Anodised Aluminium
Built to last. Our frames are made from high-grade aluminium that is resistant to rust and scratches. This ensures your picture frames maintain a professional appearance even in high-traffic areas.
Anti-Glare Protection
Clear visibility. Every frame includes a UV-stable PVC cover sheet. This protects your frames for printing from fading under lights and prevents glare, ensuring text is always readable.
Standard Sizing
Perfect fit. Designed specifically for A4 page size documents. Whether you print menus in-house or order professional flyers, they will fit perfectly without trimming.

Flexible options. All frames come with pre-drilled holes hidden under the profile and wall fixings included. You can mount them in either Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Tamper Resistant
Secure options. We offer lockable A4 frames that require a special tool or key to open. This prevents unauthorised access or poster removal in public spaces like restrooms or lifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is A4 in cm?
A4 size in cm is 21.0 x 29.7 cm (or 210 x 297 mm). Our frames are designed to fit this standard paper size perfectly, with the aluminium frame edge overlapping slightly (approx 10mm) to hold the paper securely in place.
What is an A4 poster frame?
An A4 poster frame (or snap frame) is a display holder with four spring-loaded sides that clip open. This allows you to insert an A4 sheet, such as a menu or certificate, from the front without taking the frame off the wall.
What is the A4 size paper length?
The length of A4 page size paper is 297mm (29.7cm), and the width is 210mm (21.0cm). This is the international ISO 216 standard used for most office printers, flyers, and certificates.
How much of my poster will be hidden?
The snap frame profile (usually 25mm wide) overlaps the edge of your poster by approximately 10mm on each side to hold it in place. We recommend leaving a small margin around the edge of your design to ensure no important text is covered.
Can I mount A4 frames in Portrait and Landscape?
Yes. All our frames are designed to be universal. The pre-drilled fixing holes on the back allow you to screw the frame to the wall in either Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal) orientation.
Are these suitable for outdoor menus?
Standard frames are for indoors. If you need to display a menu outside, you must choose our Waterproof A4 Snap Frames. These feature rubber gaskets to prevent water ingress, protecting your paper insert from rain and moisture.
Do you stock other paper sizes like A3 or A2?
Yes. We stock the full range of standard paper sizes including A5, A3, A2 paper size, and large A1/A0 posters. All feature the same easy-change snap mechanism for quick updates.
How do I install an A4 snap frame?
Installation is simple. Open the four snap edges to reveal the pre-drilled screw holes. We supply the screws and wall plugs. Just mark the wall, drill, and screw the frame in place. For lighter use, you can also use strong double-sided tape.
Is the cover sheet included?
Yes. Every frame comes with a flexible, anti-glare PVC cover sheet. This protects your frames for printing from dust, fingerprints, and UV fading, keeping your poster looking fresh.
Can I use them as picture frames?
Yes. While designed for commercial posters, their sleek aluminium design makes them excellent modern picture frames for photos or art prints. They allow you to swap photos instantly without taking the frame down.
