Cheap Poster Printing Custom Full Color A1/A2/A3/A4/A5 Size
Full colour wall posters printed in CMYK on PP self-adhesive, photo paper, art paper, kraft, offset and other stocks, finished with glossy or matt lamination. Standard sizes run A5 through A4 at 210 x 297mm, A3 at 297 x 420mm, A2 at 420 x 594mm and A1 at 594 x 841mm, with custom trims cut to artwork and formats available up to billboard scale. Digital printing is used for the smaller image sizes typical of poster work, which keeps short campaign runs affordable. Bought for promotional, social, cultural and film advertising where the same design has to appear across many locations quickly.
What This Product Gives You
- Digital printing makes a short poster run economic, so a campaign can be split across locations without a large offset commitment
- Sizes from A5 up to A1 at 594 x 841mm and beyond let one design scale from a counter card to a wall poster
- PP self-adhesive stock sticks directly to a wall or window, removing the need for separate mounting
- Matt lamination cuts glare where a poster sits under retail spotlights and gloss lifts colour saturation
- Quick print times suit urgent campaigns and event dates set after the artwork is finished
- A wide stock list from photo paper through to kraft lets the same image suit a premium or a low-cost placement
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It
Application Scenarios
- Film and theatre promotion posters for cinemas and venues
- Retail and membership promotions announcing trials, discounts or referral offers
- Public information and social awareness posters
- Cultural and exhibition wall posters
- Multi-location campaign rollouts across a store network
Who It Is For
- Advertising and media agencies buying campaign posters
- Cinema, theatre and event venue marketing teams
- Retail chains distributing promotional material across branches
- Gyms, clubs and membership businesses promoting offers

What Goes Wrong Without It
- Short campaign runs are uneconomic on offset presses, which digital printing solves
- Posters curl and tear when mounted with tape, which PP self-adhesive stock avoids
- Glossy posters reflect store lighting and become unreadable, so matt lamination is offered
- Campaign dates move and leave no time for a long print cycle, which quick digital turnaround absorbs
- A single stock never suits both a window display and a back-office notice, so multiple substrates are held

Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Offset printed poster | Digital printing is cheaper and quicker on short campaign runs, while offset wins on unit cost once quantities climb |
| PVC foam board sign | A poster is cheap to post rolled and easy to replace each campaign, though a rigid board stands unsupported and lasts outdoors |
| Vinyl banner | Paper posters cost far less per unit for indoor placement, but a vinyl banner survives outdoor weather that would destroy paper |
Getting the Best Result
- Supply artwork as PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at 300dpi minimum with fonts saved as outlines
- Add 3mm bleed on all sides so no white edge appears after trimming
- Choose matt lamination for posters under spotlights and gloss where colour depth matters most
- Specify PP self-adhesive where the poster is applied straight to glass or a smooth wall
- Design at final size rather than scaling a small file up, as poster artwork enlarged from low resolution will soften
- Order flat packing for A3 and below and rolled packing for A2 and A1 to avoid creases

A5, A4 at 210mm x 297mm, A3 at 297mm x 420mm, A2 at 420mm x 594mm and A1 at 594mm x 841mm, plus custom trims up to billboard scale.
What material are the posters printed on?
PP, photo paper, art paper, coated paper, kraft, offset paper and newsprint are all available. PP self-adhesive is used where the poster is stuck straight to a surface.
How fast can posters be produced?

Can you laminate the posters?
Yes, glossy or matt lamination. Matt is the usual choice where the poster sits under bright retail lighting.
How much bleed should I leave?
3mm on all sides, so the trim does not leave a white edge on a full-bleed design.
