Keeping your games safe

Learn more about how Frame-A-Game protects your games whilst on display.

A big part of what makes the physical game market special is making sure these games stand the test of time. That's why Frame-A-Game frames are built not just to show off your favourite titles, but to let you pop them out easily whenever you fancy a playthrough or want to lend one to a mate. Each frame is carefully handcrafted with the long-term care of your collection in mind. You'll find the full process outlined below, and if anything's unclear, just drop us a message.

It's all in the details

What to do when you receive your frame

How is the game case secured?

The game is safely held in place by the mounted slipcase. This plastic container holds the game case safely in position, so the game is never adhered to anything.

Inserting the game case

As the slipcase is secured to the mountboard, all you have to do is slide your game case in and close up the tabs. Your game case is 100% removable whenever you wish to take it out.

How is the disc secured?

Similar to the game case, the disc never makes contact with anything that can damage it. Instead, a spindle is stuck in position on the mountboard which allows you to safely clip on (or off) the game disc.

The disc always has clearance

When the game disc is attached to the spindle, there will always be clearance from the mountboard below, and the game case (if you have The Combined Range style).

Putting it all together

Once the game case and disc are in position, all that is left to do is put the mountboard back face down in to the frame and finally replacing the wood backboard behind it before pushing down the metal frame teeth.

Hang your new art piece

All frames come with a sawtooth fixing which easily allows you to hang your new framed game to your wall. You can also use Command strips as an alternative method.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep my games safe?

Discs are secured via a spindle (think PS1 disc drive attachment mechanism), so you can easily clip on and off the disc whenever you need.
