Plastic Sleeve to Hang Art
May 18, 2019 6:47 PM Subscribe
I was at a friend's place and she had art hung on her walls in thick clear plastic. She thought she might have gotten them from an art gallery and called them 'plastic sleeves.' She said she liked them because she could change out of the art from the sleeve and not invest in expensive frames for each piece. They hung art of varying sizes. I didn't manage to get a picture but any help tracking something like this down would be great. My googling has failed me.
Was it flexible or hard? In college, I used to get these clip frames that were pretty cheap, acrylic or glass front with a press board back and then clips that hold it together. They look frameless.
Search for clip frames or here’s something called Swiss clips. Does that look right?

Not inexpensive, but if being able to easily change out the art is a big part of why you’re asking, these things are Da Bomb.
