I was about ready to lose my mind until I tried your Command Poster Strips. I moved into a new classroom five years ago. I teach science so I have a large lab/classroom. About 98% of the wall surface in my classroom is painted cinder block. When I saw this large white box of a room I was excited to add my personal touch with posters and charts. I spent an entire day before our back to school open house decorating my classroom with my posters/charts and heavy duty book tape. Once I was pleased with how my room looked I left for the evening.
Upon my arrival the next day I found almost all of my posters laying on the ground. In some cases when the posters had fallen they landed in such a way that they folded up and the tape was now sticking to the front of the poster. When I tried to pull the tape off of the poster the picture came right along with it ruining the poster. I was VERY upset that I had wasted SO MUCH time and also money since a number of posters had been ruined!
After trying several other types of tape, rubber cement, and adhesive crafters glue I was about to give up. My students would be stuck with a large white box for a classroom, rather cell as this is how it felt.
AH HA! When walking through our local super store one day I spied your 3M poster strips. I thought, "Why Not?" It was certainly worth a try. I was SO EXCITED to find that your poster strips were the solution to my problem. I am now starting my 5th year of teaching in this classroom and my posters are still hanging! I have also used your wall hooks to hang a larger periodic table chart and some holiday lights at Christmas time.
I can't thank you enough for your amazing Command products. 3M has so many GREAT products for the classroom. Thank you for ingenuity!
I'm a renter, and a homeschooling mom. We have LOTS of charts, posters, calendars, weather station... you get the idea. Lots of "stuff" to go up on walls - that we'd really rather not damage and then have to pay repair fees.
A bottle of rubbing alcohol, cheap bag of cotton balls and a little elbow grease get my school room looking like a million bucks thanks to 3M Command Adhesive strips. When we had to move mid school year last year, all the posters came down easily (after being up for 5 months) without so much as a fleck of paint off the walls.
This product will forever be a staple in our schooling. Thank you, 3M, for making life SO much easier!!!!
Many years ago, I received a sample of 3M's Poster Strips (a new product at the time) and decided to give them a try. Wow! I was truly impressed. I have purchased them every year, and have since gotten several colleagues "hooked" on them as well. They're fantastic! I use the Poster Strips every year to decorate my classroom. They hold all year long and come off quickly and easily in the spring without damaging the walls or cupboards. I even use them for short term displays because they won't damage the student work or posters either. Thank you for a wonderful and practical product! I will continue to use 3M's Poster Strips, and always tell new teachers about them!
