Frame System

Abstract

Disclosed is a frame system for displaying an item. The frame system includes a panel, a panel cover, a central viewing portion and a back sheet. The panel includes an inner periphery and an outer periphery. The inner periphery defines the central viewing portion. The panel cover may be disposed on a rear face of the panel and removably secured thereon by a first adhesive. A portion of a rear face of the central viewing portion in proximity to the inner periphery may be coated with a second adhesive. The back sheet may be disposed on a rear face of the central viewing portion and removably secured thereon by the second adhesive. Removal of the back sheet enables the item to secure to a rear face of the central viewing potion and removal of the panel cover enables in detachably mounting the frame system with the item on a surface.
