22x34 is a popular, ready-made poster size you’ll see a lot in dorms, game rooms, and bedrooms. Frames on this page are designed for posters labeled 22x34, and some list openings around 22.375 x 34 to account for slight poster variations and the frame’s lip.

• Good for mass-market posters: Many entertainment and event prints are printed near this size.
• Usually used without a mat: A 22x34 frame typically fits the poster edge-to-edge.
• Check the exact measurements: Measure your print before buying, since trims can vary by publisher.

If you want a mat border around your 22x34 poster, consider stepping up to a larger outer frame and a mat with a 22x34 opening.

Poster frames come in several widely used sizes, though availability can vary by style. If you’re browsing, you’ll often see:

• 18x24 – popular for art prints and smaller posters
• 22x34 – common for entertainment and dorm posters
• 24x36 – a frequent choice for large posters

Tip: These sizes refer to the artwork dimensions, not the visible area (which is slightly smaller due to the frame’s lip). Measuring your poster first helps match it to a ready-made frame. If your print doesn’t match a standard size or you want a mat, you may need a larger frame plus a mat with the right opening size for your poster.

There are several cost-conscious approaches that can still look polished:

• Choose ready-made frames: Standard sizes like 22x34 tend to be more affordable than custom framing.
• Go lightweight: Frames with plexiglass/acrylic fronts are typically lighter and can be easier to hang.
• Pick slim profiles: Thinner frame styles often cost less and have a clean, modern look.
• Skip the mat: Framing edge-to-edge keeps materials simple and reduces extras.
• Buy sets when possible: Multipacks can be helpful if you’re doing a gallery wall.

Ordering online and selecting convenient fulfillment options can also help you plan around timing and reduce extra trips, but availability can vary by location.

1. Flatten your poster: Lay it on a smooth surface to remove curl.
2. Measure edge to edge: Use a tape measure across width and height. Note the size to the nearest 1/8 inch.
3. Compare to frame size: A 22x34 frame is designed for posters labeled 22x34. Some frames list slightly larger openings and have a lip that covers a small border.
4. Check orientation: Make sure the frame can hang vertically or horizontally to suit your artwork.
5. Considering a mat? If you want a mat around your 22x34 poster, choose a larger outer frame plus a mat with a 22x34 opening. The mat opening is typically cut a bit smaller to hold the poster in place.

Measuring first can reduce returns and helps you pick the best fit.

Both can work well, and the better fit depends on your space and priorities:

• Plexiglass/acrylic: Lightweight and shatter-resistant, which can be helpful in high-traffic areas or for larger frames. It’s easier to hang and move, but may scratch more easily.
• Glass: Often more scratch-resistant with a hard surface and a traditional feel, though it’s heavier and breakable.
• UV protection: Some acrylic or glass options include UV-filtering features that can help reduce fading over time.

Care tip: Use a soft, lint-free cloth. For acrylic, avoid ammonia-based cleaners; a mild soap-and-water solution can be gentler. Spraying the cloth (not the glazing) helps avoid moisture seeping into the frame.
