simple guide on how to properly post posters on different surfaces

After poster printing, your next hurdle should be how to post your posters. You may think that this is a relatively easy and even mundane task when printing posters, but actually the attachment of your posters is also something that you should take seriously. You cannot just post posters nowadays. With the myriad of locations and surfaces that you must post on, you need the proper tools and know-how before going around placing your posters. Your money in printing posters will only be wasted if you can post them properly.

So luckily for you, we have created this simple guide on how to properly post posters on different surfaces. Just follow the tips below and you should have no trouble.

For bare walls. If you want to post your color posters on a bare wall, there are a lot of options to do it. Anything from nails, tapes and adhesives can work for them. Since bare concrete walls or wooden walls should have no coatings or anything you should have an easy time placing your posters in them. For a nice and firm posting of your posters however, try to use a liquid adhesive to attach the poster to the wall. Adhesives provide the best and most airtight fit for poster attachment; you will find that it is very hard to remove a poster from a bare wall using it. So if you need a poster for a long time posted in a bare wall, liquid adhesives are your best option.

For bulletin boards. For bulletin boards that are specifically designed to contain posters and flyers, the best option is the one that should be already there in the board. Typically steel or metal pins are provided with bulletin boards so that people can post things into the board. The board itself is usually made of cork-like material so that the pins can easily puncture the board wall, setting the posters in place. As a standard procedure though, always bring your own pins when posting your poster so that you would not have to take from the board owner.

For painted/coated walls. When you need to place a poster on painted or coated walls, it is best to lay off on adhesives and tapes altogether. Especially for walls coated with wall paper, your posters may cause damage to the wall, once you tear them down. The adhesives in the tape or on the poster itself can actually stick to the paint or coating too much that it can tear them off the wall. So when you arrive at this situation your best strategy is to use nails, or something similar like screws. This will let you place your poster into the wall whilst doing minimal damage to the poster itself. Only a hole or two should be left after you remove your poster. If you are lucky, there might already be holes in the wall that other posters used earlier.

For glass surfaces. Finally, where working on glass, your best option for placing your posters is to use those little suction pads with hooks. These types of attachment hooks are easily available in hardware shops and other supply shops for posting materials. The suction pads can be quickly attached to a glass surface along with a little moisture while you attach the poster via its hooks on the opposite side. In this way, you do not damage the glass whatsoever, and you do not leave any kind of adhesive residue behind.

Great! Hopefully this helps you on the proper way to place your posters on different surfaces. As you can see each kind of surface has the perfect attachment process for it. So follow these tips well and you should have no problems with distributing your poster printing.
