Large Format Posters That Showcase the Best in Your Business
Large format posters showcase your business at a major event such as a trade show or weekend pop-up market. You can also decorate your store with posters of your most stunning work. Wherever you decide to display your large format posters, you can print the visuals in the best size, and they will come out in a high-quality resolution. Choose from our standard large dimensions or pick a size that fits your needs.
What Sizes Can I Choose From?
We offer a wide range of large format dimensions, such as these three popular sizes:
-
- 24” x 36” is ideal for promoting big events such as concerts or showcasing new products or services. This is the largest available size for indoor use.
- 18” x 24” is small enough to be displayed indoors but provides ample space for colorful, visual designs or helpful infographics. You commonly see these displayed in offices, clinics, and other indoor public areas.
- 16” x 20” is our largest size among the smaller dimensions. It’s ideal for displaying artwork or photographs in your store or at a gallery.
Note: Custom sizes are available for customers with specific needs.
What Is the Advantage of Using Photo Paper and Styrene?
Our photo poster material brings out every detail in your large prints. Choose from two gloss finishes that enhance your design’s appearance.
-
- Semi-gloss brightens every hue. It’s perfect for large posters that balance large images with text.
-
- High gloss works best on large posters of high-end photographs and art. The colors come out extra vibrant and intensify the detail of the printed work.
You can also have your large-format printing done on 20 mil. styrene, which offers several advantages:
-
- Durable enough for long-term indoor use
- Flexible enough to be rolled for storage or shipping
- Waterproof nature allows you to display it outdoors temporarily
How Can I Design an Effective Poster?
For your large format poster to be a success, you need a compelling design that clearly communicates what you want to say. Here are a couple of design tips to keep in mind while creating your custom posters:
-
- Stick to one point. You need to capture and sustain a customer’s attention. Avoid cluttering the design with too many elements. Stick to a central image or graphic. Don’t forget branding elements like your logo, and include only the necessary information.
-
- Go the distance. Keep in mind that the poster will first be viewed from afar. Study how the colors appear from a distance and check if the combination creates the wrong impression. Cut down on shades and use complementary hues to keep things easy on the eyes.
Distinguish your brand with the scale and detail of large format poster printing. Upload a print-ready file or use our downloadable templates to get started. You can have one or up to 50 large posters ordered and ready after one business day. Be sure to add a free proof so you can check the file before printing.

Customer Questions
If you need to write on the poster, we would suggest you go with the Foam Boards. Then select the Dry Erase Lamination. We also encourage you to order the Dry Erase Marker Kit under the accessory option. This comes with an eraser and cleaning liquid to make sure the board remains clean and free from stains since the markers are very compatible with the lamination we use. Writing on Regular Posters cannot be erased.
If you are getting a prompt that the artwork is blurry, it maybe because you converted an excel file into a PDF. Since this is a poster to be printed in a large size, the system is most likely enlarging the size of your file which is very much smaller considering it is an excel file. Upload your file and select a free PDF proof. Our Prepress Team will check if they can help you make the blurry areas more solid since these are just lines and text. If there are special design elements like logos or images, we cannot guarantee we can fix that as you need to submit a high resolution image.
For large format jobs,we normally use third party file transfer provider wetransfer.com and they can help us download files up to 2 GB.
There is a somewhat technical process of doing this and we would need the digital files of the pictures in pdf or similar formats. Unfortunately we can't use the physical photos or the negatives. You can do this by getting them professionally scanned or photographed.
The reason you need them to be digitally converted is we need the files to ideally have 250-300 DPI resolution with the correct file size. You may then upload these files on the website and if you select the free proof option, we can check them if they may be enlarged to your desired size without distorting the image in the final print. You will not need to pay until the proofs are good for printing.
Furthermore, having them digitized ensures you can store them without fear of having the photos deteriorate over time and preserved for future use.
We will print whatever design you send us. So you may include a blank space (or a border) in the artwork you send us and we will print as is. However, you may need to select the 24 PT cardstock as material because the gloss paper would be too smooth to write on and will likely smudge.
The poster is normally rolled and has a protective sheet of wax paper on top to avoid scratches. It is then placed into a hard cardboard box for shipping.
Your files will be reviewed for printing errors without paying a cent.
