What are Snap Frames?

Snap frames, which are sometimes called snap poster frames, are traditional but simple frames for any public space. They are front-loading and come in many different sizes and styles. Because they are so easy to use and so adaptable, you have probably seen them in almost every business you enter.

To change the poster, snap open the 4 sides of the frame. Take off the clear protective cover. Slide out the old poster. Slip in the new poster. Replace the clear cover. Snap the sides closed. It is quick and trouble-free. Anyone can do it.

The basic components of snap frames are: poster backing, frame sides that snap open and closed, and a protective clear cover. These poster frames come in all colors, from muted tones for blending into a background, to brights that pop. Sizes range from 8.5″ x 11″, or the size of a sheet of printer paper, to large 40″ x 60″ frames for big messages. And every size in between.

Skinny but durable poster frames

Snap frames have a slim profile, with most of the frames having a 1 inch depth.  Some are even as thin as .59 inches. While these poster frames barely stick out from the wall, they still display your message boldly.

Though lean in profile, snap poster frames are workhorses for signage. They are sturdy and can last through many poster changes. Many businesses have multiple snap frames in each department, allowing for quick changes in message.  Convenient and unobtrusive because of their slim depth, they serve many functions.

Positioning Frames

Snap frames can serve many functions in an organization. They can be positioned at entrances or along a hallway. They mount on walls, windows, or used in displays. The tabletop versions are easy to move to wherever you can think to put information, decoration, or promotions.

Easy to mount on the wall with the included hardware, anyone can position snap frames for use. The functional possibilities are endless. To stir your creativity, have a look at this article, Creative ways to use snap frames in stores.
