Printed Poster Paper

Paper ads are typically printed on a 170gsm or 200gsm paper. A gloss paper is mostly unused to give a high-end look for example an event poster. Matt poster printer paper can also be used. Lighter paper may be flimsy, especially on larger posters. Thicker paper like 300gsm will increase the prices unnecessarily.

Custom Poster Sizes

Size also depends on the amount of information that you wish to display. if you have little information, you can print in a bigger font on a smaller a3 poster. Although a2 and a1 posters are larger a2 posters may not be needed. However, if you have a lot of information an a1 poster can allow for more space.

Another consideration is viewing distance. A smaller poster will be effective when people walk nearby and can stop to view it. Should you place a poster high up against a wall, far away from your potential target audience, you will need to print bigger text on a bigger poster, to make it more visible.

For a very large printed poster size, like A0 size printing, this tends to be printed on a wide format printer, a printer with no setup cost, and prints on demand. A0 size printing can be done on a litho printer but the quantity needs to be substantial to justify the cost.

If your party poster is not visible, nobody will attend!

Printing Poster Prices

Poster printing prices may vary based on the size, paper thickness, and quantity.

High-quantity poster printing cost, especially A2 or A1 sizes are cheaper when printed on a litho machine, whereas, a low number of poster prints are cheap when printed on a digital printer. A commercial digital poster printer can print up to A3 size at a cheaper cost price.

If you wish to target more locations, we as poster makers recommend printing a smaller poster size. For example, an a3 poster or a4 poster will allow high-volume printing there for more copies at a lower cost per printed poster. A3 printing paper prices gives you the best value for money! A3 printing paper is large enough to display plenty of information yet not overly expensive due to the fact that it can still be printed on a smaller digital printer and not a big commercial printer.

A0 size printing cost depends on the quantity. Due to the size of the, you will have to order a very high volume to justify, printing A0 size on a litho printer. A wide-format printer will be used in most cases.

Thicker paper e.g. 250gsm to 300gsm may be more durable, especially for large posters like a2 and a1, but this paperweight is also more expensive. 170gsm to 200gsm is the most commonly used and is both light and cost-effective.
