FAQs

Do poster command strips damage posters? ›

Sometimes removing command strips can leave the wall clean but damage the poster, but when used properly, command strips are a super quick and effective way to hang posters without damaging the hanging surface.

I've never had a problem using command strips provided you follow the removal directions. If you don't pull directly down they can take off a layer of paint but provided you pull straight down you should be good. They are also very versatile and live up to the recommended weight thresholds. They are also long lasting.

Finally, remove the blue liner and press the hook onto the strip firmly for about 30 seconds. The harder you press, the stronger the adhesive bond will be. Wait 1 hour before hanging anything on the hook. This allows the adhesive bond to reach maximum strength.

So which mounting product is the best? All will hang your posters, but some are damaging. Thumbtacks leave permanent holes in the wall and poster and even the best tape to hang posters may cause tearing. Poster tack and glue dots are the least damaging to the poster or the wall.

If you're wanting to hang up the likes of posters, photos and lights, it's best to use command strips rather than blu tack or cello tape as these things can leave marks on the walls.

Command strips can be beneficial during wall decoration as they enable you to hang pictures and other objects without harming your wall. However, if not removed carefully, the can result in peeled paint, sticky patches with leftover residue and in some cases, cracks in the wall.

Can I reuse Command™ Picture Hanging Strips? No, Command™ Picture Hanging Strips are for one-time use only.

For these hanging strips to stick properly, they need to be on a completely smooth surface. While it's tempting to try them out on a brick wall, and you might get lucky one day, they really aren't designed to work well on rough textures. So avoid using them on things like popcorn ceilings, concrete, or wood.

If you've ever wondered, "Why do my command hooks keep falling?", you're not alone. Incorrect installation and less-than-ideal environmental conditions can cause them to fail. For example, using them in high-humidity areas like bathrooms can weaken the adhesive over time.

To Apply. First, clean the wall with isopropyl rubbing alcohol by wiping gently. Don't use household cleaners like wipes or sprays because they leave behind a slippery residue.

Do not use Command™ Products on textured walls or surfaces, wallpaper, brick, rough or non-stick surfaces, or fabrics.

These are a really good solution for hanging posters. I have used them to hang posters mounted on foam board, which isn't quite as cool simply because you can't hide the strip behind (you have to leave a tab out to remove it from the wall).

These command adhesive poster strips can be used to display light items such as posters, calendars, schedules.

Sticky tack (also known as wall tack or blue tack) is a great, inexpensive option for hanging posters, but can leave grease marks or fail to stick properly if your hands or your wall aren't clean beforehand, and even the best tape for posters can become less effective when dust or dirt get involved.
