is double sided and weatherproof. Weatherproof Snap Frames are for use outdoors and can be wall mounted.

Poster Frame Features: Colors, materials, shapes

Poster Frames come in many different colors. Black, Silver, and White are extremely popular and adaptable. Wood Effect and Golden Look Effect are also very professional and sleek color choices. Opti Frames come in the additional bright colors of red, blue, yellow, and green. There are even double color snap frames for those who want a bit more pizazz.

These poster frames come with polyethylene clear covers, matte on one side and glossy on the other. You can choose what looks best in your lighting. Outdoor frames are UV protective to keep your poster colors from fading in the sun.

Lightweight aluminum construction makes poster frames easy to mount. All the frames come in rectangles of various sizes. Most work in portrait or landscape mode. The corners come in mitered, or sharp (but not too sharp) cornered, or in various rounded corner options.

Additional Poster Frame Features

Lockable or security frames keep your posters safe, allowing only authorized employees to change the display. Movie theaters and other businesses with attractive posters will want to protect their advertisements from theft with lockable poster sign frames due to public access.

Hanging frames and window frames are often double sided, as are most sidewalk frames, including the LED WindPro. Window frames can also come with UV protective polyethylene front panels, helping your posters look fresh and bright.

So many Poster Frame Features make them multipurpose and easy to move or re-purpose. It is all much easier than you can imagine.
