Poster Printing

Poster Marketing.  Color poster printing is a high-impact, affordable way to make a great impression.  Ideal for window placement, bulletin boards or product releases, full-color printed posters are best when gloss coated for durability.  Use them whenever you need to get noticed.

Poster Basics.  The standard size for a poster is 17x22.  The two recommended printing services, however, offer posters in a smaller, more economical 11x17 format.  All printing services offer posters with full color on at least one side.  If you plan on displaying your posters outside, make sure to get gloss coating.  Gloss coating is standard at both of the recommended printing services.
