Popular Poster Size
When it comes to printing posters, there are several standard sizes to consider. These sizes are widely used in the printing industry and can help you plan your poster design and layout effectively. Here are some common standard poster sizes for printing:
A0: The A0 size measures 841 x 1189 millimeters or 33.1 x 46.8 inches. It offers a large canvas for eye-catching designs and is commonly used for promotional displays, trade shows, and large-scale advertisements.
A1: A1 posters have dimensions of 594 x 841 millimeters or 23.4 x 33.1 inches. They are slightly smaller than A0 but still provide ample space for impactful visuals. A1 posters are suitable for various applications, including event promotions, retail displays, and educational or informational materials.
A2: A2-sized posters measure 420 x 594 millimeters or 16.5 x 23.4 inches. They are smaller and more compact, making them versatile for both indoor and outdoor use. A2 posters are often used for academic presentations, art prints, menu boards, or promotional materials.
B1: B1 size posters have dimensions of 707 x 1000 millimeters or 27.8 x 39.4 inches. This size is popular for movie posters, advertising campaigns, and large-scale promotional displays. B1 offers a wider format that can help emphasize visual impact and attract attention.
B2: B2-sized posters measure 500 x 707 millimeters or 19.7 x 27.8 inches. They are smaller than B1 but still provide enough space for effective design and messaging. B2 posters are commonly used for event promotions, storefront displays, or visual aids for presentations.
24 x 36 inches: While the above sizes follow standard paper sizing conventions, 24 x 36 inches is a widely used poster size in North America. This size offers an ideal ratio for creating visually pleasing and balanced designs. It is often used for movie posters, artwork, and advertising displays.
Other popular sizes, include:
18 x 24 inches, 11 x 17 inches, 12 x 18 inches, 20 x 30 inches, 27 x 40 inches, 36 x 48 inches, etc.
Remember that these are just some of the common standard poster sizes. However, you can also opt for custom sizes if required, depending on your specific needs and printing capabilities. When designing your poster, consider the intended display location, audience visibility, and the level of detail you want to include to create an attention-grabbing and effective visual communication piece.
Paper Types & Weights for Poster Printing
The choice of paper type plays a crucial role in determining the overall look and feel of the final printed poster. Here’s a brief description of the common paper types used for poster printing:
Gloss art paper is coated with a shiny, reflective finish that enhances the colors and details of the poster design. The glossy surface allows for vibrant and eye-catching prints, making it ideal for posters with high-resolution images and graphics. Gloss art paper is commonly used for promotional materials, event posters, and advertising signs.
Matte art paper features a non-reflective surface, providing a smooth and elegant finish to the poster. This paper type is popular for posters that require a more subdued and sophisticated look. Matte art paper is great for posters with text-heavy content or designs that don't require glossy effects. It reduces glare and is often preferred for indoor displays such as artwork or informational posters.
Uncoated paper has a natural, textured surface that offers a more organic and tactile appearance to the poster. This paper type is suitable for designs that aim for a more rustic or vintage look. Uncoated paper is often chosen for posters with a minimalist design or those that require a softer and understated finish. It is commonly used for event announcements, artistic prints, and eco-friendly promotional posters.
Each paper type has its unique characteristics and benefits. So the choice ultimately depends on the specific requirements of your poster design, intended use, and desired aesthetic. Consider factors like image sharpness, color saturation, readability, and the overall visual impact when selecting the appropriate paper type for your poster printing project.

Poster File Guidelines
To ensure a seamless printing process and exceptional results, we have specific file requirements for banner poster printing projects:
Bleed refers to an extra margin around your document that extends beyond the final trimmed size of your poster. Typically, a bleed of 0.125 inches (3mm) should be added to each side of your poster layout. This ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final product if the trimming shifts slightly.
The clarity of images in your poster is paramount. For high quality printing, all images should have a resolution of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). This high resolution ensures that your images appear crisp and detailed, rather than pixelated or blurry.
It's important to set your document's color mode to CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black) instead of RGB (Red, Green, Blue). CMYK color mode is used in printing to provide more accurate color representation on the physical pages of your poster.
We accept several file formats, but for the best results, PDF files are preferred. PDFs preserve the layout and content as intended without the risk of elements shifting or fonts being substituted, which can happen with other file types.
Other Tips: If your posters with a black background, please design with 0% yellow, 30% cyan, 30% magenta, and 90% black in the CMYK color space. Remember that don’t set 100% black in your poster background, as this may appear brown or purple when printed.

What's the difference between poster and banner?
Posters and banners are both popular printed marketing materials, but they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Here are the key differences between posters and banners:
Size and Format: Posters are typically smaller in size and are meant to be viewed up close. They are usually printed on standard paper sizes like A4, A3, or larger for more promotional impact. Banners, on the other hand, are larger and designed for long-distance viewing. They are typically printed on vinyl or fabric material and come in various sizes, often with custom dimensions, allowing for visibility from a distance or in outdoor settings.
Intended Use: Posters are commonly used for advertising, promotions, events, or decorative purposes. They often convey a specific message or information and are displayed indoors, such as in stores, offices, or on community notice boards. Banners, on the other hand, are more commonly used for outdoor advertising, events, or announcements. They are often displayed on fences, buildings, or as signage during trade shows, conferences, or outdoor gatherings.
Durability and Weather Resistance: Posters are generally not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They are usually printed on paper or lightweight cardstock and are more suitable for indoor use. Banners, on the other hand, are made from more durable materials like vinyl or fabric that can withstand wind, rain, or sunlight. They are engineered to be weather-resistant, making them suitable for extended outdoor use, even in challenging weather conditions.
Portability: Posters are relatively easy to handle and transport due to their smaller size and flexibility. They can be rolled or folded for easy storage and can even be handed out or distributed easily. Banners, on the other hand, due to their larger size and more rigid material, may require additional support like grommets, poles, or stands for stability and visibility. They are less portable and may require careful handling during transportation.
Ultimately, the choice between a poster and a banner depends on the specific marketing goals, intended use, and display location. Posters are great for targeting a specific audience up close, while banners are more suitable for outdoor or long-distance visibility and impact.

They can be strategically placed in smaller spaces, such as storefront windows, community bulletin boards, classrooms, and personal workstations, to convey messages, showcase products, or enhance visual aesthetics.
Posters: Posters are versatile marketing tools that serve diverse purposes, such as advertising products or services, promoting events, conveying information, and showcasing artwork or photography. They are commonly used in retail environments, theaters, educational institutions, trade shows, and public areas to capture attention and communicate messages effectively. Posters are designed to relay impactful visual content, whether it’s for brand promotion, event announcements, educational materials, or decorative purposes.
Banners: Banners are often employed for large-scale advertising, event promotion, outdoor signage, and informational displays. Their expansive size and visibility make them ideal for drawing attention to businesses, special events, festivals, trade shows, and outdoor gatherings.
