Posters With Wooden Hangers: What They Are and Who They Suit
A poster with wooden hangers is a print held top and bottom by two wooden bars with magnets inside, so the paper is never pinned or holed. It suits renters and anyone who likes to change what is on the wall.
On this page
Hanger posters, sometimes listed as poster with wooden hanger products, are prints supplied with two wooden bars, one at the top and one at the bottom, that grip the paper with magnets inside. There are no pins or holes in the paper, and the print can be swapped at any time. The format suits renters, frequent redecorators and anyone who wants a changeable display without the cost or commitment of framing.
This guide explains how the format works, what arrives in the box, and what to check before you order. Everything about the product comes from the store's own records, so you can rely on it at checkout.
Who a hanger poster suits
The deciding feature is the mechanism. Because the two wooden bars hold the paper with magnets inside, the print is never pierced, and because the hangers come with the poster, there is nothing extra to buy. That combination makes the format a good match for a few clear buyer types.
The format fits best if you are:
- A renter who cannot put many holes in walls. Two hanger bars mean two fixing points, and the paper itself stays untouched.
- Someone who swaps art often. The print can be changed at any time without damage, so one set of hangers can serve several posters over the years.
- A shopper who wants the hangers included. The poster with hangers comes with its two wooden hangers, so there is no separate frame purchase and no trip to a framer.
- Anyone decorating a room that changes with the seasons, a child's room or a study where the wall display follows current interests.
If you already know you want this format, the collection of Morris posters with hangers shows the designs currently offered this way. If you are still weighing formats, the comparison below sets the four options side by side.
What to check before you order
Before ordering, it helps to know exactly what each format includes and how it is presented. The table below keeps every cell to what the store's records state, so you can check the details like with like.
| Format | What is included | How it is presented |
|---|---|---|
| Poster with hangers | The poster plus its two wooden hangers | Held at the top and bottom by wooden bars with magnets inside, with no pins or holes in the paper, and the print can be swapped |
| Framed poster | The poster in a frame | A solid wood frame that is 20 mm deep and wide |
| Unframed poster | The poster only | Printed on thick matte paper with a soft off-white tone, ready for a frame of your own, a clip, or a pin board |
| Canvas | The canvas on its own wooden frame | Printed on canvas and stretched over a wooden frame, with no glass and no mount |
Read the table by inclusion first. Only the framed poster includes a frame, and only the hanger poster includes hangers. Then read by presentation: the canvas is a finished object with no glass, the framed poster sits behind its solid wood frame, the unframed poster waits for your own frame or clip, and the hanger poster stays loose between two bars.
If you want a fuller treatment of the frame question, including mount and glazing choices, the framed print guide covers it in depth. For the hanger format itself, the choice is simpler: you are buying a changeable display, not a sealed one.
Hanger poster, framed poster, unframed poster and canvas compared
The four formats differ mainly in what is included and how the print is presented. The table below keeps every cell to what the store's records state, so you can compare like with like.
| Format | What is included | How it is presented |
|---|---|---|
| Poster with hangers | The poster plus its two wooden hangers | Held at the top and bottom by wooden bars with magnets inside, with no pins or holes in the paper, and the print can be swapped |
| Framed poster | The poster in a frame | A solid wood frame that is 20 mm deep and wide |
| Unframed poster | The poster only | Printed on thick matte paper with a soft off-white tone, ready for a frame of your own, a clip, or a pin board |
| Canvas | The canvas on its own wooden frame | Printed on canvas and stretched over a wooden frame, with no glass and no mount |
Read the table by inclusion first. Only the framed poster includes a frame, and only the hanger poster includes hangers. Then read by presentation: the canvas is a finished object with no glass, the framed poster sits behind its solid wood frame, the unframed poster waits for your own frame or clip, and the hanger poster stays loose between two bars.

Sizes and placement
The store does not publish one fixed size list here, so the reliable rule is the regional one: customers in the US and Canada see sizes in inches, and everyone else sees them in centimeters. Whichever unit your page shows, measure in that unit to avoid conversion errors.
For placement, remember that a hanger poster needs clearance at both the top and the bottom, because a bar sits at each edge. Measure the wall height with that in mind, not just the width. Our guide to measuring for a print walks through wall measuring step by step if you are working between two pieces of furniture or a picture rail.
Because the print can be swapped without damage, placement is also low-stakes. If a size turns out to be wrong for the wall, the same hangers can hold a different print later.
Care and longevity
Care for a hanger poster is the same as care for any paper or canvas print, and the store's guidance is short enough to follow from memory.
The care routine in four lines:
- Hang the print out of direct sunlight.
- Keep it away from damp walls.
- Dust it with a soft dry cloth.
- Never use water or cleaning spray on the paper or canvas.
The two rules that protect the paper most are the first and the last. Sunlight fades prints over time, and moisture or spray cleaners can mark the surface in ways that dusting cannot reverse. A dry cloth and a shaded wall will do most of the work.
Common questions
These are the questions shoppers ask most often before ordering a hanger poster, answered from the store's own product records.
Frequent questions
What comes with a poster with wooden hangers?
The poster and its two wooden hangers. The hangers are included with the poster, unlike the framed poster, which is the option that includes a frame, or the canvas, which comes on its own wooden frame.
Can I swap the print without damaging it?
Yes. The two wooden bars grip the paper with magnets inside, so the print can be lifted out and replaced with another at any time.
Do the hangers leave holes or pins in the paper?
No. The bars hold the paper with magnets inside, with no pins or holes in the paper itself.
Will the printed colours match what I see on screen?
According to the store's guidance, printed colours match the screen very closely but not exactly. Screens show colour differently, and matte paper reflects light more softly than a backlit screen.
How do I clean and care for a hanger poster?
Hang it out of direct sunlight and away from damp walls, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and never use water or cleaning spray on the paper or canvas.
