Why We Built the Exhibit Stand (And Why Frames Were Never the Answer)
When we set out to expand the Frame-A-Game product range, the brief seemed simple enough: give collectors a way to show off the front and back of their games at the same time. A fully transparent, 360-degree view of the box art, the spine, the back cover, all of it, without compromise.
The obvious starting point was a frame. We make them, after all. But the more we interrogated that idea, the more we realised a frame is the wrong tool for the job entirely.
Here is the problem. A frame is designed for the wall. Its entire purpose is to present one face of something flat. The moment you try to use it to display a physical game box with the intention of giving you the option to view all angles, you are fighting against what it was built to do. You are either covering up part of the artwork with adhesive strips or blocking the back of the case with a magnetic dock. The back of the game might as well not exist. That is not a display solution, it's actually a compromise dressed up as one.
We are not interested in selling compromises.
So we tested. We went through multiple options, considered the market, and built something from the ground up that actually solves the problem rather than working around it. The result is the Exhibit Stand.
The Exhibit Stand gives you a full 360-degree view of your game. Front, back, spine, all visible at once. There's no adhesive. There's no mounting hardware obscuring the artwork. Nothing between you and the box art except clear, UV-protective acrylic, the same material we use across our entire frame range. Because yes, the UV protection carries over. Your artwork is shielded from the slow fade that sunlight causes over months and years, which matters a great deal when you are talking about limited editions, collector's copies, and titles that are simply not being reprinted.
Beyond the protection, the Exhibit Stand is genuinely easy to live with. Accessing your game does not require you to take anything apart or pull something off a wall. It sits cleanly on a shelf, a desk, or a display unit without looking like an afterthought. And for those who want to take things a step further, you can add an engraved plaque to personalise it, the same option available across the Frame-A-Game range.
We built the Exhibit Stand because we got tired of seeing collectors spend good money on products that only tell half the story. A game box is an object worth looking at from every angle. Now you can.
