Product Information
Full details
The Announce Metal Clip Frame is an ideal display solution for artists, office professionals, and home decorators looking to showcase A1-sized posters, certificates, or photographs with a clean, modern aesthetic. This frame offers a secure, lightweight alternative to traditional glass-fronted options, making it safe for high-traffic areas or environments where glass breakage is a concern. While it provides excellent clarity and stability for your artwork, users should note that the frame relies on tension clips and lacks a sealed mat board, meaning it is best suited for indoor environments away from excessive moisture.

FAQs
Can I use this frame for artwork smaller than A1?
While it is designed for A1, you can mount smaller artwork using an additional backing sheet or mounting corners, provided the overall dimensions do not exceed the frame capacity.
Is the front cover made of real glass?
No, it is made of high-clarity, break-resistant styrene.
Does the frame come with wall mounting hardware?
The frame includes clips that function as the mounting points; however, you will need to provide the appropriate wall screws or hooks based on your specific wall material.
Can this frame be mounted horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the clip design allows for both landscape and portrait orientation depending on how you choose to mount the clips.
How do I remove the protective film from the styrene?
Both sides of the styrene cover are typically protected by a thin plastic film. Peel this back slowly from the corner before assembling your frame.
Troubleshooting
Styrene cover appears cloudy or static-prone.
Wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If static persists, lightly dampen the cloth with water to neutralize the charge.
Clips feel loose or do not hold the poster securely.
Ensure that the poster is perfectly centered and that the styrene cover is seated fully against the hardboard backing to create enough tension for the clips.
Poster appears wavy inside the frame.
Check that the poster is lying flat against the hardboard. If the environment is humid, the paper may absorb moisture; consider adding a thin sheet of acid-free backing paper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight design makes wall mounting simple and less damaging to surfaces.
- Shatter-resistant styrene front is safer than glass for homes with children or pets.
- Frameless aesthetic provides a professional, gallery-style appearance.
- Quick and easy to change out posters or artwork as needed.
- Hardboard back offers excellent structural support for large A1 prints.
Cons
- Styrene can be prone to static charge which may attract dust.
- Lack of a sealed edge may allow dust particles to enter the frame over time.
- Surface is slightly more susceptible to scratches than tempered glass.
- Does not include an integrated mat board for multi-sized document framing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your frame, lay the hardboard back on a clean, level surface. Center your A1 document on the backing, place the styrene front cover over the top, and snap the metal clips securely onto the edges of the frame.
For compatibility, this frame is designed specifically for A1 size (84.1 x 59.4 cm). Using smaller paper may result in the media shifting, while larger paper will not fit the dimensions.
To clean, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or paper towels, as these can create microscopic scratches on the styrene surface. If a deeper clean is required, a diluted solution of mild soap and water may be used, followed immediately by a gentle wipe-down with a dry cloth.
