Magnetic Poster Frames & Writable Display Frames
Display posters while keeping important information flexible and easy to update with Display Me's range of Magnetic Poster Frames. Unlike a conventional poster frame, selected magnetic frames feature a steel magnetic backing behind the poster and protective cover, allowing magnets to be positioned on the front of the display to hold additional notices, cards, labels and other information over your main poster.
On selected models fitted with a polycarbonate protective cover, the front surface can also be written on using a suitable whiteboard marker. This creates an extremely versatile display that can combine a permanent or semi-permanent printed background with magnetic information and handwritten updates.
Our range includes A4 and A3 Magnetic Poster Frames, A2 and A1 Steel-Back Magnetic Snap Frames, large Magnetic Hospital Frames and replacement magnetic frame covers.
What Is a Magnetic Poster Frame?
A magnetic poster frame is a wall-mounted display designed to hold a poster or printed background while also providing magnetic functionality.
On steel-back models, the magnetic backing sits behind the poster and clear protective sheet. Magnets placed on the front of the display are attracted to the steel backing through the poster and protective cover.
This means you can display a main printed poster while attaching additional information over the top using magnets.
For example, a hospital could use a permanently printed patient information background and then position temporary notices, cards or information over selected areas using magnets.
Display a Poster & Attach Information with Magnets
The major advantage of a steel-back magnetic poster frame is that the poster does not have to be your only layer of information.
Once your main poster or printed background is installed, magnets can be placed on the front of the protective sheet to hold additional items such as:
- Patient information cards
- Temporary notices
- Staff information
- Safety messages
- Labels and headings
- Instruction cards
- Checklists
- Promotional information
- Small photographs or printed cards
- Information that changes regularly
This allows the main printed background to remain in position while smaller pieces of information can be moved, added or removed whenever required.
Writable Polycarbonate Magnetic Frames
Selected magnetic frames use a clear polycarbonate protective cover. In addition to protecting the poster underneath, the polycarbonate surface can also be written on with a suitable whiteboard marker.
This creates a practical multi-purpose information display:
- Poster display – place a printed poster or designed background inside the frame.
- Magnetic display – position magnets on the front to hold additional information over the poster.
- Writable display – write temporary information directly onto the polycarbonate surface with a whiteboard marker.
The result is a highly flexible communication board that can combine permanent information, temporary magnetic inserts and handwritten updates in one display.
Why Use a Magnetic Poster Frame?
A standard poster frame is excellent when the entire graphic is replaced each time information changes. A magnetic poster frame provides additional flexibility because selected information can be updated without replacing the main background poster.
This is particularly useful where some information remains constant while other information changes frequently.
For example, you could print permanent headings, branding and sections onto the main poster and then use magnets or whiteboard writing for the information that changes from day to day.
Magnetic Frames for Hospitals & Healthcare
Magnetic Hospital Frames are particularly useful for healthcare environments because patient and departmental information often contains both permanent and regularly changing content.
A professionally designed background can remain inside the frame while staff use magnets to position temporary information over the top.
Where a polycarbonate cover is used, information can also be written directly onto the clear front surface with a whiteboard marker.
This makes magnetic frames useful for:
- Patient communication boards
- Ward information
- Patient goals
- Staff information
- Daily updates
- Safety and quality information
- Departmental notices
- Procedures and instructions
Large Magnetic Hospital Frames
Display Me offers large-format Magnetic Hospital Frames in approximately 1200 x 900mm and 1790 x 900mm.
These larger displays provide substantial space for multiple sections of information and are particularly useful where hospitals or healthcare facilities need one central communication display rather than a number of smaller individual signs.
Selected hospital magnetic frames combine a steel magnetic backing with a polycarbonate front cover, allowing the printed background to be protected while magnetic information is attached over the front and handwritten information is added using whiteboard marker.
Create a Custom Hospital Communication Board
A magnetic frame works particularly well when used with a custom-designed printed background.
The background can contain permanent elements such as:
- Hospital branding
- Department names
- Section headings
- Instructions
- Fixed graphics
- Permanent information fields
Information that changes can then be positioned over the background using magnets or added directly to a writable polycarbonate cover.
This makes it possible to create a professional communication system without redesigning and reprinting the complete board whenever individual information changes.
Magnetic Frames for Safety & Quality Boards
Large magnetic frames are also ideal for Safety & Quality Boards, compliance information and workplace communication.
A printed background can establish permanent sections for different types of information, while individual documents, notices and updates can be attached using magnets.
This provides an organised alternative to pinboards where information needs to look professional and remain clearly structured.
A4 Magnetic Poster Frames
A4 Magnetic Poster Frames provide a compact solution for posters, notices, evacuation diagrams and information displays.
A4 is ideal where information needs to be displayed close to the viewer, including office notices, instructions and smaller workplace signs.
Selected A4 magnetic frames are available in silver and black finishes and provide an attractive alternative to a conventional A4 snap frame.
A3 Magnetic Poster Frames
A3 Magnetic Poster Frames provide additional visibility while remaining compact enough for most office, hospital and commercial environments.
A3 is particularly useful for evacuation diagrams, workplace information, hospital communication, promotions and public notices.
Silver and black options are available across selected A3 magnetic frame products.
A2 Steel-Back Magnetic Snap Frames
Our A2 Steel-Back Magnetic Snap Frames combine the easy poster-changing operation of a snap frame with a magnetic steel backing.
The four aluminium sides snap open from the front, allowing the main poster to be changed without removing the frame from the wall.
The steel magnetic backing also provides additional flexibility for magnetic signage and information.
A2 frames are available in selected silver and black finishes and can be installed in portrait or landscape orientation.
A1 Steel-Back Magnetic Snap Frames
A1 Steel-Back Magnetic Snap Frames provide a larger-format solution for posters, advertising, workplace information and magnetic signage.
The larger display area makes A1 suitable for information that needs to be clearly visible from a greater distance.
Like the A2 version, selected A1 models combine a front-opening snap frame with a steel magnetic backing, providing more versatility than a conventional poster frame.
Use Magnets Over the Poster & Protective Cover
One of the most useful features of steel-back magnetic frames is the ability to attach information over the poster and protective sheet.
The steel backing remains behind the poster, while the magnet is positioned on the front. The magnetic attraction passes through the layers between them.
This allows you to:
- Add information without opening the frame
- Move information to different positions
- Remove temporary information quickly
- Keep the main poster protected
- Combine printed and magnetic information
- Create a more flexible communication board
Write Directly on Polycarbonate Covers
Where the magnetic frame is supplied with a suitable polycarbonate cover, you can also write directly onto the clear surface using a whiteboard marker.
This is especially useful when information changes frequently and does not justify printing another card or notice.
For example, staff can add:
- Dates
- Names
- Daily goals
- Temporary instructions
- Status information
- Short notes
- Updates
The permanent printed background remains protected underneath while temporary written information appears over it.
Use suitable whiteboard markers and follow the cleaning recommendations for the particular protective cover.
Magnetic Frames for Offices & Workplaces
Magnetic poster frames are also useful in corporate offices, factories, warehouses and workplaces where information is regularly updated.
Applications include:
- Staff communication
- Safety information
- KPI boards
- Production information
- Procedures
- Compliance notices
- Schedules
- Temporary announcements
A permanent printed template can establish the overall layout while magnets and whiteboard writing are used for information that changes.
Magnetic Frames for Schools & Education
Schools, universities and training facilities can use magnetic poster frames for timetables, classroom information, safety notices, announcements and other frequently changing communication.
Magnets make it easy to position additional sheets and cards without pins, while selected writable covers allow temporary information to be added directly to the display.
Magnetic Frames for Retail & Commercial Displays
In retail and commercial environments, magnetic frames can be used for promotions, product information, pricing, announcements and advertising.
A permanent promotional background can remain in the frame while magnetic labels or additional information are placed over the top when required.
This can be particularly useful for promotions where the basic artwork remains unchanged but prices, dates or offers need regular updating.
Magnetic Poster Frame vs Standard Snap Frame
Both magnetic frames and standard snap frames provide professional poster displays, but a magnetic frame offers additional functionality.
- Standard Snap Frame – ideal for displaying and regularly replacing complete printed posters.
- Steel-Back Magnetic Frame – allows a poster to be displayed while additional information is attached using magnets.
- Writable Polycarbonate Magnetic Frame – allows magnetic attachments plus temporary whiteboard-marker writing over the printed background.
If you simply need to change complete posters regularly, a conventional snap frame may be sufficient. If information needs to be layered, moved or updated regularly, a magnetic frame provides greater flexibility.
One Display – Three Ways to Communicate
Selected magnetic writing frames provide three different ways to display information in one system:
- Printed Poster or Background
Use the protected poster for permanent information, graphics, branding or headings. - Magnetic Information
Place magnets on the front to hold cards, documents, labels and temporary information over the main poster. - Whiteboard Writing
On suitable polycarbonate covers, add temporary handwritten information using a whiteboard marker.
This combination makes magnetic writing frames particularly versatile for hospitals, workplaces, safety boards and other information systems where content changes regularly.
Portrait or Landscape Magnetic Frames
Selected magnetic poster frames can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Portrait mounting is ideal for traditional posters and information sheets, while landscape mounting provides additional horizontal space for communication boards, diagrams and information divided into multiple sections.
Check the individual product specifications before ordering if a particular orientation is required.
Silver, Black & White Magnetic Frames
Display Me's magnetic frame range includes different finishes to suit commercial interiors.
Silver magnetic frames provide a neutral aluminium appearance suitable for offices, retail, education and general commercial environments.
Black magnetic frames provide a stronger contemporary border around posters and graphics.
White magnetic hospital frames create a clean appearance particularly suited to healthcare and medical environments.
Indoor Magnetic Poster Frames
Most magnetic poster frames in this category are primarily intended for indoor use.
Standard protective covers may not be designed for prolonged exposure to UV, rain or weather conditions.
For external signage, select an outdoor-rated poster frame or lockable outdoor display specifically designed for the required environment.
How to Choose the Right Magnetic Frame
Consider how you intend to use the frame before choosing a model.
- A4 Magnetic Frame – smaller notices, evacuation diagrams and information
- A3 Magnetic Frame – medium-sized information and communication displays
- A2 Steel-Back Magnetic Frame – larger posters with magnetic display capability
- A1 Steel-Back Magnetic Frame – large advertising and information displays
- 1200 x 900mm Hospital Magnetic Frame – large healthcare and workplace communication boards
- 1790 x 900mm Hospital Magnetic Frame – extra-large magnetic and writable information displays
If whiteboard-marker functionality is required, select a model with a suitable polycarbonate writing cover and check the individual product specification.
