Custom Posters

Display posters that will capture everyone’s attention in public waiting areas, community boards, and high-traffic locations. Promote your store’s new hours, branch locations, or seasonal sales and discounts. Print standard paper or cardstock posters for easy display on a board or create large-format posters that can be seen from a distance. You can also customize mounted posters to place on an easel or a wall near your establishments. All these cheap poster printing options are easy to select and order online.

Besides deciding on how you will want to display them, you can also narrow down the poster type based on the specs available per type:

• Standard posters are made of light but sturdy paper or cardstock options. Perfect for printing in bulk and distributing to different locations for display.
• Large format posters come in semi-gloss photo paper or 20 mil. styrene. Both materials allow for detailed high-resolution printing, while the styrene is waterproof and recommended for temporary outdoor displays.
• Mounted posters are made of a sturdy white PVC board that you can place on an easel or hang on a wall. Suitable for large outdoor displays as it can withstand different conditions.
