Z-Access™ Display Frames Make the Grade in the Classroom

CHICAGO, Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- School bells are ringing, signaling the beginning of another year filled with awards, artwork, projects, sporting events, and academic achievements. Don't let those precious reminders of a wonderful year fade away by placing them in a drawer. Instead, use Z-Access ™ Display Frames to keep the treasures on exhibit so they can be enjoyed over and over again.

The number of items and ways to showcase them in Z-Access™ Display Frames is limited only by the imagination. Some suggested uses of the innovative frames for parents, children and teachers:

Projects: Add a twist to the "what I did this summer" assignment by displaying treasures from the past several months. Suspend art and artifacts in the frames and use them to augment a report.

Awards: Present medals and ribbons from sporting events, outstanding report cards, academic certificates, and other honors accompanied by a photo of the winner or honoree.

Artwork: Protect and give a place of honor to "first" paintings, jewelry, ceramics and other three-dimensional art.

Class highlights: Photograph the class and collect keepsakes then put them all together for a "visual yearbook" of memories.  

Artifacts: Encase fossils, valuable memorabilia and other items for presentation during teaching moments.

Unlike ordinary photo frames or shadowboxes, Z-Access™ Display Frames suspend items so they can be seen in three dimensions and still be safely protected. Items are encased in clear, 6-inch by 4-inch footprint flexible frame inserts that conform to an object's contours, providing a cocoon that protects the items from dust, fingerprints, and moisture.

The secret to the novel frame is its proprietary film—the same kind used to protect high-end precision optics, crystals and prisms for scientific study. The film stretches to fit a wide range of shapes and sizes, resists punctures, will not damage delicate surfaces, and leaves no sticky residue.

"Z-Access™ Display Frames are an affordable and creative way to hold on to those cherished school year memories," said Megan Dunn, with the Lewibelle Company, which markets the Z-Access Display Frame. "They're equally adaptable for classroom work and fun, where thinking outside of the box might earn some extra credit."

The frames come in several styles and a variety of colors. Each frame can be displayed horizontally or vertically and holds flat or shaped items that weigh as much as three pounds. Two of the styles rotate 360 degrees; prices start at $19.99.

The do-it-yourself assembly is easy: just open the frame, place your item inside the film and close the frame. The memory film does all the rest. When you want to change the items displayed, just open the frame and make the swap. The film will reshape to fit almost any new item of similar depth. Film inserts also can be replaced.
