Outdoor and Waterproof Snap Frames

What are snap frames?

Snap frames are poster frames that are designed with an easy to use click frame functionality that holds your poster in place. Snap frames are available in a variety of colours, sizes and styles so there is something to suit your business styles and needs.

How does an outdoor poster frame work?

Snap frames couldn’t be any easier to use. The clip frame mechanism opens from the front on all four sides of the frame. This then releases your poster and it’s protective cover, allowing you to take out your current graphic and replace with your new one. The frame then simply clicks back down into place, keeping a firm grip on your poster.

What do the frame sizes mean?

The wider click frames simply offer a bit more grip than their thinner counterparts to securely hold your poster and protective cover in place. For example, our 32mm snap frames are more suitable as outdoor snap frames than our 25mm ones. This doesn't mean our 25mm frames are only for inside, our wider frames are just more suited to harsher conditions.

Do I need a lockable outdoor snap frame?

Having a lock on your outdoor snap frame just adds a little bit of extra security if you feel like you need it. If your poster is going to be outdoors overnight, with a Lockable Snap Frame you can rest assured that your graphic is safe and won't be defaced or stolen. While a Lockable Outdoor Snap Frame is a great deterrent, there are also Tamper Resistant Snap Frames which can only be opened by authorised personnel using a Snap Frame Lever Tool.

Are the snap frames fully waterproof?

The frames are not completely sealed around all edges, so they are not 100% waterproof. They are however weather resistant. They will protect your poster from certain weather conditions but will always be susceptible to some rain or condensation. For a more heavy duty waterproof snap frame you may wish to consider using a weatherproof pavement sign with a weighted base.

What other types of outdoor advertising are there?

There are a wide range of outdoor advertising options that are suitable for use in many industries, including public sector, retail and hospitality. Unlike indoor displays, outdoor displays are typically larger so that they can catch the attention of passersby, as well as having to provide key information at a distance.
