My $12 poster hanger bent the prints all crooked

Bought a pack of magnetic poster hangers from a discount store. The cheap magnets aren't strong enough and two of my prints slid out and hit the floor with corner dings. Has anyone found a budget hanger that actually holds tight?

Double sided tape helps a bit but it's a bandaid. The real issue is those cheap magnets just don't have enough clamping force. Grab a set of binder clips big enough to span the top edge of the hanger. Clip them on the ends and middle, that will pinch the magnet tight against the poster. Your prints won't budge even if you shake the wall. If you want something cleaner looking, search for "neodymium magnetic poster hangers" online. They cost a few bucks more but the magnets actually hold. Had the same problem with a cheap set and the binder clips saved me from trashing two prints.

Did you try using some double-sided tape on the magnets to keep them from sliding?
