Recently, I have purchased several posters, but I do not have the funds (or the wall space) to have them framed. What is the best way to store posters?

    Probably the cheapest way possible:

    Go to Michaels or any arts and craft store and buy one of these:

    Put the posters in the middle with a sheet of acid-free craft paper in-between each poster and then just close up the two sides. The posters fit perfectly int he middle and are completely protected- and they will lay flat :D

    I keep all of mine rolled up but now I may flatten them out. This is a pretty sweet and cheap idea.

    Oh yeah, this reminds me of a local band....

    definitely flatten them. Over time having them rolled will harm the prints.

    I keep mine flattened in a cardboard portfolio container, and each one is separated by a large kitchen garbage bag.

    yep that is essentially what I do, I just bought a large hardcover book for 20 bucks and a roll of acid free tissue paper and piled them in there, I only have about 25 posters so it works fine, its a little hard to manage if you are going to be taking them out and showing them off or moving them around but if they are just going to sit there it is fine. If you do want to show them off an art book and Mylar sleeves will do you best
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    yeah except for most of the posters you would need a 24x36 one and that is 160 bucks! Too steep for some peoples tastes.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}
