Our large poster frames allow you to change your advertising boards in seconds without removing the unit from the wall.
Available in a variety of finishes, from classic silver frames for corporate use to bold black A0 snap frames for modern interiors, we have a solution for every brand. For exterior use, explore our secure lockable poster cases and waterproof models designed to withstand the elements.
Instant Poster Change
Tool-free updates. The four spring-loaded edges of the A0 snap frame clip open by hand. Simply lift the edges, remove the cover, and insert your new poster. No tools required.
Reinforced 32mm Profile
Built for size. Large posters need extra grip. Our A0 frames typically use a wider 32mm profile to prevent bowing and securely hold heavy poster paper flat against the back panel.
UV Protective Cover
Vibrant displays. Each frame includes a flexible, anti-glare PVC cover sheet. This protects your A0 picture frames content from fading in sunlight and prevents reflections, ensuring readability from a distance.
Standard A0 Sizing
Perfect fit. Designed specifically for A0 paper size (841 x 1189 mm). Whether printing movie posters or retail sale signs, they fit perfectly without trimming, held securely by the frame edge.
Versatile Mounting
Flexible display. Pre-drilled fixing holes are hidden beneath the snap profile for a clean finish. All frames can be mounted in either Portrait or Landscape orientation to suit your campaign.
Tamper Resistant
Secure options. For exposed public areas like bus shelters or shopping centres, we offer lockable A0 frames. These require a specialist opening tool, preventing unauthorised poster removal.
The Displaysense Advantage: Big Impact, Low Effort
Displaysense is a UK Manufacturer and supplier trusted by major cinema chains and retailers. We understand that large format signage needs to be robust and easy to manage.
Our A0 snap frames feature a reinforced back panel (styrene or correx) to ensure rigidity and prevent the poster from sagging. Whether you are displaying a new blockbuster movie or a store-wide sale, our frames ensure your message stays flat, clean, and visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is A0 paper size in cm?
A0 paper size is 84.1 x 118.9 cm (or 841 x 1189 mm). This is exactly double the size of A1 and four times the size of A2. It is the largest standard paper size for retail posters.
What are A0 poster frames used for?
A0 poster frames are used for maximum-impact visual marketing. They are the standard size for cinema posters, bus stop advertisements, and main window displays in department stores.
Can I use them as A0 picture frames?
Yes. The sleek aluminium profile makes them excellent modern A0 picture frames for extra-large art prints, maps, or architectural plans. The front-loading mechanism makes swapping oversized artwork easy.
How much of the poster is covered by the frame?
The frame profile (usually 32mm wide for A0) overlaps the edge of your poster by approximately 10mm on each side. This overlap is necessary to grip the large, heavy poster securely.
Are these frames suitable for outdoor use?
Standard frames are for indoors. For outdoor signage, you must choose our Waterproof A0 Snap Frames. These feature a rubber gasket seal inside the frame to prevent water from damaging your poster.
Do you include fixings?
Yes. All our frames come with a set of wall plugs and screws. The fixing holes are hidden underneath the snap frame profile, so the screws are invisible once the frame is snapped shut.
Do you sell replacement covers?
Yes. Over time, covers on large frames can get scratched. We sell replacement A0 PVC cover sheets separately so you can refresh your display without buying a whole new frame.
What colours are available?
While Silver is the industry standard, we also stock Black, White, Red, Blue, Green, Gold, and wood-effect finishes to ensure your large poster frame matches your interior decor.
Can I buy in bulk?
Yes. We offer volume discounts for bulk purchases of A0 snap frames. This is ideal for large venue fit-outs, franchises, or trade buyers.
Is the back panel rigid?
Yes. A0 frames use a thicker 1.5mm Styrene back panel to prevent the large poster area from bowing or rippling, ensuring a professional flat display.
