For a true 11x17 print or poster, choose an 11x17 frame without a mat. For smaller artwork such as 8x10 or 8.5x11, add a separately purchased mat with an 11x17 outer size and the correct opening. If the artwork itself measures 11x17 and you want a visible mat border, choose an 18x24 frame with a compatible mat opening for the artwork.
| Artwork size | Mat choice | Recommended frame |
|---|---|---|
| 11x17 | No mat | 11x17 frame |
| 8x10 | 11x17 outer-size mat with an opening for 8x10 artwork | 11x17 frame |
| 8.5x11 | 11x17 outer-size mat with an opening for 8.5x11 artwork | 11x17 frame |
| 11x17 with a visible mat border | 18x24 outer-size mat with an opening for 11x17 artwork | 18x24 frame |
A narrow 11x17 poster frame works well with tabloid prints, photography, graphic art and modern interiors. Choose an 11x17 gold frame for diplomas or formal artwork, an 11x17 black or white frame for posters and documents, or an 11x17 wood frame for a warmer presentation. Wider and ornate moldings create a more substantial display for artwork and statement walls.
Molding width changes both the appearance and the finished outside dimensions. Narrow profiles create a clean look for posters and photography. Medium-width moldings offer a versatile everyday presentation. Wide and ornate profiles add greater impact for artwork and statement walls. Review the molding width on each product page when fitting the frame into a specific space.
Choose a clean 11x17 frame for a poster, tabloid print, diploma, certificate or document, a classic 11x17 photo frame for photographs, or a decorative gold, silver or wood-look frame for paintings and wall decor. Selected imported wood frames are also available; review the material and production time on the individual product page.
