Why choose custom posters

  • One poster or a thousand

    The price ladder starts at a single poster, so a one off print for a wall costs one print. Larger runs bring the price of each down for street campaigns.

  • Eight papers for eight jobs

    Semi gloss for everyday posters, Premium Matte or Premium Glossy for a better finish, a laminated semi gloss for posters that get handled, Outdoor paper, and Foam Board for a rigid poster that stands on an easel.

  • Sizes from a door to a wall

    8.5 × 11 in and 11 × 17 in suit doors and notice boards, 18 × 24 in suits a shop window, and 24 × 36 in up to 36 × 48 in fill a wall.

Before you order

My image will look blurry at a large size
Check the pixels, not the file size. Our guidance is 300 pixels per inch up to 24 in on the long side, so an 18 × 24 in poster wants an image around 5,550 × 7,350 pixels once the bleed is added, and 150 pixels per inch for larger posters. The file setup table on this page lists the target for every size.
Can it go outdoors?
Choose the Outdoor paper for posters that go outside, or the separate outdoor posters product. We do not give a time a poster will last outside, because sun, rain and wind vary so much.

Finishing upgrades

How people use it

  • A shop window promotion

    An 18 × 24 in poster reads from the sidewalk without covering the whole window. Order one per window and change it with each season or each sale.

  • A poster on an easel at an event

    Foam Board at 11 × 17 in stands on a tabletop easel for a welcome sign, a menu or a seating plan, with no frame needed.

  • A poster that gets handled

    Laminated semi gloss suits a classroom chart or a poster on a busy corridor wall, where hands and tape go on and off.

  • Street posters for a show

    A hundred 11 × 17 in posters cover cafes, record shops and notice boards across town. Date and venue go in the largest type.

Get a poster that stays sharp on the wall

Most poster problems start with the image file or the size chosen for the space. Settle both before you design.

  1. Measure the space and the distance

    Measure the window, the board or the wall, and note where people will stand. Choose the largest size the space allows, then size the headline so it reads from that spot.

  2. Check the image resolution

    Open the file setup table on this page and find your size. If your image has fewer pixels than the target, pick a smaller size or find a larger image before you design.

  3. Choose the paper for the place

    Semi gloss for most indoor posters, Premium Matte under bright lights, laminate for posters that get touched, Outdoor for outside, and Foam Board for an easel.

    Poster paper and finish
  4. Set up bleed and margins

    Run the background past the trim into the bleed and keep text inside the safe area. Look at the whole poster at 25 percent zoom to judge it as people will see it from a distance.

Good to know

Which poster size should I choose?

Choose by viewing distance and wall space. 11 × 17 in for notice boards and doors, 18 × 24 in for windows, 24 × 36 in for a wall people see from across a room.

Is lamination worth it on a poster?

Laminated semi gloss adds a clear layer over the print, which suits posters that get handled or moved. For a poster behind glass, plain semi gloss is enough.

Matte or glossy poster paper?

Premium Matte has no glare, so it suits posters under bright shop lights or near windows. Premium Glossy makes photos look richer but reflects light. Semi gloss sits between the two.

Can I order a horizontal poster?

Yes. Choose Horizontal under orientation and the Studio turns the canvas. The price is the same as vertical.

How do I hang it?

Paper posters go up with removable tape, poster strips or clips, or in a frame. Foam Board is rigid, so it stands on an easel or leans on a shelf. Snap frames and poster rails are sold as separate products.
