Quality Frames Protect Your Posters By Zula on Sep 02, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Recently, we purchased some vintage movie posters at an estate sale for resale in our antique business. In order to display the posters, we had to find a way to frame them and protect them from the light. After doing some research on the internet, we found what we needed on E-bay. Best of all....they're made in the USA! Each frame kit comes with aluminum frame, foam core backing, and protective lens cover. Hardware includes mounting brackets, wall bumpers and wire. The frames come in different colors and sizes.

We decided the black frames would look best for our posters, so we ordered six of the 27" x 41" frames. They are made from quality anodized aluminum. The face of the frame is approx. 3/8" wide, which is perfect for the posters.

The backing is PH neutral white foam board, which helps to stabilize the poster in the frame. The cover {front} of the frame is guaranteed UV filtering, which is so important for protecting the posters from the light. The clear protective lens is unbreakable and 18x stronger than acrylic or plexi-glass.

The frames were easily assembled in just a few minutes. Each kit included mounting brackets and wire, so it was easy to attach a secure wire for hanging. Two of the posters are now hanging in a local antique mall and look fantastic!

We're happy with the ease of use and quality of the frames. The total for six frames was $229.99, which is approx. $38.00 each. Each poster has a retail value of $200+, so it's important to use quality frames to protect them. These frames work very well for us and we recommend them for protecting paper collectibles.
