Key Features

• Exact fit for 18x30 prints: The frame is made to fit an 18' x 30' or 30' x 18' print so the artwork sits flush and requires minimal trimming or adjustment.
• Finished size adds presence: With an actual finished outer size of 20' x 32', the frame adds a modest border that helps the piece read like a framed work on the wall.
• Durable MDF construction: The soft black MDF mold provides a consistent, matte appearance that pairs well with both color and black-and-white images.
• Economy acrylic glazing: The included acrylic protects the print while keeping weight down for easier mounting and safer handling.
• Included hanging hardware: A wire hanging set is provided so the frame can be mounted immediately without extra trips to a hardware store.
• Practical rabbet and lip dimensions: The 0.4375' rabbet and 0.25' lip accommodate standard poster thicknesses and hold the artwork securely behind the glazing.

Who It's For

The ArtToFrames 18x30 frame suits artists, students, and homeowners who need a low-cost yet attractive solution for framing posters, prints or diplomas sized 18' x 30'. Its simple soft black finish works with modern and traditional interiors and is especially handy when a lightweight glazing option is preferred for wall mounting.

This frame is less appropriate for collectors who require museum-grade glazing or thicker conservation backing. If you need heavy UV protection, nonreflective glass, or deep archival spacing for thick canvases or multi-layered artwork, consider a different, conservation-focused frame.
