Materials
We offer three types of wide-format materials:
- Photo Paper. This is our standard material, and what most people end up choosing. Great for framed long-term indoor installations or short-term exterior usage.
- Polypropylene Matte Paper. No-glare, matte finish for great visibility. Best for symposium posters and short-term exterior usage, as it is wrinkle and tear resistant.
- Satin Cloth (Foldable). Best choice when you need to fold a poster, generally when needing to take a poster out of town.
Looking for something different? We can also produce metal signs, PVC signs, coroplast signs, retractable banners, wall banners, window graphics, magnetic signs, floor graphics, canopies, step and repeat banners, sidewalk flags, tablecloths, and more. Contact us for more details.
Pricing
Pricing will be based on square footage of your final poster or banner, and the material used. Multiple copies of the same poster results in significant price savings. Feel free to contact us to price out your order.

File Requirements
- Please save your file as a pdf. We cannot print PowerPoint files.
- Ensure you design the project "true to size" meaning the file size is the size of the completed project. If your design file is 8.5 x 11 inches and we print a 24 x 36 inch A-frame poster, your poster will likely be pixelated because we had to enlarge the file.
- If you want a print-to-edge-project (bleed), create your margins .25 or ¼ inch above the required file size. Include crop marks on your design for an accurate completed project. We will cut to size.
- All design files need to be 300DPI for clear resolution upon printing.
