Custom Posters

Q: Will my custom posters fit into a standard frame?
A: Yes. With the exception of our mounted posters (which are made of 5-mm-thick foam board), all our posters should fit into standard frames without issue.

Q: How are your custom posters printed?
A: We use digital printing and large format inkjet printers. The resulting poster look crisp, with vibrant full-color designs.

Q: If I make a poster, how thick will it be?
A:  It depends on the paper stock you choose for your specific poster. Here’s a breakdown of our poster paper stock options:

• Standard Matte: 200 gsm
• Standard Glossy: 275 gsm
• Premium Matte: 180 gsm
• Premium Glossy: 275 gsm
• Card Stock: 215 gsm
• Mounted Poster: 5 mm foam
• Blueback Poster: 115 gsm

Q: What is a blueback poster? Should I consider it when I create a poster?
A: Blueback paper has a white front for printing, and a blue-colored back. This specialty paper is designed to make it easier for people to read your poster, for several reasons. First, it helps block light from shining through your poster. Second, if you place your poster on top of an older one – on a crowded bulletin board, for instance – it keeps that older design from appearing through your poster paper. Finally, it adds extra durability, especially in outdoor settings. (For context, paper billboards typically use blueback paper.)

Q: What is a mounted poster? Is it right for my custom posters?
A: Mounted posters are made of foam 5mm thick – it’s our only non-paper option for custom posters. Because the foam is both lightweight and durable, we recommend mounted posters for events like trade shows, or even for longer-term in-store displays. With a few Command™ Strips, you can easily attach your poster to a wall and then, when the time comes, pull it down easily, without running the risk of damaging the wall or leaving any residue.

Q: What is a poster rail?
A: Poster rails are hanging and display accessories that you can use on vertically designed custom posters. A set of poster rails comes with two long tabs of aluminum or plastic. You slide each tab onto the top or bottom of your poster. The tabs have pre-made holes that let you hang your poster with your choice of hooks, suction cups, rope or string. The result is a lightweight and portable display option that looks sleek and professional – but it’s extremely easy to set up.

Q: Can I order a custom size?
A: Not at this time.
