Why can I buy a ready-made frame for my movie poster at my local Walmart or Target?
Movie posters are not standard sizes in the readymade framing world. Readymade frames are typically based on photographic sizes. However, with movie poster collecting becoming so popular over the last several years, there are a few larger chain stores and even a couple of internet sites that offer one sheet sized frames, mostly for current 27×40 movie posters. However, these are mass-produced frames and usually made of inferior products for display. They are definitely not for protecting your posters from harmful acid decay. At Hollywoodposterframes.com we sell a one-sheet size Economy Frame for $49 wholesale. This includes UV filtered plexiglass and ” white foam core in a custom cut frame. Since we custom cut every frame, we have each customer hand measure the poster that they will be installing in the frame before we cut it. This way if you have an odd size poster, for example a reproduction movie poster that is under 27×41, we cut it to its actual size so your poster fits perfectly.
