Product Information

Full details

This Hampton Frames Poster Frame in black is ideal for anyone looking to display A3-sized artwork or documents with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Its key benefit is providing a stylish and durable framing solution for home or office spaces. A potential caveat is its specific A3 size, requiring pre-cut prints or matting for other dimensions. The frame features a sleek 20mm black pine wood construction, a break-resistant clear plastic front, and a convenient drop-in back with retaining clips for easy insertion. It's designed for wall mounting in both landscape and portrait orientations.

FAQs

What size image does this frame hold?

This frame is designed to hold A3 sized images or prints, which measure 29.7 cm x 42 cm.

Can this frame be used for posters?

Yes, it is ideal for A3 posters, offering a sleek and modern way to display them.

Does the frame come with a mount or matting?

No, this frame is designed to hold an A3 size directly. It does not include a separate mount or matting.

Can I hang this frame on its own without drilling?

The frame itself is lightweight, but wall mounting typically requires appropriate hardware such as nails or screws, which are not included with the frame. The method of hanging depends on your wall type and desired security.

Is the front made of glass or plastic?

The front is made of a clear, break-resistant plastic for safety and durability.

How do I clean the plastic front?

Wipe the plastic front with a soft, lint-free cloth. A mild cleaner can be used if necessary, but avoid abrasive materials that could cause scratches.

Can this frame be placed on a desk or shelf?

This frame is designed for wall mounting only and does not include a stand for tabletop display.

Troubleshooting

Frame does not lay flat against the wall

Ensure the back panel is fully and evenly secured with the retaining clips. Check that the artwork is not too thick and is seated properly within the frame.

Plastic front appears scratched

Clean the plastic front with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Minor scratches may be less noticeable after cleaning.

Retaining clips are difficult to open or close

Gently flex the clips back and forth a few times. If they remain stiff, a tiny drop of lubricant on the pivot point might help, but use sparingly.

Artwork doesn't fit perfectly

This frame is designed for standard A3 (29.7 x 42 cm). Ensure your artwork is precisely this size. Slight trimming may be required if your print is marginally larger.
