A proper frame can make a poster more attractive.
Posters can be used for decorative wall hangings in the home or office, or to convey information on topics mandated by law, such as workers' compensation. If matting is used, allowances must be made for its width. Otherwise, purchase frames the same size as the poster. If you can find a common size, it will be more economical since you will not have to pay for custom framing.
