Poster printing that catches attention from across the room

Posters are used for event promotion, shop windows and in-store specials, notice boards, school and church announcements, menus, training charts and decor. Because they are viewed from a distance, bold headlines and strong images matter more than small print.

Common sizes include A3, A2, A1 and A0, and custom sizes can be quoted. Gloss paper makes colours pop and suits promotions; satin or matte reduces glare for framed pieces and areas with strong lighting. Heavier poster stock resists curling and handles better.

Lamination adds protection for posters that will be touched, used outdoors in sheltered spots or kept for longer, while unlaminated paper is fine for short campaigns.

Supply a PDF at the final size or a proportional scale, with images that stay sharp when enlarged. A 300 dpi image at A4 looks soft if stretched to A0, so send the largest original available. Add 3 mm bleed where the design runs to the edge. See the artwork guidelines.

Posters can be left flat for framing, rolled for transport or mounted on board for display. For many posters on boards, see high-volume poster mounting. If posters will hang at a stand or shopfront, consider whether a pull-up banner would work better.

Posters are often possible on a fast turnaround, subject to capacity, job size, approved artwork, payment and a confirmed deadline, confirmed on the quote. Collect in Rivonia once we confirm it is ready, or ask for delivery to be quoted. Posters are rolled or packed flat to protect them.
