Popular movie posters are an undeniable cultural phenomenon. They line the walls of offices across America, and help give visitors a feel for the personality of a business or individual. Hanging movie posters is a fast and easy way to add style to your office décor, liven up a waiting room, or make a dramatic statement.
As popular as they are, however, many people spend more time tracking down their favorite movie posters than they do hanging them. This can create problems down the line, not only with your décor, but also, with your investment!
Hanging a poster neatly with an acrylic poster holder offers several benefits over slapping it up with tape or putting it in a glass frame. First, it makes the poster easy to transport and re-hang if desired – all you have to do is take it down from the wall. There is no glass to break or exposed surface to damage.
Second, hanging your movie posters in acrylic poster holders helps protect a potentially valuable investment from damage that occurs over time, due to dirt, improper handling, and normal wear and tear. If a poster in your collection becomes worth a considerable amount of money down the line, you will want your copy in mint condition. Save yourself regret later by using poster holders now, and protect your collection from frayed edges, creases, dents, folds, and other damage that can decrease your posters’ value, but don’t worry about a poster that arrives from the manufacturer already folded – this is a common occurrence, and no knowledgeable collector will count such a fold against you!
Finally (and this should be obvious), displaying your artwork with care gives your office a sophisticated feel, and visitors the impression that you are careful in business, too. Even if your poster collection is worth millions of dollars, hanging it in a careless way using tape or other destructive adhesives can lead visitors to think you are messy, inattentive, or inexperienced – and the millions you spent on the posters won’t matter a dime. Don’t risk making a poor impression. Hang your posters with acrylic holders and rest assured your office looks professional
In the end, what is the point of using acrylic poster holders? No, it is not to treat your posters with obsessive care, just in case they become collectibles; it is to display your collection tastefully, and put your best face forward…
