Posterhänger

Framing is expensive. Posterhanger appears to be a simple, elegant way to hang posters.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks Dan.

Having used one of these some time ago, I do not think they are as genius as they look. My poster always slipped out of its frame and since the size is fixed, you may not be able reuse it when your new poster has a different size.
My recommendation would be some Tesa Power Strips.

So, I’ve seen “Best viewed by browser X” type notices on many sites, but I’ve never seen one like this:

“For the best viewing experience at Posterhanger.com, uncheck the ‘buttons bar’, ‘address bar’ and ‘favorites bar’ in your browser’s ‘View’ menu (or ‘address bar’ and ‘bookmarks bar’ if using Safari)”

Hmm… makes me want to put on my site:

“For optimal viewing experience, grab a cold brew, kick back, fire up your twin 20” flat panel displays, crank up your favorite mp3 and voila, my site will rock”…

It’s a nifty idea, but hardly revolutionary. I bought a smilar device from Big W for my son’s Spiderman poster a while back. (Big W is like K-Mart.)

The poster hasn’t fallen off the wall yet!

I’ll go with seb on this one. I never had any problems with Tesa Powerstrips so far. Simple and effective.

Tesa Powerstrips look to be the equivalent to 3M Command Strips. Is Tesa sold in the US? Never seen them before. Did they license 3M’s tech? Just curious…

Posterhanger is pretty neat, but I think you could easily buy a cheap poster frame for a lot less. For one 24” poster hanger it’s about $23 shipped.

I don’t think Tesa sells their products in US, but the 3M Command Strips seem to do the same. But I’m not sure about the license… although Tesa must have invented it.

Hooray for Danish designers. Simply the best, they make me proud.
