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.

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
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.
That size is doable. If you check the Size options on the product page for Large Format posters, you may click on Custom and manually input 84" x 48". When it comes to the quality of the image, two factors will impact how good the final output will be. First one is resolution. We normally advise to have resolution between 200-300 DPI for best results. The second factor is the printed size of the image. Even if the resolution is good, if the printed size cannot be enlarged to the size you need, images may become blurry or warped.
We can however, check your file first before you make payment. We offer a free PDF proof so you can check the quality of the printing before the job goes to production. After configuring the size and material you need, click on the "Start with a Free Proof" link so you can upload your file and our Prepress Specialists will review it. You will receive a PDF proof which you can view on your PC or laptop if the file is ok to be enlarged and we will point out the issues for consideration. If it is not printable, we will advise you on the issues found and what you need to do to get it print ready.
If they are selling a digital file commercially, they will provide a width and height that we assume is the printed size. The main question to ask them is if you can print this in high resolution for a large format print in the size you need. If they are advertising it in its printed size which is close or exactly to the size you need, that would be a good start. People selling these files will insist they are high resolution and they probably are. However, when we resize it to the exact size you need, the resolution could become blurry as the original printed size of your file could be for a smaller picture. That would be the worst case scenario.
On our end, we would like to see the file first and advise you if it is good for printing. However, they will obviously not give it to you for checking since digital files can be easily saved and copied. Perhaps you can purchase one image first, upload it to our site in the size you need printed and we can give you a free proof so you can be sure the file is good to print.
4" x 6" inserts would fall under our Standard Postcard size but these have a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces which would be printed on a digital press rather than offset.
