Idea to mount posters on windows

[bigben]

Voici une traduction naturelle en anglais, prête pour un post sur un forum :

---

I have clients who order posters to put in the windows of their stores — mostly retail chains and restaurants.
At first, I sold them bars they could stick to the glass with suction cups, but the staff kept breaking them.

Now I’m using optically clear tape with one permanent side and one removable side, but that tape is really expensive.
The clients would like a way to store their posters so they can reuse them. So tape is a bit tricky.

My tape supplier recommended a 1" clear tape that’s removable on both sides. I ordered a sample to test, but I’d like to know what you guys use/recommend.

Thanks!

Ben

10mil synthetic paper. Size vary from 24inx36in to 60inx48in.

I used to do quite a few grocery store windows and they always taped them up in the four corners with scotch tape. They generally didn't keep them as prices would always change.

In my case, prices are not written. For example, a promotion 2 for the price of 1. The promo come back every 2 months or so. This is why they want to re-use them.

Static cling, like 7mil GF208 might be another option.

I did try that. But got complaints from my customers employees it was too hard to install ( yeah, i know). Plus when they took them off, they never been able to put it back on the liner properly or they lost the liner between promotions.

Clear plastic grommets in the corners of the poster (grommets made for paper posters). Use suction cups with hooks on them.

If you are already printing on a paper or a synthetic of sorts, try the brand new Spot On Duo from Dyrtac. It comes in 51" rolls OR it comes in 2" wide rolls of "tape". It has a permanent side which goes to your print and then it has the "dot" adhesive side that goes to the window. You can cover the entire print with the 51" or you can run a stripe across the top and the bottom with the 2" tape and easily apply to the windows. This stuff is AWESOME!!! You can pick it up from one of the Drytac distributors up north. https://www.drytac.com/product/spotonduo/

I like the idea. I think i saw those a few years back. Do you have a link? My concern about the suction cup is I had problem with them before falling in hot temperature or with condensation in the winter.

I really like the idea. I know the spot-on product and try to use drytac products as much as I can. My main concern will be when they remove and store the the poster. They will have to keep the liner or maybe it can be just roll out and clean if debris stick on it. I will talk to my drytac rep about this. But I like the idea.

Put the signs on something a little stiffer and hang them with decorative string or chain from above and roll them up for storage.

People want everything cheap, but then they want you to figure out how to polish a turd.
