3 Ways to Get Creative with Your Posters

In retail, posters are a way of life. They are versatile and need to meet these criteria:

  • Eye-catching
  • Easy to install or hang
  • Easy to change
  • Cost-effective

For cost-effective and eye-catching posters, it’s important to start with the right paper. For latex, solvent, and UV, LexJet Satin Poster Paper 200g has a bright, white satin finish, is water-resistant, and at $0.14/sq. ft., this is the perfect alternative to expensive photo papers that are frequently used for temporary graphics.

For aqueous printing, consider LexJet 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper, an instant-dry satin paper that offers fast turnaround for those last-minute requests.

Installing, hanging and changing retail graphics need to be easy, because professional installers are rarely used for seasonal merchandising or store remodels. Posters are eye-catching because of paper and print quality and final application.

Here are three different ways to create easy-to-install temporary posters:

Face-mounted Window Graphics – Window advertising is important in retail marketing, and posters can create interest before the customer even walks through the door. Use LexJet CrystalClear-X Removable Adhesive to install face mounted posters that are designed to capture the eye of passers-by. The removable adhesive offers air-channels for easy, bubble-free installation.

Hanging Graphics – Showcase your graphics with Poster Snapper Hanging Rail. Quick and easy to install, this economical aluminum hanging system is a snap to use.

Mounted Graphics – If you are displaying posters on a substrate like posterboard, PVC, or foam boards, consider a self-adhesive product like LexJet Production Satin Photo Paper PSA for aqueous or HP Prime Matte Air GR for latex and solvent. Print the graphic, stick it to the substrate and your posters are ready to shine.

One Printed Poster, Three Creative Applications

To show how simply you can offer a variety of ways to display retail posters, we took one design and finished it three ways: a hanging poster, a mounted print and a face-mounted window graphic. Watch the video above to see we achieved three different looks, and check out the products we used:

Hanging Poster:

Aluminum “snap” poster displays feature a quick, snap-open design that allows for fast and easy poster changes. Combined with 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper, you get an economical, hanging system with a clean and elegant look.

Mounted Print:

LexJet Production Satin Photo Paper PSA is perfect for photo-realistic posters that can be mounted to any substrate, like poster board, PVC, foam boards or aluminum. With a one-step adhesive, it’s a simple solution for mounted prints.

Face-mounted Window Poster:

LexJet CrystalClear-X Removable Adhesive and 8 Mil Production Gloss Photo Paper are ideal for temporary window applications. The air flow release liner provides easy bubble-free installation and no-residue removal.

The CrystalClear Adhesive Solution for Temporary Signage

Ideal for temporary window displays in retail spaces and restaurants, the next generation of LexJet CrystalClear-X Removable Adhesive is now available. This clear 2.5-mil polyester is easy to use with bubble-free installation thanks to the air-regress channels that allow air to escape when applied by hand. Also, there’s no residue left behind when it’s removed.

CC thumbTo use this adhesive, wash the glass or acrylic with soap and water (not window cleaner), rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. The air-flow release liner (on the blue grid side) is the removable side that you’ll adhere to the window. The solid white liner reveals the permanent adhesive that attaches to your graphic. It’s a great option for temporary promotions, menus, permits and licenses, and it works well for backlit displays, too.
