Caring for Your Movie Posters
Your movie poster is a piece of motion picture history and should be afforded the same care and
respect that any historical artifact might be given.
The three major destabilizing and destructive elements associated with these paper products are:
Direct Sunlight - Always keep your posters out of direct sunlight, as these UV rays will
fade the printing inks used in their manufacture. When framing a poster, always try to use
archival or museum mounting elements such as U-V -resistant plexi-glass and acid- free
mounting boards and mattes.
Moisture - Always try to keep your posters from any contact with water or moisture such
as extreme humidity. Moisture will not only stain and mildew your poster, but it will also
deteriorate the elements used in its manufacture.
Heat - Always avoid storing or displaying posters in overly hot environments, as these
elements will make the paper fibers brittle and will darken them making your posters
brown in the process.
In caring for your movie posters, there are various handling and storage techniques to that should
be used.
Folded Posters - For any folded poster, the folding and unfolding should be avoided, as
that will eventually weaken the paper fibers and cause separation and tearing. For the
post-1960s glossy stock posters, the folding is especially harmful, as the color will flake
and fall off on from the fold lines with excessive handling. If a poster is rolled or has
never been folded, under no circumstances should it be folded. It is best to store all
posters unfolded and flat.
Linen Backed Posters - Any poster that has been restored by mounting it on archival
linen should be stored flat. The rolling and unrolling will eventually cause wear on the
poster.
Paper Backed Posters - Any poster that has been restored by mounting on Japanese or
archival paper should be stored flat, as the rolling and unrolling will cause the fold lines
to reappear in the paper.
By all means, when having a poster framed, take the poster to a knowledgeable framer who has
experience in archival museum mounting and framing. Never let a framer heat mount, or
3. adhesive mount your poster to flatten it! Anything done to frame the poster must always be
reversible with no damaging effects.
