Take A Look At This Incredible ‘Star Wars’ Poster That’s Eco-Friendly

One of the reasons Star Wars has had so much staying power is merchandising. In 1977, Kenner Toys famously sold what amounted to a fancy IOU. Recently, while browsing the internet I came across Displate a company that makes metal signage with 3d printing technology that they refer to as magic. Displate is full of unique designs and different sizing options, so I decided to order one of these posters In a large size with a frame for my office. 

Unboxing

Most fans of any pop culture phenomenon needing to collect its merchandise will tell you; the unboxing experience can make or break a product. Displate understands that concept incredibly well. The box was carefully packaged and several layers of cardboard protected the new poster. The layers of packaging were reminiscent of Christmas Day when your parents would wrap a gift with layers upon layers of wrapping paper.

When I first found Displate, I wasn't sold on the idea of a metal poster. After having my new poster over my desk for a few days I have to say the design is striking. The way the art catches the light in the texture of the poster's image creates unique accents for each piece Displate makes. And of course, being made of metal gives the poster a premium look that old-fashioned wall art would be hard-pressed to beat.

But the most interesting thing about the posters is the mounting system. Displate does away with the nails and trying to hang a frame without seeing the hook. Instead, they opt for a magnetic mounting system that attaches with ease that can be moved around your home. Personally it made hanging the poster and making sure it was level a whole lot easier.

Final Thoughts

Overall I remain pleasantly surprised with the visage of Darth Vader sharing his favorite management strategies hanging over my work desk. The idea of an affordable and high-quality piece of art for fans of almost any franchise is one that any collector can get behind. Displate makes the process simple and easy to use. Their shipping was fast and the poster came packaged in such a way that it nearly guarantees it will arrive in great shape. If you're interested in your very own piece of unique art from Displate you can find them on Displate’s website.
