Poster Frames

Poster Frames

Your posters deserve more than just a pin on the wall. At The Display Centre, we provide poster displays that elevate how your information, promotions, and branding are seen. We design our poster frames to be easy to use and grab attention. From snap frames that open easily to A-boards that stand out on busy streets, we focus on clear and strong communication.

Our solutions suit every industry — from retail and hospitality to education and exhibitions. Our poster holders and sign holders keep your menus, event promotions, and product information clear and professional.

We offer many poster display options. These include wall-mounted, freestanding, and acrylic poster frames. We help you find the right style for your space and budget.

Types of Poster Frames and Displays

Every space and purpose demands a slightly different display. That’s why we offer a wide range of poster display frames — each built to perform in specific environments.

Snap Frames

Our snap frames (also known as click frames) are among the most popular and versatile choices. These wall-mounted frames open from the front, allowing you to change printed posters within seconds — no tools required.

You can find snap frames in sizes from A5 to A0, and you can also order them in custom dimensions. They come in finishes like silver, black, white or coloured trims to match your brand.

You can explore our complete Snap Frames range for lockable, tamper-resistant, or waterproof options. Perfect for retailers, schools, restaurants, and offices wanting a polished look.

A-Boards (Pavement Signs)

A-boards, sometimes called “sandwich boards,” are timeless outdoor advertising tools. When viewed from the side, their A-shaped design offers stability while catching attention from both directions.

These boards are great for coffee shops, restaurants, and event venues. They are often used to promote specials, menus, or limited-time offers.

Our collection includes:

• Metal and aluminium pavement signs
• Chalkboard and marker-board options
• Weather-resistant poster frames with protective covers
• Forecourt signs for high-traffic outdoor spaces

Each is built to be lightweight yet durable, easily moved indoors or outdoors as needed.

Poster Browsers

Poster browsers, also called print browsers, let you display many prints or posters in a fun and interactive way. Great for galleries, music shops, cinemas, and showrooms, they allow customers to easily browse designs, artworks, or promotional materials.

We offer floor-standing and wall-mounted versions with a variety of sleeve capacities and frame colours. You can order additional sleeves to expand your display as your range grows.

Floor-Standing Poster Holders

If wall space is limited, floor-standing poster frames make a bold, professional statement. You often find these in hotel lobbies, car showrooms, and store entrances. They offer a stylish way to show signs, event notices, or ads. Many of our freestanding sign holders are adjustable in height and angle for ultimate flexibility.

Material Guide

Choosing the right material ensures your poster display stays looking its best for years. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

• Aluminium Frames – Lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for modern retail or office interiors.
• Acrylic Poster Frames – Offer a sleek, glass-like finish but without the fragility. Great for galleries or premium product displays.
• Plastic Frames – Cost-effective, practical, and versatile — perfect for garden centres or temporary signage.
• Steel and Metal A-Boards – Designed for outdoor resilience and stability in windy conditions.

We choose our materials for their strength, clarity, and ease of use. This keeps your display looking professional and high-quality.

How to Choose the Right Poster Frame

Finding the perfect frame depends on three key factors: environment, content, and audience.

Where will you display it?

• Indoors: go for acrylic or aluminium snap frames.
• Outdoors: choose lockable or waterproof options.

What type of poster or signage are you using?

• Promotional posters or menus suit snap frames and A-boards.
• Art prints or photography fit best in acrylic picture frames or poster browsers.

How often will you change the content?

• For frequent updates, front-loading snap frames are ideal.
• For long-term displays, lockable frames or fixed holders offer more security.

Display Tips

1. Keep posters clean and crease-free — dust and reflections reduce visibility.
2. Use consistent frame colours to create a cohesive brand look across your gallery wall or retail space.
3. Update your printed posters regularly to keep messaging fresh and relevant.
4. Use different formats. For example, place a floor-standing poster holder next to an A-board. This will attract both pedestrians and indoor visitors.
5. Consider lighting — illuminated snap frames or backlit displays can boost visibility in low-light environments.

FAQs

• “Can I use your poster frames outdoors?”

Yes, many of our poster frames and snap frames are weatherproof or lockable, perfect for outdoor environments. Look for our “outdoor-rated” models for added protection.

• “Do you offer custom sizes?”

Absolutely. While we stock standard A5 to A0 sizes, we also manufacture custom-sized poster frames for unique display needs.

• “What’s the difference between snap frames and poster holders?”

Snap frames have a front-opening mechanism for quick poster changes. Poster holders often refer to freestanding or wall-mounted units that hold your posters behind a protective cover.

• “Can you supply printed posters too?”

Yes! With our units, we can supply printed posters through our trusted printing network. This way, you get a full display solution.

• “Are your A-boards easy to move?”

Definitely. Most of our A-boards are designed to be lightweight and portable, yet stable enough to withstand outdoor use.

Common Objections

• “I don’t have space for wall-mounted displays.”

No problem. We offer floor-standing and tabletop sign holders that fit into tight spaces without compromising visibility.

• “I’m worried about people tampering with posters.”

Try our lockable snap frames or tamper-resistant models. They keep your materials safe and allow easy access for authorised staff.

• “Will it fit my brand style?”

Our frames come in various finishes — silver, black, white, and even gold. Whether you want a modern look or a classic touch, we’ll help you find the perfect match.

That’s fine! We cater to both bulk and individual orders, offering competitive prices no matter your quantity.
