Acrylic Framed Prints

Acrylic frames are a modern way of displaying posters, photos or artwork. They are incredibly popular because they do not distract the eye away from the image in fact they enhance the image which sits within the frame.Acrylic photo frames are now available as ready made kits or available from a select few websites offering a print and frame solution.

So what are the components that make an acrylic framed print or sometimes referred to as a acrylic sandwich frame. Acrylic sandwich frames are made up of two acrylic panels usually 5mm to keep the cost down and are then held together with sign supports usually referred to as standoffs. The standoffs are attached to the wall to hold the sandwich of panels together which traps the images within the centre. This allows the image to be easily changed as the image is not permanently fixed to the acrylic panels.

Acrylic panel frames can usually be made into any size although the most poplular sizes are standard photographic sizes such as 8x10 inch, 12 x16 inch and 18 x24 inch. The back panel on the frames is usually a coloured panel most popular is black or white but other coloured perspex is sometimes available upon request. The image usually sits within the centre of the panels therefore the back panel is visible creating a border around the image.

If you are looking for a modern stylish frame then acrylic frames are for you. They are stylish and enhance any image that sits within an acrylic panel frame. For competitive prices and high quality acrylic framed print take a look at theimagebox.co.uk.

Acrylic panels are incredibly durable and will not shatter like glass, this makes them ideal for public spaces.

Another advantage of acrylic photo frames is that they can be easily cleaned and wiped over.
Clean lines cool fixings and modern fixings make acrylic prints the ideal choice for anybody looking to make a real statement with a piece of artwork or image.
