Large Poster Printing

Our Poster Printing has a "near-photographic" quality because of the plates are made using stochastic screening of halftones. When you are ready to work out a Poster Printing price, please use the price calculator on the Large Poster Prices page.

We use triple coated stock in weights of 150gsm, 170gsm or 280gsm, either in gloss or silk finish for our Poster Printing. Our Large Posters can also be used as Leaflets e.g. eight page A4s. For Poster Printing in smaller sizes on these paper weights please choose A2, A3 and A4 Leaflets or for Poster Printing in smaller quantities choose Large Format Inkjet.

Standard flat sizes for Large Posters are:

  • A1 (594mm x 840mm)

Paper and Board for Large Poster Printing

The materials which we offer for full colour Large Posters are 150gsm gloss art, 150gsm silk art, 170gsm gloss art, 170gsm silk art, 280gsm gloss art and 280gsm silk art.

Poster Printing Finishing (i.e. Folding etc.)

Once the Poster Printing is completed, you can choose to have your Large Poster folded, perforated, creased, round cornered or drilled. Just select the appropriate Finishing under Optional Extras and the prices in the Poster Printing price table will adjust automatically to include the additional costs.

You can save on the cost of Poster Printing by planning various smaller sizes of Poster onto a larger sheet size – we will then trim the items to size after printing.

Artwork and PDF requirements for Large Poster Printing

  • We operate a PDF workflow, so please supply your Large Poster artwork as a Press Quality PDF. If you prefer, we can create a PDF for you, in which case we will email a proof to you for approval. There is an additional charge for this PDF creation service of £20 plus VAT.
  • If any print reaches the edge of your finished Large Poster, please add 3mm bleed to all sides of your artwork
  • When printing a Poster, we need a "quiet area" to ensure nothing important is too near to the trimmed edge of the Large Poster; so please leave a 5mm inner margin for anything other than backgrounds
  • Supply your Large Poster printing artwork files to us in CMYK, not RGB please
  • Image resolution should be 300dpi or more
  • Please embed fonts or convert all of your text to shapes

If you would like to download a PDF template you can do so from the Templates page which is also accessible via the top menu bar.
