30mm profile movie poster frames

One Sheet size movie poster frame in silver or black finish.

This is nominally described as a 27"x40" frame but it fits 27x41, 27x40 and 27x39 inch posters. The frame actually fits a maximum poster size 27"x41" but thanks to a thin black/silver insert strip (supplied) the visible image area can be reduced to accomodate all variants.
It may also be used with European B1 size posters: 70x100cm.

The 27x40 aluminium frame has a contemporary styling using a 30mm 'cushion' shape profile which complements the display. All frames are supplied complete and ready to fix with anti-glare PVC poster protector front cover and wall fixings.

Snap frames are not conventional picture frames. They are supplied with poster protectors - NOT GLASS.

Poster protectors (front covers) are made from thin PVC with an anti-glare surface on one side (reverse for shiny side outwards). This is a standard material extensively used in commercial snap frames but it does not have quite the same optical clarity as glass or acrylic. Note: Snap frames are not designed for use with glass or rigid plastic glazing as the mitre corners would not close properly.

Infill strips are thin flexible plastic strips designed for use with smaller size poster. They are supplied in silver or black material according to the colour of the frame. If required, they are inserted behind the poster cover sheet at the bottom of the frame so that no gap shows. Remember too that snap frames cover up the edge of any poster. In the case of the 30mm profile only 10mm is hidden behind the frame surround when closed.

A word of caution relating to display of high value posters:

Long term (e.g. permanent) display of irreplaceable posters in snap frames is not advocated and should be undertaken at owner's risk. The PVC cover sheet does not provide much UV protection - i.e. prints could fade in time if exposed to bright daylight or sunlight.

For high value movie posters you may wish to consult an expert picture framer who can supply archival presentation and storage solutions.

As regular snap frames are not waterproof we do not suggest you use this frame outside (unless the poster is only intended for short term display).

For professional theatres requiring lockable outdoor or illuminated poster cases we will be pleased to quote for bespoke manufactured products.

Movie Poster SIZES

UK movie posters are commonly 27in x 40in whereas American posters are often 27in x 41in. This paper size is often referred to as One Sheet. 1 Sheet posters can therefore be accomodated in this size snap frame. 1-Sheet poster frames are popular with movie poster collectors.

The B1 size which is a popular paper size in Continental Europe is 700mm x 1000mm (70cm x 100cm). 700x1000 converts exactly to 27-1/2in wide x 39-1/2in high: so this size frame can be used with B1 paper provided half inch can be sacrificed down each side.
