Puzzle Frame

Puzzle Frame

Puzzle Frame is a specialized type of picture frame designed to securely display completed two-dimensional puzzles. These frames accommodate the puzzle's irregular surface, often using adjustable backing or spacers to ensure the puzzle pieces remain in place without damage. Puzzle frames allow enthusiasts to preserve and showcase completed puzzles as decorative artwork.

Applications

• Display: Protects and presents completed puzzles as wall art or tabletop décor.
• Preservation: Secures puzzle pieces using a firm but non-damaging backing to prevent shifting or warping over time.
• Customization: Often accommodates puzzles of varying sizes and thicknesses, including standard cardboard or specialty puzzles.

Design Features

• May require gluing puzzle pieces together with a binder such as Mod Podge.
• Alternatively, glass or acrylic glazing protects the puzzle from dust and UV light while allowing clear visibility.
• Puzzles may be mounted to a pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed foam core mounting board.
• Puzzles that are mounted to a board may then be matted like a regular print.
