Choosing the right route

Which display option is right for you?

The best choice depends on the kind of poster you have, the look you want to create and how tailored you want the final display to be.

Poster type

Best for double-sided posters

Light boxes are especially well suited to specific double-sided posters, where illumination becomes part of the display.

Finish and effect

Best for a tailored or more dramatic result

Choose custom framing when you want a more considered collector finish. Choose a light box when you want stronger illuminated cinema impact.

Budget

Best for a lower-cost route

Ready-made frames are generally the more accessible option for selected standard poster sizes and simpler display decisions.

Simplicity versus flexibility

Best when you want either less guesswork or more choice

Ready-made frames suit a more straightforward route for compatible sizes, while custom framing offers more flexibility across formats, finishes and presentation choices.
