All About Custom Poster Printing
Choosing the ideal poster for your requirements is more than just picking a graphic or picture and getting it printed. There are factors to be taken into account that Minuteman Press can assist you with.
First of all, you need to think about where you will be displaying your poster, so it can be printed on the best-suited media. It could be on:
- Indoor walls.
- Posts or poles
- Outside walls.
- Windows, inside or outside.
- Suspended from a ceiling.
- Smooth surfaces.
- Uneven surfaces.
Then you need to think about whether you want your poster framed or unframed. Posters can be located just about anywhere you want, and having the correct material will ensure they last and don’t deteriorate quickly.
Poster Size
Posters come in many different sizes — the most popular dimensions are:
A0 Posters
Measuring 841mm x 1189 mm (33.1 inches x 46.8 inches), these large-scale posters are one of the most requested sizes. A0 Poster printing ensures you command attention on a grand scale, and makes your message stand out from the competition.
A1 Posters
Coming in at 594mm x 841mm (23.4 inches x 33.1 inches), these posters are once again a large-scale option. They can be strategically placed for optimum viewing.
A2 Posters
The next size down is 420mm x 594mm (16.5 inches x 23.4 inches) — this is a great size for windows, or putting a few different posters in a display.
A3 Posters
Heading towards the smaller end, measuring 297mm x 420mm (11.7 inches x 16.5 inches), A3 is an ideal size when space is limited, or you want to fill in a gap.
Larger, movie-style posters can be fabricated, as can smaller — A4 or less. One of the oldest forms of advertising, posters can literally be created to fit anywhere.
Poster Materials
The media chosen for poster printing will depend on where you want to place it and what design you require. Minuteman Press can help you decide what will work best. These options could include:
Paper
There are different weights and types of paper to choose from, including heavy photo satin paper, for sharp images and colours that really pop. Whichever you choose, paper poster printing is best suited to indoor use and is generally a cost-effective option.
Canvas
This media lends itself to a more classic look than a modern high gloss finish. This type is durable for indoor use but might not stand up well to outdoor elements. However, it’s great for larger poster printing and will stand up well to humid conditions.
PVC/Vinyl
Durable and more weather resistant, PVC/Vinyl poster printing is suited for outdoor and indoor use. It is available in different weights, offering you strength combined with flexibility. It could be considered a more luxurious media as it costs a little more. Nevertheless, you get more bang for your buck in the quality of the graphics and its resistance to damage.
Posters can be laminated, have adhesive backings, be designed to stay flat, and even made from recycled materials. The world is your oyster when it comes to choice, so there will undoubtedly be the perfect poster material to suit your project and budget.
