The Ultimate Guide to Selfie Frame Printing

Written by Tradeprint Blog | Feb 3, 2026 2:31:50 PM

Picture this: a sea of smiling faces, phones raised high, perfectly framed memories flying across Instagram and TikTok and your brand, event or message right in the centre of every shot. That’s the magic of custom selfie frames, and they’re more than just a fun prop, they’re a versatile tool to boost engagement, visibility and memorability.  

What Are Selfie Frames? 

Selfie frames are large-format, printed boards with a cut-out centre that guests, customers or attendees hold up in photos. They’re printed with whatever artwork you choose: a logo, hashtag, colourful design, themed message or campaign detail. They turn every photo into a custom piece of visual advertising that’s built for social sharing.  

Why Use Selfie Frames at Your Event? 

Selfie frames are a brilliant blend of fun and function. Here’s how they elevate occasions and campaigns: 

  • Encourage social buzz - people love sharing photos. With a striking selfie frame, attendees become your brand ambassadors when they post their pics online.  
  • Boost brand awareness at events - exhibitions, trade shows, launches and corporate functions get colourful, shareable visuals that carry your message far beyond the venue.  
  • Stand out in retail spaces - grab attention in store environments or pop-up shops with frames that draw customers into photos and memories.  

These are not limited to business use, because they are easy to design using our online designer, and they are perfect for celebrations. Many people like a custom touch to celebrations like birthdays, weddings or anniversary parties.  A custom selfie frame offers an extra layer of fun and personality.  

Tailor Your Selfie Frame with Custom Printing 

We make designing and ordering selfie frames super simple with these options: 

  • Flexible materials: Choose from 10mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex or lightweight 4mm Correx ( a type of corrugated plastic), depending on how durable you need the frame to be.  
  • Sizes that suit your space: Pick A1 for personal shots or go larger with A0 for groups and big, bold moments.  
  • Orientation choice: Landscape or portrait to match your design and your event vibe.  
  • Lamination finishing: Add single-sided gloss or matte lamination for extra protection and visual pop. Lamination can protect the print and help with longevity, as these will be handled a lot. 
  • Easy online design: Upload your own artwork or use our online editor to create something eye-catching. Our free design tool has lots of free-to-use stock imagery, AI upscaling tools, patterns, backgrounds, common design elements like emojis and a free QR code generator that helps you to design just the right style.  Alternatively, upload your own designs or photos.  There is a very handy 3d preview within the designer, so you can see how your design looks before printing.

 

Ready to Print & Share 

Once your artwork is ready, our platform handles the rest. Selfie frames are printed single-sided and constructed to hold up at events and photoshoots alike. We’ll send these out with free delivery, so the price you see on the page is the price you’ll pay.  

If you’re aiming for a playful photo booth prop or a branded marketing asset, custom selfie frame printing turns every snapshot into a shareable story. 

Top tip: Include your event hashtag or social media handle in the design to double the impact when people post their pictures online, making your selfie frame a digital and physical bridge to your audience.
