What are Mounted Posters?

Mounted posters are poster prints made from a rigid material as opposed to a paper-based material, providing additional durability. They are perfect for propping up against a wall, resting on a display easel, or even hanging on a wall. Mounted posters can be created using two different materials; 5mm foam board or 3mm PVC plastic. The 5mm foam board is the more economic choice and provides a lightweight, vivid display. The 3mm PVC plastic is more durable and allows you to use your mounted poster in indoor or outdoor scenarios.

Mounted posters can be used as visual aids, business advertisements and promotions, directional or informative signage and more!

Which Mounted Poster Type Is Best for You?

Mounted Poster

Foam Board

Foam board mounted posters are designed to be both rigid and lightweight. Mounted poster prints on foam board have a paper face, providing a smooth printed finish for your poster. Foam board mounted posters are best used indoors.

Get Started

PVC (Plastic)

PVC (or plastic) mounted posters are a little heavier per square inch than foam board. With PVC your mounted poster will withstand even outdoor elements as the poster is directly printed onto the plastic surface. Although not as smooth as the foam board paper face, our high quality UV print process still provides excellent detail.

Display & Care

Displaying or hanging your mounted poster is easy and can be done in seconds. The easiest way to display a foam board or PVC mounted poster is to prop it up in a window or against a wall. You can also set them on shelves. For your convenience we offer two different styles of easels—one larger telescoping easel which can be used on the floor or on a table and an easel back option for smaller mounted posters (up to 24”x25”). If you want to hang your mounted poster on a wall there are multiple ways, but we recommend using 3M Command Strips (available for purchase with your order).

Mounted posters are easy to maintain and clean. For foam board mounted posters, gently wipe away dust and debris with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. PVC mounted posters can be gently washed with a damp cloth. If you have selected to have your mounted poster coated with a protective laminate, we recommend using a cloth with a small amount of citrus based cleaner or Dry Erase cleaner.

Q:
Did I read correctly – is shipping free on all mounted posters?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
Are these posters printed on archival materials?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
How long should I expect my mounted posters to last?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
You offer two material choices for mounted posters—which material should I choose?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
What are the best uses for mounted posters?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
Is one type of poster better than another for outdoor use?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
We want to install our posters in an outdoor environment that can sometime be prone to vandalism – will your mounted posters hold up to abuse?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
If I order several mounted posters, will the color and quality stay consistent? What if I reorder the same posters at a later time?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
Do you also sell easels?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes, we do. Our 66” easel is made from aluminum (silver color) and has telescoping legs that can collapse down to just 21" overall length. It holds up to 25 lbs and will display posters/signs up to 48" high. It comes with a storage/travel bag.

Q:
Can a mounted poster be installed into an A-Frame?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes, a mounted poster can be installed into our Premium A-Frame product (not our Standard A-Frame, which uses a vinyl decal graphic). Keep in mind that your graphic must be exactly 24 x 36 inches in order for the graphic to display properly.
