Over the years I have supplied many restaurants and clubs with movie posters
and framing. I had a shop here in my area that was a 50's diner theme. They
took all the movie posters, lobby cards, etc., and glue them to the walls. They
were in business for about 20 years and recently closed, leaving all the
posters on the wall. Most of the posters were not in good shape anymore, having
had food or drink splashed on them, kids that tried to peel them off while
sitting in the booth, etc. There were several titles, though, that were much
more valuable titles today than they were when I sold them to them in the 80's.
Lot's of 50's sci-fi and hot rod type movies. So, when the place was being
redone for a new shop in the space, all those posters were ripped off the wall
like wallpaper would be and trashed....oh well... I use to work with the Hard
Rock Café chain doing the same thing and am happy to say, the owners were smart
enough to spend the money to preserve all the items they purchased and continue
to purchase.

if your poster is worth less than $100-$200 and isn't rare, i think you should
just get a big pot of paste and slap it up on the wall as the billboard gods
intended.
i would not recommend this approach for Casablanca, but I have a couple of
common or garden 6s that - if they ever go up - will be in a blaze of pasty
glory.
before anyone gets upset and calls the Feds' special poster abuse line, i'm
talking about titles like Walk Don't Run.

Yes Doug...that is another option. Six sheets are problematic, let alone
extremely expensive to custom frame. I do often have 6 sheets linenbacked and
have them leave about 3" of excess linen and then stretch it on a stretcher bar
the way you would a painting. That gives you something to hang it up with.
However, you have to build a good stretcher bar with supports in the middle of
the square so the poster doesn't sag over time. The fabric is a bit different
in it's characteristics when it has paint on it. Paint acts as a natural
sealant and doesn't allow the fabric to stretch much. Paper mounted to the
fabric doesn't do the same thing so, unless it's stretched properly, it can
keep on stretching and sag. Of course, the poster displayed this way, or any
way, without a plexiglass covering, does leave it susceptible to junk in the
air or something getting spilled on it, especially if you
have little hands in the house that like to touch everything. I had a
customer once who had a very expensive title he wanted to hang without the cost
of framing. It was a poster worth well over $20,000. Framing was about $3000.
My feeling is if you have something of that value, you just got to spring for
the framing to protect it......

I have an extra few inches left on the LB all the way around and have it
painted black or some appropriate color and then mount it to a stretcher board.
Pretty inexpensive and looks great on the wall. Regards DBTProfile From: MoPo

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Hanging a Six Sheets This is a common way that I recommend
to customers also. Once the grommets are in place you can even hang it, like a
tapestry, with decorative chain. One thing to do is put grommets in the bottom
two corners and middle
also and then put a wooden dowel behind the bottom of the excess linen, put
washers ands screws through the front of the excess linen and now you have a
weight to hold the poster from rolling up on you from the bottom....good luck.

To: [email protected]'s a cheap way, if they left at least 1"
all the way around. Get some circular metal grommets and have someone cut
matching size holes in the top, and put around five or six across the top. Then
put hooks in the wall and voila!It is not perfect, and your poster will pick up
dust and dirt, but it is cheap and quick. On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 3:23 PM,
