Recently acquired a production made "poster" and it's a weird size. Wanna get it framed but def wanna protect it from further discoloration. Can anyone recommend a website or shop that's not crazy expensive that does UV plastic or glass?

it could be cheaper to look at standard acrylic/glass/perspex and then apply a film such as this over it.

But good idea.
I've used Frame Destination many times for custom frames. It's still not cheap for larger sizes, but the most affordable quality option I've come across.
Cheers! Got any pics of stuff you've gotten from them? I'd love to see a finished product. I was looking at them earlier.
Not a great pic, but all the posters shown here are in their frames. I always get the metal frames (I think these are all Neilson 117 profile) with UV-filtering acrylic.
That looks gorgeous.

have used Hollywood Poster Frames for some high quality movie art, lithographs and One-Sheets.
They do UV Acrylic in custom sizes and varying frame styles from Economy to Deluxe.
Susan is the person I have dealt with there and she is very responsive and precise in her questions about custom orders and types or art being framed.

Here’s an example with and without flash of UV Non-Glare acrylic. Non glare is excellent in person. You can see the flash origin in the 2nd pic but it does not create a glare on the picture.
Also great instructions come with frame and very easy to install artwork.

Did they used to be WholesalePosterframes.com? I feel like I remember their UV acrylic being just slightly "frosted" so no glare but didn't actually protect from UV. Great print BTW.
I'm framing this from Scott Pilgrim and the paper is very thin and I don't want it to yellow.

I’m not sure about that, really don’t know. Sorry. However when I click the link you provided it goes to sight called frameiteasy.com
I know that in person at least to me the acrylic doesn’t look frosted. If you email them they could probably give you a pretty good amount of detail.
Thanks
