A rolled-up poster can be seen as a problem for most people when it has to be framed. Here you can find some tips to flatten your poster.
Have you ever experienced the frustration of receiving a poster in the mail only to discover that its rolled up tightly like a hedgehog? Don’t worry, my friend because there is a solution, to this issue!
First and foremost it’s important to understand that posters tend to curl up due to the way they are packaged and stored in tubes. This can create a “memory” effect where the poster stubbornly maintains its curled up shape when taken out of the tube.. Fear not flattening your poster is actually quite simple!
To begin with, gently roll your poster in the direction of the curl. Carefully wrap it around the outside of the tube. Keep it secured using rubber bands. Allow it some time like this for a few hours and presto! Your poster should gradually become flat again.
If your rolled-up poster still appears wavy after following these steps don’t be discouraged! Lay it face down on an level surface then place a board on top. Add some objects such as books to hold it down firmly. Keep it in this position for a while longer. Before you know it your poster will be as flat as can be. Just, like a pancake! Are you feeling frustrated because your poster just won’t stay flat? No worries there are some remedies to solve this problem! First flip the poster down. Put a towel on top. Then gently iron over the towel using heat being careful not to touch the poster. This will help relax the paper fibers and remove any curls. Another option is to sandwich the poster, between two books for a hours. Once you take it out your poster should be smooth and ready to be displayed. So don’t let a bothersome curl spoil the appearance of your poster. With a patience and these easy methods you’ll have it looking as good, as new in no time!
