Are you a K-pop fan and a vinyl record collector? Many K-pop vinyl records include album poster sets that can be used as stylish decorations. Let me guide you on correctly framing and hanging these vinyl record art prints. For example, I’m using one of the aespa’s art prints/posters from the Armageddon LP album as a reference.

By using the best frame size for K-pop art prints, the 15×15 picture frame provides extra space around the print, allowing for a mat board that enhances its presentation. This setup works well for LP-sized posters without requiring trimming, keeping the original look intact. Framing your favorite K-pop vinyl record poster not only protects it from dust and damage but also transforms it into a piece of wall art that adds personality to your space.

Whether you call them LP art prints or LP posters, K-pop vinyl collectors can’t get enough of them. And the best part is no nails needed! Read further to find out.

What Is K-Pop LP Posters / Photo Set

In the K-pop vinyl community, both LP art prints and LP posters are used interchangeably, but there are some differences.

  • LP Art Prints – These are high-quality prints included in vinyl albums, often sized to fit inside the record sleeve (30x30cm). They resemble album cover artwork and are printed on thicker, more durable paper.
  • LP Posters – These are usually folded inside the album and can be larger than the record itself. They’re often made from thinner paper, similar to traditional posters.

Materials Needed

To get started, you’ll need a 300mm x 300mm vinyl record poster, a 15×15 picture frame with an 11×11 inch mat board. Other essentials include:

  • Acid-free tape or mounting corners – Prevents long-term damage to your print

  • Clean cloth or microfiber wipe – Keeps dust and smudges off the frame and print

  • Ruler and pencil (optional) – Helps with precise alignment

  • Hanging hardware – Velcro command strips – Buy on Amazon

Preparing the K-Pop Poster

If your vinyl record poster has creases from being folded inside the album, flatten it by placing it under heavy books for a few days. Alternatively, use a gentle iron method by setting the iron to low heat and placing a protective cloth over the print or on the non-printed side. Be careful not to overheat, as too much heat can warp or damage the print’s surface.

Most LP-sized poster sets measure 30cm x 30cm, making them a perfect fit for the recommended frame size. Do not trim the print—it will fit without modifications, preserving its original design and value.

Positioning the Poster in the Mat Board

Once flattened, position the print behind the 11×11 inch mat board, centering it so that the most important parts of the design remain visible. The mat board provides a professional, polished look and helps protect the edges of the print. Secure it with acid-free tape or mounting corners to prevent shifting. If your print is glossy, avoid using regular tape, as it may leave residue or damage the surface.

Inserting the Poster into the Picture Frame

Before placing the artwork into the frame, clean the glass or acrylic to remove dust and fingerprints. Any smudges on the glass can become more noticeable once the frame is on display. Then, insert the mounted LP poster and mat board into the 15×15-inch vinyl record poster frame, ensuring everything is aligned before closing the back. Double-check that the mat board sits evenly around the print for a balanced and professional look.

Hanging the Framed Print

first ensure that it is seated evenly with no dust. For a damage-free option, hang the framed print with an adhesive hook or Velcro Command Strips. I know, I have nonail-on-the-wall recommendations. Velcro Command Strips: These are strong and also allow you to easily reposition artworks without putting holes in your wall.

Mount the item with minimum four Velcro Command Strips —one on each top-side and one on ach bottom-side —you can cover the image/photo of K-Pop vinyl record photo prints on wall without nails and also your framed K-Pop poster will not be budging a millimeter. This configuration distributes the weight of the frame, as it is against the wall, to keep it from tipping. And even if the frame and poster for the vinyl record astringent v not heavy, these strips provided strong support and have, bumper way to, not move over time.

They are safe to use, easy to use, and can be removed without damaging the wall, making them perfect for someone who likes to change up their decor often. This creates a gallery feeling, and album cover art fits nicely in this display, making your collection pop.

If you’d prefer to hang your framed K-pop vinyl record poster without having to deal with damaging your walls, Velcro Command Strips are an excellent solution. They’re simple to apply — just peel, press and stick for secure to hold. Unlike nails or adhesive hooks, they won’t leave holes or sticky residue, so they’re great for renters or anyone who likes to rotate their decor. And if you want to move your frame again, take off the strips and just stick them somewhere else.

Even removable, they offer a firm grip, ensuring your frame stays firm without the chance of falling off. This makes them the perfect solution if you want to display your favorite album posters in a clean, gallery-like style.
