Which Poster Size Should You Choose?

Size is the question we hear most. Here’s the quick guide, with the rule of thumb that matters most: bigger is better when people are further away.

The viewing-distance rule: a poster should be readable from about ten times its height. A2 works from around four to five metres, A0 from much further. If you’re unsure, tell us where it will hang and how far away people will be.

Paper or PVC? The Plain-English Guide

The simple rule: if the poster might get wet, be handled or stay up for a long time, choose PVC. If it’s indoors for a short run, paper gives you the best value. We’ll tell you honestly if the cheaper one will do.

Want a rigid poster that stays perfectly flat? Mount it on a board. See our Foamex signs or Dibond signs.

Matt, Gloss or Silk? A Finish Guide

• Matt: calm, glare-free and elegant. Best for text-heavy posters, art and photography, and windows or bright rooms.

• Gloss: rich, vibrant colour with a shiny surface. Best for bold promotions and product photography, but it reflects light.

• Silk (satin): a soft sheen between the two, with strong colour and less glare. A popular all-rounder.

• Laminated: a protective layer that adds durability and wipe-clean convenience, ideal for posters that get handled.

Not sure? If your poster sits near a window or strong lights, choose matt. If it’s all about vivid colour, choose gloss. If you can’t decide, ask us, and we’ll tell you what works best for your artwork.

Where Posters Work Hardest

• Shop windows and retail displays: offers, new ranges and sale announcements. See our custom window graphics for glass-fitted graphics (pending)

• Restaurants, cafés and takeaways: menu posters, specials boards and wall displays

• Events, exhibitions and conferences: wayfinding, speaker, sponsor and academic posters.

• Building sites and developers: site boards, safety notices and hoarding posters. See Correx signs

• Estate agents and lettings: property posters for windows and offices

• Offices, schools and community groups: notices, timetables, campaigns and wall art

• Salons, gyms and clinics: price lists, class timetables and promotional displays

• Photographers, galleries and artists: photo poster printing and art posters.

Posters work best as part of a set. Pair them with roller banner printing for events, A-board pavement signs for the street and fascia signs above the door.

How It Works: Four Steps From Idea to Printed

1. Tell us what you need. The size, how many, paper or PVC, and the date you need them. A rough idea is fine.

2. Send your artwork. Upload a print-ready file, or send your logo, photo and wording and we’ll help shape it. PDF is best. We accept AI, EPS, JPG and PNG.

3. Approve your proof. We check your artwork for free, tell you straight away if anything needs fixing and send a proof. Nothing prints until you say so.

4. We print and finish. Printed, trimmed and quality-checked in our factory. Collect from High Wycombe at the time we promised, or arrange delivery.

How to Print a Poster Without the Pain

Most poster delays come from files, not printers. This checklist saves you a day:

• Use the right size. Build your artwork at the finished size, or in proportion (A-sizes all share the same ratio).

• Aim for 150 dpi at full size. Posters are viewed from a distance, so you don’t need as much detail as a leaflet. A smaller photo stretched to A0 will look soft.

• Add bleed. If colour or images run to the edge, add 3 mm beyond the trim so there’s no white sliver.

• Keep key text inside the safe area. Leave about 10 mm from the edge.

•  Send a PDF if you can. It keeps fonts and layout intact. We also accept AI, EPS, JPG and PNG.

• Convert fonts to outlines. Or embed them, so nothing changes when we open the file.

• Check spelling twice. Then ask a colleague. It’s the most common and most expensive mistake.

Don’t worry if you’re not sure. That’s what our free artwork check is for. We’ll tell you what to fix before it prints.

Posters That Get Noticed: Five Design Rules

1. One message. A single headline and a single call to action beat five competing ideas.

2. Big and bold. If someone can’t read it from where they’ll stand, it’s too small.

3. High contrast. Dark on light or light on dark. Avoid pale text on busy photos.

4. A clear next step. A web address, phone number or QR code, not all three.

5. Space to breathe. Empty space makes a poster look confident, not unfinished.

Eye-catching posters aren’t about clever tricks. They’re about one clear idea, printed well.

What Does Poster Printing Cost?

People often search for cheap poster printing or the cost of poster printing, and fair enough. Here’s the honest answer. Price depends on size, material (paper or PVC), finish, quantity, single or double-sided and how fast you need it. Larger quantities cost less per poster.

We don’t hide extras: send us your size and quantity and we’ll give you a clear price with no obligation. If a simpler paper poster will do the job, we’ll say so.
