Question
Do I need to frame my poster, or can it be displayed as-is?
Answer
You do not have to frame a poster, but a mount or frame changes both the look and how long it lasts. The right call depends on the setting and how temporary the display is.
- Unframed: fine for short-term promotions and quick swaps, lowest cost.
- Mounted: bonded to a rigid board so it stays flat and rigid without a frame.
- Framed: arrives ready to hang for a polished, lasting presentation.
- Heavy foot traffic: mounting or framing protects edges from curling and tears.
