Getting a frame for a poster, by param1 on Jan 2, 2022 18:45:35 GMT 1, I've purchased a poster for around ยฃ50 and want to frame it. It's a standard sized poster (60x80cm) and given the low value, I'm looking for a relatively cheap frame that I can just put the poster in myself.
Any UK recommendations for where to get one? Frames.co.uk looks good but I've never used them.
Thanks

From memory I can't recall which thickness I've gone for in the past but I'd assume 2mm is a standard thickness. Maybe someone else who does their own framing will chime in on this |

Maybe someone else who does their own framing will chime in on this 2mm would be adequate but the thicker the better. Thin Perspex can cause some funky reflections due to warping and rippling. Personally I would use 3mm or 4mm but obviously that comes with extra cost. |
