Snap Frames – Poster Frames & Holders
Snap frames (also known as poster frames or poster holders) are one of the UK’s most trusted ways to display advertising, menus, safety notices, and marketing graphics. Each frame includes a FREE anti-glare PVC cover to keep your posters in excellent condition, while the snap-open mechanism allows for fast updates with no tools required.
Suitable for portrait or landscape mounting, these aluminium frames are lightweight yet durable. Available in a wide range of colours and sizes, they are the go-to poster holders for retail, hospitality, education, offices, healthcare, and public buildings.
