What is a good way to hang posters on a wall?

I used to use tape but then the posters ripped . Does anyone know a way to hang them with the posibility of re-hanging them somewhere else later?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Tape was never strong enough for me, so I tried tack (that gummy stuff you put on each corner to stick it to the wall) and that wouldn't hold for very long either - plus, if you get colored tack, it can stain your walls.

Personally, I swear by 3M strips:

They're very gentle on your posters, and you can just pull them off when you're done and reuse your poster someplace else. They're available at any general store, like Target or Walmart.

Either that, or you can buy some cheap frames (like from Hobby Lobby or Target or something), and that works too. I'm trying to "upgrade" the juvenile look going on in my room by framing all my posters. (It's... kind of working, lol.)

Try using the Elmer’s Tack Adhesive Putty. These are great adhesive for hanging poster based on reviews I've read at epinions.com.

Over the years I have tried all different types of poster putty / wall tack / adhesive putty - what ever you choose to call it and I’ve found that the Elmer’s Tack Adhesive Putty is one of the best for ‘all purpose’ types of things. When my brood wanted to hang posters in their rooms this was what I picked up for them to use, there was no way I was handing them a roll of tape! To me poster putty is poster putty - as long as it doesn’t stain the walls or ruin what ever you are hanging, it’s something that I will buy over and over. I’ve found so many uses for this around the house that it’s become a true staple the pun to getting things done, fixed or from tipping over.
