Best Place to Buy Poster Frames

[Rob Hunter]

anyone know where to buy decent and reasonably priced poster frames

68.58 cm x 102cm

27x40 inch

nice one guys

Depends on what type.
The plastic snap frames can be found on ebay, for quite reasonable prices.

Many of the proper online stores were looking silly P+P prices.

looking for nice black border framed one

looked on ebay cant seem to find frame size that i need

Something I'd like to know too, I've been searching for a frame for the 3 little posters I got in the Bioshock 2 Collectors edition set, plan to have the 3 of them in a row.
Would need a frame that's about 40cm x 95cm

After all the hassle I've had trying to find one big enough, I have a feeling I might just have to buy 3 little ones or make one (if I can find some sheet plastic)

its pretty much impossible to find a generic movie poster frame, especially in black

you can either go with taking it too a shop, or going to ikea and getting a big one (not a snug fit though) or get one here

either way, they are never cheap =S

Ikea is a good idea, I've not tried there yet.

they used to have big ones (pretty badly made though) for £20ish each, and was plastic instead of glass, but only had with white frame

I know it's old-fashioned or whatever, but it's worth looking in the yellow pages for a local framing shop - they do exist.

I went to a guy local to me who makes frames almost from scratch, and you just pick out the border you like best and then he fits it perfectly - you just come back next day. The one I went to was also a lot cheaper than the Internet prices too.

I was in Ikea the other night actually looking at frames. Much bigger range that what they use to have. I picked up a frame for my Flash Gordon & Godzilla Japanese poster prints (A4 reproduction) and it looks quite good

I got three from Ikea last week for my back to the future posters pretty good, plastic glass and pasteboard frame, just give them a good checking over as the plastic is a bit fragile as its so large and the frame is a bit breakable too, £20 each or so I think.

[NHassell18]

Am after ones the same size as the OP. For original movie posters. Have a good amount I'd like to frame. Just can never find them for under £50.

I don't know how many stores they have bit The Range sells a lot of art quite cheap in frames so it's just a matter of buying one and replacing the original image. I think it can work out cheaper than buying an empty frame in some cases. And they have all kind of frame sizes.

IKEA are great if you live close or like to travel, but P&P is quite expensive on certain things.
