Craig Frames 18x24 Black Picture Frame — Matte Black 1" Flat Profile, Shatter-Resistant Acrylic

The Craig Frames 18x24 Black Picture Frame is a modern, matte-finish wall frame designed to showcase 18x24 photos, posters, or prints with durable plexiglass protection and simple hanging hardware.

This 18x24 frame from Craig Frames blends a pared-back contemporary profile with resilient, lightweight materials so your artwork looks sharp without the frame drawing attention away. Built on a sturdy MDF composite wrapped in a smooth black laminate, the frame ships ready-to-hang with a shatter-resistant acrylic face and a rigid backing board. It’s handcrafted in the United States and inspected before shipment to ensure a clean finish and secure fit for prints, posters, and photographs sized for an 18 by 24 inch opening.

How does this frame protect my poster or photograph?

The frame uses a clear, shatter-resistant acrylic facing rather than glass, which reduces breakage risk and keeps the weight low for easier hanging. A rigid backing board holds the artwork flat, while the inner lip overlaps slightly to keep edges snug and square.

• Shatter-resistant acrylic face for safer handling and shipping
• Rigid backing board prevents warping of paper or thin prints
• Slight inner lip overlap secures artwork without adhesive
• MDF composite moulding wrapped in laminate resists moisture and scuffs

Can I hang it horizontally or vertically, and how easy is installation?

The frame is designed for both portrait and landscape display and includes a sawtooth hanging kit for quick mounting. Installation requires only basic tools and can be completed in minutes, making it suitable for single pieces or a multi-frame gallery wall.

• Included sawtooth hanger for straightforward wall mounting
• Lightweight construction simplifies repositioning and leveling
• Portrait and landscape orientation supported without extra hardware
• Ideal for grouping multiple frames into a coordinated display

What aesthetic and size details should I expect?

Featuring a flat, contemporary profile approximately 1 inch wide, the black laminate finish gives a crisp, neutral border that complements a wide range of interiors. The viewable opening sits slightly under 18x24 due to the inner lip, so the piece is held securely while still presenting most of the image area.

• Contemporary 1-inch flat profile for minimal visual distraction
• High-quality black laminate for a smooth, matte appearance
• Viewable area slightly reduced from full 18x24 by the inner lip
• Works with posters, photos, prints, and certificates sized for 18x24 frames
