Mounted Posters

You can definitely upload your artwork in full bleed, so we can make sure that no important elements will be compromised during the cutting process.  The artwork needs to be built to the final trim size plus 1/8″ bleed on each side. Also, when generating the file into the proper format, do not use any crop or printer marks, as these will increase the dimensions of the design file.

The weight of these mounted posters is estimated to be around 0.785 lbs per piece without accessories.

Our mounted posters are digitally printed with long-lasting and vibrant UV inks, directly onto your choice of foam board or PVC plastic (sintra). The result is a more rigid and durable poster than our standard posters, which are produced by photo printing onto archival paper. Furthermore, our mounted posters can be displayed by propping up against an easel and those printed on PVC can even be utilized in outdoor environments.

At their most basic, posters are relatively large, eye-catching prints that combine text and graphics. Posters are typically printed on a paper substrate, although you’ll also find them printed on other materials as well. Since their beginnings in the 1500s, posters have often been used to announce important news, promote events, advertise products, or simply serve as artwork in and of themselves.

As noted above, our mounted posters are digitally printed with UV inks, directly onto your choice of 5mm foam board or 3mm PVC plastic (sintra).

We do offer a protective laminate on our mounted posters; this laminate has a glossy finish and it serves to protect your finished sign against scratches and other abuse. Not only does the protective laminate provide an enhanced appearance and added durability, but it also allows you to write on the poster with dry-erase markers if you wish to do so.

In their natural, unlaminated/uncoated state, our mounted posters will have more of a satin look to them – that’s simply a result of printing directly with UV ink onto the foam board or plastic/sintra. As noted above, however, you have the option of adding a protective laminate that will produce a glossy finish. The glossy finish will be brighter and more reflective than the natural matte appearance, and it will work especially well under low-light conditions.

You can order mounted posters in sizes ranging from as small as 4"x4" all the way up to 94” x 46.”

The most common sizes are: 8"x10", 11"x17", 16"x20", 18"x24”, 24"x36," and 36"x48.” But if you’re seeking an “uncommon” size, we can help you there, too – we can print our mounted posters in sizes as small as 4”x4” and as large as 94”x46”.

Mounted posters printed onto foam board are 5mm thick (about 3/16-inch), while our mounted posters printed onto PVC plastic are 3mm thick (about 1/8-inch).
