Store Posters Flat When Possible

Flat storage in archival portfolios, flat files, or archival boxes can reduce unnecessary stress and help protect posters from folds and creases. Use acid-free and archival materials whenever possible.

Tubes Are for Transport, Not Long-Term Storage

Shipping tubes are excellent for transportation but are generally not the preferred solution for long-term storage. Prints stored rolled for extended periods can develop significant curl.

Control the Environment

Avoid excessive humidity, heat, direct sunlight and other environmental conditions that can accelerate paper deterioration. A stable environment is preferable to dramatic fluctuations.
