Now offering shrinkwrap framing

Posted on 01. Jan, 2011 by admin in Blog, NEWS

After I preserve and restore my movie posters I have them shrink wrapped. I find that this type of framing is not only cost effective, but it ensures the posters remain flat and protected against dirt and smudges. To shrink wrap a poster you secure it to a heavy cardboard board with small pieces of tape, you than put the poster board in a bag made of thin plastic film. The film is than melted with a heat gun until it is stretched air tight. The finished product is a light, durable framed poster that presents very well on a wall. If at any time in the future you want to sell the poster you can simply cut the plastic and remove the poster. There is no glass or wood to discard and perhaps most importantly, the cost is a fraction of traditional framing.

For years, I had hundreds of my posters shrink wrapped at a firm in Toronto, everything from inserts to three shteets. Recently I learned the shrink wrapping process and now offer it as part of my services at Backingtothefuture. If you would like to find out more about shrink wrapping please send me an email.
