2 Ways to Flatten a Rolled Poster, Uncurl Poster Video Tutorial | instantprint

When you order a poster, it normally arrives in a cylindrical tube. This can cause the poster to curl, making it difficult to hang or frame. The good news is that this can be easily fixed with one of two easy methods. This video shows you how to flatten or uncurl a rolled poster.
Although we’ll always roll from the long side of the poster meaning it’s easier to flatten when it arrives, sometimes there will still be a slight curl.
Method 1: Roll the Poster Back on Itself
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. Do not try and pinch or pull it out from inside the tube as this can cause wrinkles and creases.
3. Roll the poster out on a clean, flat surface so that it’s design down
4. Carefully roll the poster around the outside of the tube, the opposite way to which it has previously been rolled
5. Secure with a sticker or rubber band
6. Leave this for an hour
7. Remove band or sticker and unroll to reveal a flat poster

Method 2: Weigh the Poster Down
1. Repeat steps 1 & 2 from method 1
2. Roll out the poster on a clean, flat and hard surface like a table
3. Place something heavy on each corner and in the middle to weigh it down – books work particularly well
4. Leave for 24 hours
5. Remove weights to reveal a flat poster
