Pro-Tip: Choosing the Right Finish for Your Space
- Matte Finish: Disperses reflections under bright commercial LED or overhead spot lighting. Highly recommended for text-heavy academic posters, architectural plans, and restaurant menu boards.
- Glossy Finish: Delivers deeper blacks and vibrant contrast for photographic art, fashion campaigns, and window displays viewed from outdoor natural light.
- Lamination & Mounting: For displays lasting over 30 days or set up in high-humidity venues, pairing 250 GSM stock with cold thermal matte lamination prevents edge curling and UV fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know regarding poster sizing, print resolutions, paper stocks, mounting options, and bulk ordering.
What is the difference between matte and glossy poster paper?
Matte art paper disperses light evenly across the print surface, eliminating reflections from direct sun or overhead commercial lighting. It is optimal for text-heavy announcements, academic diagrams, and conference presentations. Glossy paper enhances saturation, sharpness, and high-contrast color depth, making it the preferred option for photographs, retail windows, and promotional merchandise.
What file format and DPI resolution should I submit for printing?
We recommend submitting print-ready PDF, TIFF, or high-resolution PNG/JPG files set to CMYK color mode at 300 DPI at 100 percent scale for standard formats (A4 to A2). For large-format A1, A0, and oversized prints (24×36 in and above), a minimum resolution of 150 to 200 DPI at actual print size produces crisp results without creating unwieldy file sizes.
Can posters be mounted onto Sintra board or foam board?
Yes. We provide rigid mounting services using 3mm or 5mm white Sintra PVC boards and lightweight 5mm foam core. Mounted posters include a protective matte or glossy cold thermal lamination that prevents surface scratches, water splashes, and UV degradation. Sintra-mounted posters are ideal for freestanding tabletop easels, photo galleries, and corporate events.
Can paper posters be used outdoors?
Standard art paper posters are engineered for indoor and sheltered window environments. For short-term outdoor use (up to 4 weeks in covered areas), we recommend heavy 250 GSM stock with dual-side lamination. For long-term outdoor displays exposed to rain and intense sunlight, we recommend heavy-duty outdoor tarpaulin or weatherproof adhesive vinyl decals instead.
What are your minimum order quantities and volume discounts?
Single-piece custom printing is supported for large-format sizes (A2, A1, A0, and oversized displays). For standard sizes (A4 and A3), volume pricing tiers take effect starting at 50, 100, and 500 units, providing substantial cost savings for commercial distributions and election campaign batches.
