Mounted Posters

Yes, you can indeed print both sides of your mounted poster, no matter which material you choose. While double-sided printing adds an extra cost, this option can be worthy of the additional investment, especially if you’re going to display the poster so that both sides of the poster can be viewed. And, keep in mind that you can have completely different messages printed on each side of your poster.

We do not offer custom shapes on our mounted posters at this time, but if you’re in need of a custom shape, check out our Foarm Board Signs or Plastic Signs.

We offer free shipping on orders over $99 as long as your mounted poster does not exceed 36” in any dimension. However, a mounted poster (and any rigid sign) with a dimension over 36” needs additional packaging care and will likely require being sent to you via freight shipping, which will incur additional shipping charges.

Our mounted posters are not printed on archival materials. Although our foam board and PVC plastic mounted posters are durable (and that durability is augmented by our UV inks), they are not considered archival. If it’s an archival poster you’re seeking, check out our standard posters which are printed on archival paper.

Mounted posters on foam board, when cared for and used appropriately, can last two years or more. Mounted posters on PVC plastic can last five or more years with proper care and cleaning; mounted posters used outdoors may have their lifespan shortened by harsh weather and/or extreme temperatures.

Your material choice is largely dependent upon how and where you will be displaying your poster. If your poster will be used indoors, then either foam board or PVC plastic will work for you. The foam board will be lighter weight and can be easily displayed with 3M Command Strips or Velcro (hook-and-loop) fasteners. However, if you will be installing your mounted poster in an outdoor environment, then you should choose PVC plastic.

Mounted posters can be used for just about any application you can think of! Some of the more common uses we’ve seen include: retail sales; business promotion; directional; regulatory/safety; real estate/property management; point-of-purchase; events/tradeshows; park/trail guides; and much more. Again, keep in mind that foam board mounted posters should only be used for interior applications; PVC plastic mounted posters can be used for both outdoor and indoor applications.

If you’re going to be using your poster in an outdoor environment, you should definitely choose our mounted posters printed onto PVC plastic. It will hold up well versus rain or snow, and it’s naturally resistant to dents, scratches, etc.

Well, depending upon just what degree of vandalism you might expect to experience, mounted posters printed on PVC plastic would be our recommendation. PVC is resistant to scratching and denting as well as chemicals; it can be bent, but it doesn’t easily break. Depending upon your specific needs, you might also check out our aluminum signs and acrylic signs – these are the two most durable signage types we produce.

Yes, whether you’re ordering 1 or 100 posters, the color and quality will stay consistent across each. With digital printing, there is no “drop off” of color and you won’t see the odd irregularities that can show up with other print processes due to fluctuations in ink, water, etc. The same holds true for repeat or follow-up orders –we save your orders in our system, so as long as you’re printing the same product on the same substrate, you can expect your latest mounted poster to be consistent with your previously printed mounted poster.
