Movie poster frame

A movie poster frame should provide for both display purposes as well as archival needs. Depending upon both the value of the poster and the owner's particular interest in it, the ideal framing technique will vary. Of course, even if an individual is not particularly concerned with the image, it is wise to consider the potential value it may hold in years to come.

While the actual material of the movie poster frame will affect how it looks quite a bit, how archival it will be will depend primarily upon other aspects. In particular, more attention should be given to what covers the image and what backs it. Often people assume that glass will be the best choice.

This is not true. As part of a movie poster frame, glass creates an environment for moisture entrapment as well as fading and decay. High grade plexiglass is a better alternative. However, the emphasis of this phrase rests upon the use of the terms "high grade." Lower quality options can yellow, scratch, and develop opaque films.
