We recommend a few small nails, several pins, or high-quality double-sided tape. The paper does not tear easily, so nails are unlikely to rip through it unless it's pulled on. It has a laminated coating, so most tape will peel off cleanly.

Why is it double-sided?

The printing cost is only a little higher to print on both sides and it reduces the tendency for it to curl. So we might as well! This gives you more options to buy 2 and display both sides - but change your mind later and put them into different classroom spaces.

Do you have other sizes?

Yes! We have the "giant" 53" x 27" double-sided version for classrooms and a smaller 40" x 20" single-sided version for offices, bedrooms, and workshops.

About the Author and Creator

Theodore Gray personally collected samples of every single stable element in the periodic table and photographed them. He didn't always settle for a pure clump of metal. Many of these photos have a story, from the ancient Greek silver coin to the radium-imbued watch which started to kill factory workers.

These photos and videos are the first complete collection of their kind and come together to form an unforgettable wall poster that brings chemistry and materials into real life.

Theo has given us the exclusive rights to print and ship these posters to you.

Great product, but the surface is too shiny

I bought the periodic table poster, and it looks great if your room has no windows or other sources of light. However, during the day, half of the table becomes unreadable due to glare. I have to close the blinds and cover my lamps just to make it readable. Please consider printing it on matte paper with higher contrast rather than gloss lamination. Other than that, it is a very cool product. The delivery was fast, and the service was excellent. One more thing: please review your marketing approach. I received more than 10 promotional messages from your shop. I can delete them, of course, but I did not expect to get so many.

Thanks Eugene! Sorry about the emails. I checked, and I see 3 that were our new subscriber intro/resources. The rest were order confirmation, shipping confirmation, product care instructions, and delivery notifications. Let me know if there is something else I'm missing! And great feedback about the gloss as well. The top priority was a protective laminated finish. We'll sample some matte finishes before the next run.
