Benefits of technology

[0008] The integral poster frame preferably is created from a rectangular template that preferably is made of a cardboard material, sulfated pasteboard, metal pasteboard etc. The template preferably includes a folded perimeter with slots and cuts localized to create walls similar to that of a frame to provide a sense of depth, resistance and stability.

[0017] Yet another objective of this invention is to supply this integral poster frame that has more resistance, more durability and a better image that that possible with the prior art.

[0019] Finally, another objective of this invention is to have low manufacturing costs, which will result in a lower sales price for a more durable poster.

Problems solved by technology

Sometimes when fixing the poster on a surface, nails are used and this increase the likelihood that that the poster will be ripped.

These posters typically have a short durability, because the posters are easily ripped or destroyed making them difficult to move from place to place when the adhesive on the tape wears out and the tape is removed resulting in damage to the appearance of the poster.

Besides, the perception of this type of printings is completely flat, so it does not give the impression of depth that is normally desirable.

To give the perception of depth, another type of poster has wooden frames which can be covered with resins, but this type of posters are very expensive and are heavy making it more difficult to place them anywhere.
