UK snap frame specialists since 1989
Snap frames, also called clip frames or poster frames, are aluminium frames that open from the front. You flip up the four edges, swap the poster and snap them shut, so the frame never has to come off the wall. That makes them the quickest way to keep posters, notices, menus, certificates and promotions looking sharp in shops, schools, offices, hospitals, gyms, pubs and restaurants.
We have been display specialists since 1989 and have sold snap frames online since 2000. Our range covers budget 25mm silver snap frames from A5 to A0, slim 15mm frames, heavy duty 32mm frames for large posters, locking and water-resistant frames for public and outdoor spaces, and coloured, gold, chrome, brass and wood effect snap frames for when silver is not quite right.
Not sure which size you need? Our snap frame size chart shows every A size and poster size side by side. Order by 2pm on a working day for same-day dispatch. Delivery to mainland UK is £8.99, or free when you spend over £100. All prices exclude VAT, and schools, public sector and trade customers can open an account and pay on invoice.

Snap frame questions
A snap frame is an aluminium poster frame that opens from the front. Flip up the four edges, slide the poster behind the anti-glare cover, snap them shut. The frame never leaves the wall.
Which size snap frame do I need?
Match the frame to the paper size of your poster: an A4 poster needs an A4 frame, an A1 poster needs an A1 frame. The edges overlap the poster by about 10mm on each side, so keep important text away from the edge. Our size chart lists every size in millimetres and inches.
How do I fit a snap frame to a wall?
Every frame comes with screws and wall plugs. Snap the four edges open, screw the back of the frame to the wall through the fixing holes, then put your poster in and snap the edges shut.
Can snap frames go outdoors?
Standard snap frames are best indoors. For outdoor or damp places, choose a water-resistant snap frame, which has a seal to keep moisture away from the poster, or a lockable outdoor poster case.
What is the difference between 15mm, 25mm and 32mm frames?
It is the width of the frame edge. 15mm is slim and suits small A5 to A3 posters. 25mm is the standard profile for A5 to A0. 32mm is wider and more rigid, so it is used for the largest sizes and for locking frames.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Order by 2pm on a working day and we dispatch the same day. Delivery to mainland UK costs £8.99 and is free on orders over £100. See our delivery page for full details.
Do your prices include VAT?
No. All prices on snap-frames.com exclude VAT.
Can schools and businesses buy in bulk or pay on invoice?
Yes. The price per frame drops as your order grows, and approved schools, councils, NHS trusts and businesses can pay on invoice. See trade and public sector or call 01462 673831.
Can I replace a scratched cover sheet?
Yes. We sell replacement anti-glare PVC cover sheets for snap frames and pavement signs, so you can refresh a frame without buying a new one.
