How to flatten your new print

All of our size A3, A2, A1 and A0 prints are rolled inside an acid free protective sleeve. Once rolled and protected the prints are then placed inside a ridged postal tube ready to be shipped all over the world.

Below are a couple of methods that you can use to flatten out your new prints so they are ready to hang in a frame.

How to flatten your new print

Method 1:

1. Pull the cap off the top of the tube.
2. Remove your poster from the tube by tipping it until it slides partly out.
3. Remove the Tape from The plastic Sleeve (do not remove the print from its protective sleeve).
4. Roll the poster out on a clean, flat surface so that it’s design is down, But please leave the print still inside it's plastic sleeve so that the print is protected.
5. Secure each corner of the plastic sleeve with tape or stickers to the flat surface so that it's design is down.
6. Leave this for 24 hours.
7. Remove the tape from the corners to reveal a flat print.
8. Carefully remove the print from the protective sleeve by sliding the print out from the sleeve. If you have gloves wearing them at this stage can help prevent you from marking the print while handling the paper.
9. Your print should now be ready to hang in a frame, If you don't have a frame yet please leave the print inside it's protective sleeve to protect your image until you are ready to frame your new print.

Method 2: Weigh the Poster Down

1. Repeat steps 1 & 2 from method 1.
2. Roll the poster out on a clean, flat surface so that it’s design is down, But please leave the print still inside it's plastic sleeve so that the print is protected.
3. Place something heavy on each corner and in the middle to weigh it down. Books work particularly well but make sure that the weight is even over the print.
4. Leave this for 24 hours.
5. Remove the weights to reveal a flat print.
6. Carefully remove the print from the protective sleeve by sliding the print out from the sleeve. If you have gloves wearing them at this stage can help prevent you from marking the print while handling the paper.
7. Your print should now be ready to hang in a frame, If you don't have a frame yet please leave the print inside it's protective sleeve to protect your image until you are ready to frame your new print.

If i could give more than 5 stars I would. If we were rating in bananas it would easily be 8 bananas. It is in my office and gets comments every call I go on. Goes perfectly with my signed merch above too. If you are on the fence, buy it. It is one of the coolest pieces of art I have.
