You can use our floater frames with thin panels. (More info below). But you may also want to consider our “Panel Frames” . Those are meant specifically for thin panels. The website has diagrams of the moulding’s exact profile and how the artwork goes in the frame.
To attach your panels to these frames you will need either glue or double-sided tape or velcro circles or tape. We do not include any hardware. If you want to use glue, the choice of glue will depend on the material of your panels. Wood glue should be a good choice for most anything, including paper. E6000 Adhesive is another good choice. For foam core and other such lighter materials, we use ATG tape. You may be able to use other kinds of double-sided tape as well. Home Depot and Michael’s both sell some strong and thin, two-sided tapes that will work nicely. Finally, some customers report good results with velcro circles and tape you can buy at craft stores. Some customers are using a product called “Elmers Poster Tack” to attach their panels into the frames. It’s easy to use and totally re-usable.

Now for the floater frames… We have a lot of customers who are putting relatively thin panels in our 1.5” deep floater frames. There are several options; they all boil down to somehow propping the panels up by putting some sort of shim/riser in the back. You simply need to prop up your artwork from the back with some cardboard, or foam-core, or wood. Small triangles in the corners will be enough. Once you have the desired height, then, depending on the method you used and your preference, you can then attach the artwork to the panels with glue, double-sided foam tape, or even one-sided tape that's wide enough to stick both to the back of your artwork and to the inside of the frame. You'll need to get a little creative.
