Attaching title/price cards to metal screen walls

Normally I use adhesive velcro coins to attach title/price cards to my Armstrong display panels, but the next show I'm doing provides aluminum mesh walls for us, so that method won't work. And aluminum isn't magnetic, so I can't use adhesive magnet tape on the backs, either. What's the usual best way to attach title cards to metal screen walls? Double-sided adhesive?

  • I have used picture hanging putty in the past for price cards. I have even used it on Flourish mesh walls. It is easily removable. Just pull of a very tiny bit and roll it into a ball. Press it on the back of your card and press the card against your wall or mesh screen. Galleries sometimes use this stuff, and there are many brands. I got mine at Michaels but here is a link for Amazon so you can see what it's like. http://www.amazon.com/Elmers-Removable-Adhesive-Orange-E625/dp/B000...

  • I use bobby pins.

  • Thanks, but I'm sorry, see my OP: velcro specifically WON'T work here, because velcro doesn't attach to metal. Drapery hooks are how I will hang the art itself, but you can't exactly put a hook into a title/price card.

    I'm leaning toward buying tabs of double-sided adhesive tape, but I don't like that they're not removable/re-positionable. Once they're stuck on, they're on, no rearrangement.

    • We always used drapery hooks - basically made little signs and punched a hole in them at the top so they could hang from the hook. We affixed the signs to a piece of mat board to make them stiff -- shrink-wrapped the signs and punched the hole. Yes, a lot of little detail stuff, but my husband was very into the details.

    • Adhesive backed velcro probably will, as much as double sided adhesive tape will. You can always put the price signs into the edge of your frames.
