Aluminium Snap Frames (25mm Standard)

What the 25 mm refers to

The 25 mm is the width of the aluminium profile - the visible border around the poster. It is the size most snap frames sold in Australia use, and it is what we stock deepest. A 25 mm frame covers about 10 mm of the poster on each edge and holds the sheet flat without a heavy border. If the frame is going somewhere it will get knocked, or the poster is A1 or A0 and has to stay dead flat, the wider 32 mm heavy duty range is the better buy.

A snap frame is also called a clip frame, snap lock frame, click frame or poster holder - all the same product. Lift the four sides open from the front, slide out the anti-glare PVC cover, swap the poster, press the sides closed. The frame never leaves the wall.

What every frame in this range has

• 25 mm aluminium profile, square corners (round corners are available in silver)
• 0.5 mm anti-glare PVC cover, which cuts reflections from shop lighting and windows
• Hardened PP backing board that keeps the poster flat
• Mounting screws included, hidden inside the profile once the frame is closed
• Portrait or landscape - the same frame hangs either way
• Individually boxed, 1 year warranty, indoor use

Browse by finish

Gold and wood-look run from A4 to A1. For an A0 poster, use black, silver or silver with round corners.

Browse by size

Every frame takes a standard A-size poster with no trimming. The profile covers about 10 mm on each edge, so keep text and logos inside the visible area.

25 mm or 32 mm?

Both take the same posters and leave the same visible area - the difference is the width and stiffness of the profile. The 25 mm frame is the better value and suits most indoor jobs. The 32 mm heavy duty frame sits about 14 mm wider and taller on the wall, resists bowing at A1 and A0, and holds up better in a corridor or entrance where it gets bumped.

25 mm snap frame FAQ

Do I need to trim my poster?

No. A standard A4, A3, A2, A1 or A0 print drops straight in. About 10 mm around the edge sits behind the frame rail, so keep text and logos clear of the edge when you design the artwork.

What is included with the frame?

The frame, the anti-glare PVC cover, the backing board and mounting screws, individually boxed. A4 to A2 can also be fixed with heavy-duty double-sided tape - we don't sell tape, but most hardware stores stock it. At A1 and A0, use screws.

Can these frames be used outdoors?

No. Every frame in this range is for indoor use only. They are not waterproof, and we do not stock an outdoor or weatherproof model.

Can they be locked?

No. They open by hand from the front, which is what makes them quick to change. They are not designed for unattended public areas where tampering is a concern.

Can I replace a scratched cover?

Yes. Replacement anti-glare PVC covers are sold separately in A4 to A0, so a marked frame does not have to be thrown out.

Can a frame stand on the floor instead?

Yes. See our floor standing snap frame stands for A4 to A1 displays that cannot go on a wall.

How are A0 frames delivered?

A0 frames are larger than the maximum parcel size Australia Post accepts, so we send them by courier. A small number of remote areas are not covered by courier services. This rarely happens, but if we cannot find a courier to deliver to your address, we reserve the right to cancel the order and will refund you in full.
