The resultant back-printed glass-like effect of our poster panel is a classy way to display your communications in a corporate office.
Acrylic Sandwich Frame: Detailed Description
“Times change very easily. Your communications should be even easier to change.”
The above statement very aptly describes the scene in a typical supermarket or retail store. With products going in and out of trend, it’s important for the store team to constantly recalibrate and promote their best offerings.
A major challenge in showcasing and promoting these top offerings is the selection of a medium for communication. The traditional approach to inform people about products and offers is to get vinyl wallpapers and sunboards printed and fixed on the walls. However, this approach is effort-intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, it requires a skilled fitter/installer.
A more convenient and better-looking alternative is an acrylic sandwich board.
What are Acrylic Sandwich Boards?
As the name suggests, an acrylic sandwich display frame is made of two sheets of clear acrylic. The actual communication/poster to be displayed is placed between these two sheets. These sheets, since they are made of clear acrylic, give a great glass-like look, minus the weight or handling hassles of glass.

Why Use Acrylic Sandwich Boards?
- Easy to install and maintain: Acrylic sheets are extremely lightweight and easy to handle. Apart from a one-time installation effort, they can be easily maintained and kept clean. With acrylic sandwich sheets, you get the clarity and finish of glass, without the associated weight.
- Easy to update communications: The poster/communication within the acrylic photo frame can be easily changed without any special expertise involved. This doesn’t require you to call a specialized fitter/installation expert and can be easily done by one of the staff/team members
- One-time investment: You pay for the acrylic frame once. After that, the only recurring cost is printing new posters for your products, offers, etc.
- Looks impressive: Half of the visual appeal of the print comes from the fact that it is clear and clean to look at. Acrylic, also known as perspex sheets are very clear plastic sheets which look just like glass. The other half is a result of a 3D effect achieved, wherein the print looks like it’s floating away from the wall.
You might wonder, “How is this floating photo frame effect achieved?”. Read on to find out.
Construction of Acrylic ‘Floating’ Photo Frames
An acrylic sandwich frame is made of the following basic components:
- Base Acrylic Sheet: Typically of 3 mm or 5 mm thickness, this serves as the base plate on which the photo print is mounted. The entire acrylic frame setup rests on the base plate.
- Top Acrylic Sheet: 3 mm thick, this plate sits atop the photo print. This plate gives the sandwich acrylic board a visually great and shiny finish. This plate can also easily be unscrewed to remove/replace the print within.
- The print bearing the advertising communication: This high-resolution photo print is placed/sandwiched between the base and top plates. This is usually a print on photo vinyl or high-resolution poster paper. We also laminate the print to increase its life.
- Floating Acrylic Photo Frames: A major part of the panel’s appeal comes from the floating effect achieved by having the print at a small distance from the wall. For this, small metallic cylinders are first drilled into the wall. The entire frame rests on these cylinders. They create a gap by effectively raising the acrylic frame away from the wall. Hence these cylinders are also referred to as ‘risers’, in hardware stores. The base plate, print, and top plate are placed on the risers.
- Holes for the risers and stud caps: An acrylic frame has four 10 mm holes on the corners. An inch-long risers/cylinders (as described above) are fitted beneath each of these holes. The risers are hollow and you can screw in a cap screw or stud in it. The two sheets of acrylic and the print within, are held between the riser and stud cap. The stud caps on top hold everything in place. All these components together make for an impressive 3D acrylic floating photo frame that highlights the print well and gives an impressive look and feel to the entire panel.
- Crystal edge for the frames: The acrylic sheets are cut on our laser machine. This gives them a very smooth and even finish. This gives the acrylic poster frames a ‘crystal edge’ that looks very good when viewed from the side.
How Easy Is Changing the Prints in an Acrylic Sandwich Frame?
As easy as 1, 2, 3, 4…
- Unscrew the stud caps on the corners of the sandwich acrylic frame
- The top sheet is now removable
- Replace the print inside
- Put the top plate back in its position, and screw in the stud caps
This process is quite simple and can be performed by anyone at your store/office. Changing the print should take you less than 5 minutes in all. This is what makes the acrylic poster frames such a convenient solution for stores where the speed of execution matters.
