Wall Mount Snap Frame Backlit

An edge-lit aluminum poster frame that mounts to a wall and opens on all four sides, so the graphic inside changes in about a minute without taking the frame off the wall. Two sizes: 18 x 24 in. and 24 x 36 in.

The frame is anodized silver aluminum with 35 mm snap rails. LED strips run the full perimeter behind an acrylic diffuser panel, which is what keeps the lit face even instead of bright at the edges and dim through the middle. The power supply is UL listed. The frame mounts horizontally or vertically, and the screws and wall anchors are in the box.

Changing the graphic

Snap all four rails open, lift out the clear PVC protection film, drop in the new print, lay the film back over it and snap the rails closed. Nothing is glued and nothing is trimmed on site. The frame accepts printed material up to 0.5 mm thick, so a graphic ordered now and a replacement ordered next season go into the same frame.

What each option includes

• Graphic package — the aluminum snap frame, PVC protection film, UL-listed power supply, four screws, four wall anchors, and one single-sided backlit film graphic printed to your artwork.
• Frame only — the same frame, protection film, power supply and mounting hardware, with no graphic. Order this if you are printing elsewhere or reusing a graphic you already have.
• Graphic only — one printed backlit film panel for a frame you already own.

Shipping

One carton per frame, 9 lbs for the 18 x 24 and 14 lbs for the 24 x 36, so it travels as a parcel and the rate calculates at checkout. A graphic ordered on its own ships rolled at 1 lb. Ordering several frames at once is usually cheaper shipped together than rated piece by piece — ask us to quote the shipment.

Artwork

Build artwork at the printed size, 18 x 24 in. or 24 x 36 in. Backlit film is read with light coming through it rather than bouncing off it, so ink density behaves differently than it does on paper and we send a proof before the job runs. Send a print-ready file, or send your logo and brand colors and we will lay it out.

Where these get used

Menu and directory panels in a lobby, pricing and promotion panels in a retail window, wayfinding in a building where the message changes a few times a year. If you want a run of them mounted rather than shipped, we install as well as print.

Not sure which size or how many?
