Poster holder case, help finding a supplier please?

[David Wilde]

We have bought loads of these over the years from various sources. Its fair to say you get what you pay for (which is also the case with pavement signs and such).

My advice is to buy from an established business such as UKPOS and resist the temptation to buy lower cost offerings from the likes of Amazon and Ebay.

Also, on amazon and ebay, buying the more expensive listing doesn’t guarantee quality either.

Signwaves do a nice selection of lockable cases, good quality too

About to buy a dozen or so 40×60″ frames, so we can extend a gallery to an external space.

The plan is to drill a set of mounting points so we can switch the frames from portrait to landscape or square (yes, more frames will be needed…) as shows change.

I’m looking for suggestions for the mounting points – some sort of hollow bolt, that we can cap off when they’re not holding the frames. The walls are seriously solid red brick.

Prints will be mounted on 2mm ACM with a laminate, frames 38mm profile from Signwaves.

Thanks.

We got a new 18v DeWalt hammer drill and some decent Bosch masonary bits. Makes fitting stuff a doddle. It smashes through red bricks like butter. Cost £220 all in but well worth the money.

Threaded wall anchors / drop in wall anchors

[Richard Wills]

Thanks Colin, like the idea of the drop in anchors. As soon as I know the size of the fitting holes in the frames, I’ll get some ordered in.

Life is so much simpler when someone else tells you what a thing is called.

do you mean an actual sign Frame Richard, or a poster holder?

Could you not drill the mortar/cement, rather than the brick?

[Richard Wills]

Robert, you’re right, these are the snap poster frames, similar to ones we installed years ago outside our old gallery. Signwaves have confirmed that these will take 2mm DiBond.

Once we get the frames in, we’ll be able to see if they’ll line up with the mortar, but the two which we currently have up, removed from the old site (can no longer find the supplier details) didn’t line up.

Thank you everyone for your replies and help. I ended up going with UK Point of sale and had the frames the next day. a very quick and painless process. 😍
