Best way to frame a vintage poster.

Tack your pictures face up to the second piece of glass using small pieces of acid free double sided tape in the corners then put that glass in the frame so the pictures are protected on both sides. Bend the points to secure and then hang. Clean the two pieces of glass and add one to the frame. We strongly recommend you use only conservation standard hinges which will tear apart or separate from the backing before the poster does thus avoiding any ripping or tearing your artwork and plexiglass glazing with uv protection.

While archival framing will protect the value of your vintage poster it is more expensive than decorative framing due to the higher cost of materials. When posters are framed to size the framer will trim the linen backing to the edge of the poster. It is absolutely critical that vintage posters are correctly framed to prevent deterioration and loss of value. If you d rather not use mat board but are framing very large posters use picture frame spacers which will keep the poster from touching the frame.

Your frame should show the printers information and the margins of the poster as these are important parts of having an original piece. The correct wire strength or d hooks are automatically used appropriate for your antique poster custom frame. For vintage posters use glazing that protects against uv damage such as artglass uv filter glass or uv filter acrylic. If no mat is used a plastic spacer should be placed between the glazing and the surface of the poster.

Sand or paint your frame to give it new life.
