Standard Posters

No, we only print our posters one-sided; this ensures the printed image is of the highest quality. We do offer two-sided printing on our cardstock posters and mounted posters as well as a number of our rigid signs – plastic, acrylic, and aluminum.

Our posters are offered only in standard rectangular shapes, in the sizes we’ve noted above. If it’s a custom shape you’re looking for, you can print any shape you desire with our 24pt cardstock posters. For custom shape signage you might also consider plastic, acrylic, or aluminum signs – all of these rigid signage materials can be cut into just about any shape you choose.

Definitely, and that’s a prime advantage to our printing process – the ability to change out your message and/or graphic with each individual poster, without any additional cost.

Your best finish options for environments with bright lights are metallic or matte. The metallic finish will accentuate your image’s colors and make it really pop, while the matte finish will “play nice” with the bright lights and minimize reflections. Avoid a glossy finish for spaces with very bright lights because reflections will wreak havoc with your image and your poster’s messaging.

No, there’s never a charge for printing as many –or as few – colors as you’d like here at Signs.com. From a design standpoint, however, we typically suggest avoiding the “jumbo crayon box” mentality when it comes to the number of colors you choose to utilize – too many colors can result in confusing the viewer’s eye.

No, we do not offer blacklight posters. Blacklight posters are posters that have been printed with special inks featuring luminescent qualities, allowing them to glow under a blacklight’s ultraviolet light. One option you might consider is a backlit decal – a digitally printed translucent vinyl film that will exhibit a vibrant, luminous glow when you place a light source behind it.

Depending upon your conference’s poster specifications, our posters should be ideal. Check the specifications for size requirements and/or how the poster will be displayed at the conference (displayed on a board/wall, tabletop display, floor display, etc.) and then design and choose your poster type accordingly. Tip: A matte finish will usually help in adding to your poster’s readability; reflections from a glossy finish can make content difficult to read.

Yes, these posters will work fine in a child’s room. If you’re concerned about fingerprints and other smudges, you might want to select a matte finish – it will do a better job of rejecting fingerprints than will a glossy finish.

Absolutely! Quick Response (QR) barcodes are a great way to direct customers and prospects to your website, online ordering, virtual store, menu, etc. You can find various QR code generators online, many for free. Once you’ve created your QR code, simply integrate it into your design. A few quick QR code tips: larger is better than smaller; place your QR code in a spot within the poster design so the viewer won’t have to kneel down or get a ladder to scan it; and be sure to test your QR code before and after adding it to your design.

No, our posters are not waterproof. In fact, direct contact with water or moisture can prove damaging to your poster, which is why we don’t recommend them for outdoor use (or installing them in your shower).
