Our large format posters are printed on durable 8 mil MXM paper, a heavyweight stock engineered to resist tearing and stay flat far better than standard poster paper. Combined with First Press wide-format printing technology, the result is photographic colour depth, smooth gradients, and crisp detail at sizes that stop foot traffic.
Posters remain the most flexible and economical way to go big. Whether you need one statement piece for a window or a citywide run for a campaign, large format paper delivers maximum visual impact per dollar.
Customers rely on large format posters for storefront window promotions, movie and concert advertising, restaurant and cafe menus or feature boards, trade show backwalls and booth decor, interior decor and oversized photo art, university and conference research posters, seasonal sale campaigns across multiple locations, and wayfinding at festivals and events.
Start with viewing distance. A poster read up close, like a menu or research poster, rewards finer detail and smaller text, while a window poster viewed from across the street needs bold headlines and strong contrast above all. The 8 mil MXM stock hangs beautifully on its own with clips, tape, or poster rails; if you want a fully rigid presentation, consider mounting the same artwork on foamcore or display board instead.
Posters are an indoor and protected-window product. For exposed outdoor advertising, a rigid substrate like coroplast or Sintra will hold up better. If your poster will be handled often or displayed for months, lamination adds tear resistance and a finished sheen, with matte recommended under bright retail lighting.
Prepare artwork in CMYK at final print size with 0.125 in of bleed on all sides. At poster scale, 100 to 150 dpi at full dimensions is the sweet spot for sharpness without bloated files; our downloadable poster template makes setup easy. Multi-poster orders bring the unit price down quickly, and ground shipping is free over $200 from our Montreal shop.
It is a thick, tear-resistant poster stock, roughly twice the weight of typical poster paper. It hangs flatter, survives repositioning, and gives colours a rich, saturated look.
Aim for 100 to 150 dpi at the final printed size. Viewing distance does the rest: a poster read from three metres away simply does not need 300 dpi.
We recommend keeping paper posters indoors or inside a protected display case. For rain and wind exposure, choose coroplast, Sintra, or styrene instead.
Yes. Many customers order the poster plus the same file printed on foamcore or display board for easel presentation, so one design covers every display spot.
Always supply a print-ready PDF with at least 1/8 inch (0.125 in) of bleed on every side and crop marks included, built in CMYK. Keep important text and logos at least 1/8 inch inside the trim line so nothing is cut off. If you are not sure how to export it that way, our file preparation guide walks through the exact settings for Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Word. Prefer to design it yourself? Use the personalization option in the upload section to build your artwork right on the page before you order.
