Snap Frames and Tamper Resistant Frames

What is a snap frame?

Snap frames have become the standard way of displaying posters in a wide range of businesses. The edge of the poster frame has a spring lock mechanism that allows you to unclip the edges of the frame to replace your poster without taking the frame off the wall. It makes changing posters very quick and easy.

Where can these poster frames be used?

Our poster frames can be used both indoors and outdoors. They're supplied with anti-glare protective covers to keep off moisture and protect against UV rays and can be fully protected against crinkling if you print your posters on waterproof paper.

How do I install my poster case or frame?

Most of our tamper resistant frames and snap frames are supplied complete with fittings to let you mount them on your wall. If you don't want to screw your frame directly to the wall, we offer a huge range of alternate fixings including adhesive tapes and pads which make installation possible in seconds.

What is a tamper resistant frame?

Tamper resistant frames feature very strong spring clip mechanisms which make them much harder to open with your fingers alone. This can help protect your posters from theft or defacement. We sell a special tamper resistant frame lever tool to open the frames.

We make two different styles of tamper resistant frame - lockable and tamper resistant. The tamper resistant ones use a stronger spring within the frame and can only be opened easily with the special opening tool, while the lockable ones feature a locking mechanism which requires the use of a special key or Allen key to open them.

Do you supply an A5 click frame?

Our snap frames are manufactured in a huge variety of sizes and colours, fit to suit almost any poster display purpose. Some of our most popular products in the collection include our A5 click frame and the A0 click frame. The A5 click frame is a smaller size, ideal for wall mounted notices, whereas the larger option is perfect for displaying advertising posters.

Do I need to print my posters on special paper?

Our snap frames can be used with posters of any kind, from standard paper and card to special waterproof papers. Although they're supplied with protective covers, these won't protect paper from crinkling in damp environments.

All of the posters we print are produced on special paper which is waterproof and won't crinkle, even when wet.

Do the covers make snap frames waterproof?

There are actually few truly waterproof poster frames on the market. Ours come with clear protective covers supplied with protect against rain, but in damp environments the posters can still crinkle if condensation forms. However, this is easily prevented by printing your posters on special waterproof paper.
