Snap Frames - how they work

All four sides of snap frames are spring loaded to hinge open with a snap action, allowing easy access to your poster behind a poster cover sheet. The frames snap open snap shut to make poster change a breeze. We offer several snap poster frame profiles plus secure and lockable versions.

Style Advice: Narrow profiles suit smaller sizes such as A4 snap frames, whereas large posters benefit visually from wider aluminium profiles.

The standard finish for our snap front poster frames is silver anodised aluminium - sometimes described as a brushed aluminium snap frame. This silver frame finish looks attractive in almost any situation. We also stock black snap frames in a range of sizes and polished gold snap frames in A4 size and A3 size and other coloured snap frames.

Are snap frames and clip frames the same?

People wanting to buy snap frames often ask for clip frames, snap clip frames - or even snap click frames. The surround of the frame snaps open thanks to the built in spring clips. These are different from the clips on a more basic clip frame.  Those clips are used to hold a clear front onto a hardboard back panel. So strictly a snap frame is not the same as a clip frame - frames with fiddly clips to secure a glass front are not generally used in a commercial environment. Safety and convenience are important, so we only sell snap type frames with a hinge-open metal surround allowing the poster to be changed without taking down the frame.

Opti Frames - a clever patented design of snap frame - offer extra safety and a choice of fixing methods. The Opti Snap Frame can be screwed to a wall, hung like a picture frame or fixed with double-sided tape. In smaller sizes, these Snap Frames can be supplied with a strut back to allow use on a table-top or reception desk. Discover Opti Frames for best value!

Standard snap frames are used outdoors although the regular snap frame is not totally waterproof. However Green Magic has now introduced a new weather-proof poster frame: it has a foam gasket to make it into a waterproof snap frame. Exterior snap frames are proving very popular.

Movie poster frames in stylish aluminium

One popular use of snap frames are for displaying movie posters. We have recently extended our range of movie poster frames. Now large stocks of 30 x 40 inch, Quad poster frames and the popular A0 snap frames.

Sign-holders are the leading UK supplier of 27 x 40-inch movie poster snap frames.

Tamper resistant snap frames, lockable snap frames and Secure snap frames

The quick change facility of snap frames can be a disadvantage: it is easy for someone to remove a print or tamper with a poster. In more vulnerable situations customers choose lockable snap frames or secure snap frames to offer security and tamper resistance. We offer tamper-proof snap frames in popular paper sizes from A4 through to A1 posters.

Snap frame poster holders and metal snapshut frames are popular and versatile.
