Sometimes, the artwork that you want to hang is not a formal painting with a frame but just a poster or a banner. A poster can give a casual but elevated look to a home or a living area, especially if you choose the poster with care. Banners are great in business environments if you need a display that can be changed every now and again.

Where Are Posters and Banners Hung?

Posters of old movies and plays can be interesting to put up in your home. Not surprisingly, many students like to put up posters in their dorm rooms or their student apartments. It's a cost-effective way to decorate your space in such a way that you can take it down any time, in case you have to relocate.

Banners are seen in many commercial spaces. One good example is the banners you see for special exhibits in museums. These special exhibits come and go, unlike the museum's permanent collection. So they generally use banners to display the names of the exhibits. Additionally, you'll see banners in theaters, trade shows, outdoor markets, department stores etc.

How Do You Hang Posters/Banners?

A poster can be hung with the help of a Snap Track Rail Poster Hanging Kit which basically consists of two rods that snap on to the top and bottom of the poster. These can then be hung on the wall or the ceiling. Similarly, a banner can be hung with a Fit Surface Banner Hanging Kit which attaches to the top and bottom of your banner, enabling it to be hung from a wall or the ceiling.

You can also use some of the same hardware that you use for formal artwork to hang posters, such as cables, cable rods, rails, clamps, standoffs etc. When it comes to banners as well, there are other options such as the Zurich Suspension Kit (similar to what you see in department stores for the signs in each aisle), the Classic Suspension Kit and various types of clamps.
