We offer full conservation and custom framing for posters not purchased from Cinema Poster Gallery.
If you pack the poster securely we can collect it from the postal address you leave when checking out on a day of your choice. We will return your poster to you framed in a secure box. You can see an example of how the frame will be dispatched in the photos. Hundreds of customers have now availed of this service.
The one style of framing we offer is the classic way of framing a Movie Poster. This consists of a black wooden frame and a white mount (discussed below). The frame and the mount add about 3 inches to the sides of the poster. Hence if you have a 40 x 30 inch UK Quad, it will be around 46 x 36 inches when mounted and framed.
Conservation Framing
Conservation framing has a number of characteristics that protect the poster.
Glazing – Glazing can take the form of glass or Perspex. To be considered conservation-grade, a picture’s glazing must be UV resistant. While is always recommended not to hang a poster in direct sunlight, the glazing we offer is at least 93% UV resistant. The glazing we use is Perspex which enables our frames to be safely sent by courier. Perspex is a much lighter material than glass and we feel the appearance of our Perspex glazing is as good as glass.
Mount – The mount is the white border you see between the picture and frame. In our minds, a mount improves the appearance of a framed poster but it also provides a conservation function by preventing the glazing from coming into contact with the poster. The mount effectively acts as a buffer.
Sealing- if you look at pictures you can see how the frame has been sealed at the back with specialist conservation tape. This prevents vapor, dust, or any unwanted material from getting near the artwork.
Materials – Materials use in conservation framing are always non-acidic. This negates the risk of any materials ‘bleeding’ onto the artwork.
Custom Framing
Bespoke - With custom Framing the frame and the mount will be made specifically for a poster. This will ensure that the poster perfectly fits with both the frame and the mount.
Responsibility – By selecting custom framing one can avoid two (often tricky) tasks involved in framing a movie poster. The avoided tasks are selecting a frame and actually putting the poster into the frame. Selecting an off-the-shelf/out-of-the-box frame can be tricky as there is a huge range of products available on the market.
