Movie Poster Frames - Blu-ray Forum

ZackL · 03-06-2008, 12:53 AM

Hey guys,

I was wondering where you would suggest getting some decent quality black poster frames ( with glass) that ship into Canada. I only need them for regular size posters and figured someone here might be able to help =P.

Thanks,

Zack

I would recommend not getting glass ones if you plan to preserve the poster instead get UV filtered plexiglass but if its just to display a decent poster than that's alright, don't know where you can get one to ship to can though.

+1 on the UV plexiglass on these large pieces. As with any conservation glass, it requires a special cleaner, though.

I have bought from hollywoodposterframes.com in the past. I found them through eBay, so you might be able to find specials on ebay. Don't know if they ship to Canada. You can get the UV plexiglass recommended by others. They also do custom sizes. They are very accommodating. Before buying my first frame I sent an email with some questions. Rather then email me back she called me and answered my questions on the phone.

Hope this helps.

Ikea used to carry them. there's also a more expensive way to go. Toronto yellow pages lists a place on Don Mills Rd. I believe that sells movie posters, frames etc.

Another question.... what is the best frame size for your average 25x37'' poster?

Slackr89 · 03-07-2008, 04:20 AM

are u sure its 25x37? standard posters are 24x36 which is what all the frames come in. if it is 25x37 you may need to cut off an inch from two sides

You're probably right. I just ripped the measuring tape out quickly tonight =P.

Jokerboy649 · 03-07-2008, 05:09 AM

well the standard size of a movie poster is 27x40 (27x41 for older ones).
