These are some common questions you might have about framing your movie poster.
Should I use glass for framing my poster?
No, you shouldn't use glass when framing your movie poster. For several reasons.
One is that if the glass breaks there's a high chance it will hurt your movie poster.
Another reason is that glass has no protections built-in again UV rays (light) which can cause your movie poster to fade.
Do I need to use spacers when framing my movie poster?
Generally, movie posters don't receive very much benefit from using spacers (bits of material used to separate the glass from the poster - just around the outside edges, though.)
Should I use cardboard as a back for my posters?
No. Cardboard isn't acid-free and can damage your valuable movie poster over time.
Is a wood frame or metal frame better?
When it comes to preserving your poster, this doesn't have an effect on it. That is, it's more of an asthetic choice.
