What Is a Snap Frame?
A snap frame is a quick-change poster frame designed so that posters, notices and promotional graphics can be changed in seconds without removing the frame from the wall.
The frame is normally made from aluminium profiles around all four sides. Each side is spring-loaded and simply snaps open and closed from the front.
To change a poster:
- Snap open the four sides of the frame.
- Lift the clear protective cover.
- Remove the old poster and insert the new poster.
- Replace the protective cover.
- Snap the four sides closed.
The result is a neat, professional poster display that can be updated quickly without tools and without taking the frame off the wall.
Snap frames may also be referred to as clip frames, snapper frames, click frames or quick-change poster frames.
Why Are Snap Frames So Popular?
Snap frames are one of the most widely used commercial poster display systems because they combine a professional appearance with very easy poster changes.
They are particularly useful in businesses where promotional material, prices, menus, notices or advertising graphics need to be updated regularly.
- Quick poster changes – open the four sides and replace the graphic in seconds.
- No tools required – posters can normally be changed while the frame remains fixed to the wall.
- Professional appearance – aluminium edges create a clean border around your poster.
- Protective cover – helps protect posters from fingerprints, dust and everyday wear.
- Portrait or landscape – most snap frames can be installed in either orientation.
- Wide choice of sizes – from small A5 notices through to large A0 promotional posters.
- Multiple colours and finishes – allowing frames to complement branding and interior design.
Snap Frames in A5, A4, A3, A2, A1 & A0 Sizes
Display Me stocks snap frames across the major Australian A-series poster sizes, making it easy to create consistent signage throughout your business.
- A5 Snap Frames – ideal for prices, small notices and information displayed at close range.
- A4 Snap Frames – one of the most popular sizes for notices, menus and general business signage.
- A3 Snap Frames – excellent for promotions, menus, workplace signage and customer information.
- A2 Snap Frames – a versatile medium-to-large format for retail and commercial advertising.
- A1 Snap Frames – ideal for large promotional posters and high-visibility signage.
- A0 Snap Frames – designed for large-format posters where maximum visibility is required.
We also stock selected non-standard and inch-size poster frames for businesses using artwork that does not follow traditional A-series dimensions.
Silver Snap Frames
Silver Snap Frames remain our most popular and versatile option. The anodised aluminium finish provides a clean, professional appearance suitable for retail stores, offices, schools, hospitals, shopping centres and almost any commercial interior.
Silver frames work with virtually every colour of poster or graphic and provide a neutral border that keeps attention focused on your message.
Black Snap Frames
Black Snap Frames create a stronger contemporary border and work particularly well with colourful advertising, photography, menu graphics and corporate signage.
Black poster frames are popular in modern offices, restaurants, cafés, retail stores, showrooms and other interiors where darker finishes complement the surrounding décor.
Wood Finish & Coloured Snap Frames
For businesses wanting something different from traditional silver or black aluminium, Display Me offers wood finish and coloured snap frames.
Wood-look snap frames provide a warmer appearance for restaurants, cafés, hotels, offices and hospitality environments, while our Coloured Snap Frames allow signage to complement branding or interior colour schemes.
Selected colours include white, red, gold and other decorative finishes.
Premium Round Corner Snap Frames
Our Premium Round Corner Snap Frames offer an alternative appearance to traditional mitred square-corner frames.
The rounded corner design creates a softer, premium appearance while retaining the same convenient front-opening system that makes snap frames so easy to use.
Outdoor Snap Frames
When signage is positioned in a location requiring greater protection, choose from our range of Outdoor Snap Frames.
Outdoor poster frames are designed to provide additional protection compared with standard indoor snap frames and are suitable for entrances, covered external areas and other locations where signs may experience changing environmental conditions.
Always check the specifications of the individual frame to ensure it is suitable for the intended location and level of weather exposure.
Lockable Snap Frames
For public spaces and areas where posters need additional security, our Lockable Snap Frames provide extra protection against unauthorised poster changes.
They are particularly useful in schools, universities, hospitals, apartment buildings, offices, transport areas and other high-traffic public environments.
Lockable poster frames retain the convenience of a professional wall-mounted display while providing greater control over access to the information inside.
Deep Snap Frames for Corflute & Thicker Signage
Standard snap frames are primarily designed for paper posters, but some signs require a deeper profile.
Our Deep Snap Frames are designed for thicker printed materials such as Corflute and other rigid sign substrates.
These frames provide the convenience and finished appearance of a snap frame while accommodating materials that would not fit inside a standard poster frame.
Snap Frames with Adhesive Tape
Where conventional screw mounting is not preferred, selected Snap Frames with Tape provide another installation option.
These frames are useful in appropriate locations where an adhesive-mounted frame is more convenient than drilling into the surface.
Always ensure the mounting surface and adhesive system are appropriate for the frame size, weight and intended application.
Our A3 Frames with tape are used to hold fire evacuation plans and block plans, and our A4 frames with tape are used in public areas because we use a high-quality foam tape on all 4 sides on the back of the frame.
Where Are Snap Frames Used?
Snap frames are used throughout Australia anywhere businesses need a professional poster display that can be updated quickly.

- Retail stores – promotions, sales, pricing and product advertising

How Do I Choose the Right Snap Frame?
Start by selecting the frame size to match your poster. Next, consider where the frame will be installed, how frequently the graphic will be changed and whether additional protection is required.
- Choose a standard silver or black snap frame for most indoor applications.
- Choose a wood or coloured frame when appearance or branding is important.
- Choose a premium round corner frame for a different architectural finish.
- Choose an outdoor frame where additional environmental protection is required.
- Choose a lockable frame where access to the poster needs to be controlled.
- Choose a deep snap frame when displaying thicker material such as Corflute.
- Choose a tape-mounted frame for suitable surfaces where screw mounting is not preferred.
