Event Organizers: Custom posters are a great way to promote concerts, festivals, conferences and sporting events. Printed posters help promoters generate excitement, share details, and create a visual representation of the overall theme or spirit of the event. Posters can also be sold as memorabilia at merchandise booths or souvenir stands.

Poster Printing FAQ
What size is a poster print?
Poster print sizes vary depending on their use. For cheap poster printing in smaller sizes, order 11x17 posters, 12x18 or 13x19. For larger poster print sizes, 24x36 is very common. For example, if you had rock-band or pop-star posters on your bedroom wall as a teenager, these were probably 24"x36" (or 2ft x 3ft).
Larger sizes, such as 36x48 or longer, are typically used for window advertisements, wall graphics and other public displays, where the extra size improves visibility from a distance or through busy crowds.
What size poster is a 24x36 print?
Check out the image above to see this size example in context. Most "full size" posters that you purchase at retail businesses (like record stores) are 24x36", or 2ft x 3ft. This is a great size that lends itself well to a wide range of uses. At a 2:3 aspect ratio, these poster-size prints fit perfectly on surfaces from your business's front door to your kid's dorm-room wall. Big enough to be seen at a distance, small enough to fit most spaces.
How much does custom poster printing cost?
We offer cheap poster printing options at any quantity and size. You don't have to sacrifice quality for affordability or vice versa. Your price will depend on several variables, namely the Size, Quantity and Paper Type. Select a category above, then enter your custom poster details to see prices.
What resolution should my image be for high-quality poster printing?
We recommend 300 to 600 PPI (pixels per inch) or DPI (dots per inch) at the actual print size, e.g. 24" x 36". This resolution will achieve high-quality printing while keeping your file size manageable.
Do you offer design services for posters?
Yes we do. Our file editing/design services have a minimum cost of $39.95 for minor touch ups (plus a printing minimum of $150). More involved design services are billed at $95 per hour. For a more detailed and accurate quote, please email us with your design request. Include any source files (such as photos and logos) and as much detail of what you're envisioning as possible.
Do you offer bulk discounts for large poster orders?
Yes we do. While the exact price breaks will depend on all your poster printing details, the price per piece goes down incrementally the more posters you print at once. Check out our automated order forms for an instant price quote.
What is the best material for posters?
For large-format poster printing, we recommend the HP Photo High-Gloss for most uses. If you want to reduce the amount of shine/glare, consider the HP Photo Semigloss instead.
You may also want to consider self-adhesive posters. These have a semigloss finish and a peel-off backing, which eliminates the need for adhesive sprays or other mounting materials. We recommend using a squeegee or roller to help avoid unsightly bubbles or wrinkles.
For smaller poster sizes, we recommend the 80# Cover Smooth or Gloss (semigloss), depending on whether you want a shiny surface. For a high gloss poster, select the 12pt Cover C1S (High-gloss).
Do you print mounted posters?
We do not offer poster mounting due to the difficulty of shipping these products across the country safely without bending or denting. But we do offer self-adhesive posters, which makes the process of mounting posters yourself much simpler and cleaner than other options, such as glue sticks or spray-on adhesives. All large format posters come shipped in tubes. Depending on the size and quantity, these tubes may be inserted inside a shipping a box or taped together with packing tape to reduce shipping costs.
How do you hang posters?
There are many ways to hang your custom printed posters. The method you use will depend on what their purpose is, where you're hanging them and on what kind of surface. For example, 11x17 posters for concerts and other live events are commonly hung in windows for coffee shops, boutiques and record stores. These can be hung easily with double-sided clear tape, or with regular tape by wrapping individual strips into ring-shaped loops with the sticky side facing out.
Self adhesive posters are a great option for mounting large posters semi-permanently in shop windows, convention booths and other display spaces.
Many companies manufacture specific products for hanging posters safely on other surfaces, such as drywall or wood. Choose one that's both long-lasting and residue-free to avoid marking up your walls.
Can I get a proof of my poster?
If you'd like a digital proof for free, please request this in the Job Notes. Hard copy (printed) proofs of posters can be chosen on the order form. For smaller sizes (up to 13x19"), the cost is $39.95 plus $0.10 per page/original. This includes 2-day shipping or faster. For large-format posters, simply order 1 poster.
