Poster frames are used to protect, decorate, and display posters. They also enable people to turn second rate posters into works of art by simply adding a square piece of wood around it. Now, any college student that wants to frame their “Godfather” poster series can head down to the local frame store and get it done for a reasonable price.
It is common for most adolescents and college students to have at least one framed movie poster in their possession. Often a favorite movie poster is framed and mounted to signify its ranking among other movie posters. Usually cheap poster frames are used.
Cheaper poster frames are often made out of plastic, as opposed to the more expensive acrylic poster frames. These poster frames tend to come with a cardboard backing. More expensive poster frames are made out of metal or titanium, and have a more substantial backing made out of material like foamcore.
There are many different options when framing a poster. The type of frame and backing used is dependent on where the poster is hung and how much protection is needed. A cardboard backing can provide some protection, but a foamcore backing provides the best protection. The type of backing, clip, and size will determine the price. Corrugated cardboard is the least expensive backing available and offers little damage resistance. It is available for $7 to $12 depending on the size. Foamcore backing is available for $8 to $15 and offers more moisture resistance than the previous alternative. Lastly, a hardboard backing offers the most protection and is available for $9 to $14.
A clip and glass must also be purchased to hang and protect the poster. Both items can run between $5 to $15 each. Poster frames will also need to be purchased. They are most often available in clear, black, silver, gold, green marble, and black marble. All these materials can be purchased at various stores, including Frameusa.com and Posterframescentral.com.
Buying pre-framed posters is an alternative to buying posters and frames separately. A standard 26" x 38" poster can be framed using a variety of colors and materials including bamboo white, soho black, and sovia medium brown. There are three types of glass to frame the poster with including standard acrylic, non-glare protection, and UV protection. The non-glare protection glass decreases reflection and UV protection glass protects from natural and indoor light. A mat can also be added to the poster for an additional charge. Overall, the cost of a pre-framed poster is between $100- $300.
Another alternative would be to buy cheap poster frames that are available at retail stores like Target and online at websites like Displays2go.com. These poster frames are made of plastic and are simple to assemble by simply clipping the poster frame into place. They run about $24.30.
Although poster frames come in a variety of materials, sizes, and prices the purpose is the same: to protect a piece of history and display it for the world to see. That piece of history can be a classic poster from the 1920's or a Spongebob Squarepants poster. Whatever it is, display it the right way with a poster frame.
