Configure & Order ↑Event doors and retail windows need a poster today, not a custom rigid sign quote. We print standard posters on gloss and matte photo paper in 12x18, 18x24, 24x36, and 36x48 with optional mounted foam board or rigid PVC, qty 25 through 250, and Free Design Setup in the calculator above.

Guide to poster sizes, paper vs mount, FAQ. Pick size and material, approve proof, print.

Indoor paper and mount options.
Posters ship flat or rolled for tape and frame install indoors. Vinyl banners suit outdoor wind and grommet hardware. Pick posters for classroom, retail window, and venue wall short runs.
Engineering Print (B&W large) in the calculator suits construction markups at lower cost when color is not required.

Gloss, matte, foam, rigid PVC.
Gloss Photo Paper is default for vibrant event art. Matte Photo Paper reduces glare under track lights. Mounted Foam Board adds stiffness for easel display without framing.
Rigid PVC suits longer retail installs where corners must not curl.

12x18 through 36x48.
18x24 is the workhorse concert and sale poster. 24x36 covers window campaigns. 36x48 needs careful file resolution at 100 dpi minimum at final size.

Readable headlines at distance.
Poster headlines must read from ten feet in a noisy venue. We enlarge type and simplify busy backgrounds during Free Design Setup when you upload flyer-sized art.
Standard 3-5 days after approval.
