Frame a Giant Poster?

TSuellentrop · 01-01-07, 05:56 PM

I have a 40"x56" Giant Poster I want to frame. A custom frame from somewhere like Micheal's or Hobby Lobby might get expensive. Also, a sheet of glass or something else that size will be heavy/expensive also. Anybody have any experience with framing or displaying these "giant" posters.

just tried sticky tack across the top and it doesn't seem strong enough

Try FrameUSA.com. I just got three 27x40 frames at 33.00 each. They're solid and are packed very well. Great prices and you can get a custom quote.

Here are the ones I bought:

Build a frame out of molding and get some thin plexi.

buy the frame pieces and backboard from hobby lobby. buy plexiglass from the hardware store.. measure twice, cut once. I have four posters hanging in my HT area. Works great.
