Snap frames for commercial vehicles

Advertising on the side of a delivery van

Specially adapted snap frames for advertising on vehicles

We can supply to special order snap frames designed specifically for attaching to the sides of vans, lorries or buses in which to display advertisements.  The special design addresses several important safety and operational issues which would arise if standard snap frames were used.

  • Ideal for advertising on supermarket delivery vans.
  • Display sales messages on trucks, buses, ice cream vans etc.

Fixing snap frame securely to van side  Concealed secure screw or rivet fixing.

The sides of the snap frame are opened up to view the perimeter channel.  Fixing holes are provided and a secure mechanical fixing such as screws, bolts or rivets must be used.  Please consult a reputable body shop or commercial vehicle body builder. 
Please note that these snap frames cannot be supplied curved and therfore they are only suitable for flat-sided vehicles.

Lever tool used to open the secure frame surround.  42mm wide frame opened with special tool.

Our specially made vehicle snap frames have extra strong springs built into the frame surround.  Moreover we use a 42mm secure profile to prevent unauthorised tampering.  The poster frame can only be opened with the assistance of a lever tool.

The poster cover sheet is also double the usual thickness.  These features combine to offer extra safety to ensure that the frame cannot accidently open - especially when the vehicle is travelling at speed and the suction pressure across the face of the frame could be considerable.

Extra thick poster cover sheet cannot fall out  Cover sheet is top hinged for ease of use.

The PET poster cover sheet is cunningly hinged at the top.  This means that when posters are changed the clear plastic face will not fall out and the poster can be changed conveniently and relatively easily.  We even supply a handy PULL HERE tab on the bottom corner to make it easier to get the cover open.
Note that covers will not totally prevent rain or humidity reaching the print so it is advisable to specify a wet-strength / water resistant paper or synthetic material for the poster to be printed on.

Like standard snap frames these commercial vehicle advertsing frames are intended for paper-thickness inserts.  If you want to use a medium thicker than 300 gram/micron please state at the time of ordering (but we don't recommend it as poster cost will be higher, distribution will be more difficult, as will changing over your advertisements).

Vehicle snap frames are made to order

Please call with your specific enquiries for van-side snap frames as these are not held in stock and must be made to order with a lead time of 4-6 weeks.  Please note that minimum order quantities apply although small trial orders may be considered if a roll-out is planned to follow.

The standard poster sizes catered for are:

600 x 800mm
800 x 1200mm
700 x 1000mm
1000 x 1400mm
600 x 1600mm
1200 x 1600mm

Standard frame finish is silver anodised aluminium.  Special RAL colours subject to MOQs.
These van and lorry snap frames are sometimes referred to as Autoboard Poster Frames.

Please take care to evaluate the total project including safe fixings etc. 
Our role is to supply snap frames with special features as described above and we cannot undertake installation or offer any assurance that the finished solution will comply with any statutory, safety or insurance regulations or conditions.
