Quick answer
To display the Gnome Forest poster without damage, frame it with a mat and UV-protective glass, then hang it away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Why framing matters for this poster
The Gnome Forest poster is an offset print measuring 12 x 18 inches, a standard size that fits readily available frames. Offset prints have a smooth finish that can be prone to scratching, so a frame with a mat or glass is essential to protect the surface.
Because it's an official Pizza Tower poster illustrated by ADE, you'll want to preserve the colors and detail. UV-protective glass or acrylic helps prevent fading, especially if you plan to hang it in a bright room.
Choosing the right frame
A 12 x 18 inch print fits perfectly in a frame designed for that exact size. For a more polished look, choose a frame with a mat that adds a border—this also keeps the print from touching the glass, which can cause sticking over time.
If you prefer a minimalist style, a simple black or white frame without a mat works well, but ensure there's a small gap between the print and the glass using spacers or a frame with a deep rabbet.
Step-by-step framing and display guide
- Measure and choose your frame: Measure the poster (12 x 18 inches) and select a frame that matches. If you want a mat, choose a frame with a mat opening slightly smaller than the print so it holds the edges. Check the frame's actual inner dimensions—some frames labeled 12x18 have a smaller viewing area.
- Mount the poster safely: Use acid-free mounting tape or corners to attach the poster to a backing board. Never use glue or permanent adhesive directly on the print, as it can cause damage. Acid-free materials prevent yellowing and discoloration over time.
- Add protective glazing: Use UV-protective glass or acrylic to shield the poster from sunlight and reduce fading. For extra safety, add a mat or spacers to keep the print from touching the glass. UV protection is especially important if the poster hangs in a room with windows.
- Hang and position: Hang the framed poster at eye level, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high-humidity areas like bathrooms. Use wall anchors if the frame is heavy. Avoid hanging above radiators or vents to prevent warping.
