Posters
Posters are visual communication tools designed to convey information, ideas, or promote your brand, advertise special offers or promotions, advertise events in a concise, vibrant and eye-catching manner. They typically consist of a combination of text, images, and graphics arranged in a visually appealing layout. Posters serve various purposes, such as advertising products or services, raising awareness about social issues, or announcing upcoming concerts, movies, or exhibitions. They can be found in public spaces, such as streets, buildings, and campuses, as well as in homes and offices.
Posters leverage captivating designs, vibrant colors, and impactful slogans to grab attention and effectively communicate their intended message. With their ability to capture the essence of a concept or event in a single, visually appealing image, posters have become an integral part of advertising and visual communication strategies.
Here at Screentec we’ve been printing posters for many years using our range of print processes: Digital Printing for smaller bespoke runs or where variable data is required and Litho Printing when larger bulk runs are required.

FAQs
What are posters used for?
Posters are a highly effective marketing and communication tool used to promote products, services, events, special offers, and brand messages. They combine eye-catching visuals with concise information to attract attention and communicate key messages quickly in public spaces, offices, retail environments, schools, and exhibition venues.
What poster sizes do you offer?
We can print posters in a wide range of standard and custom sizes, including A4, A3, A2, A1, and A0. If you require a bespoke size, we can also produce posters to custom dimensions to suit your specific application.
What is the best poster size for advertising?
The best poster size depends on where it will be displayed. A4 and A3 posters are ideal for noticeboards and indoor promotions, while A2, A1, and A0 posters provide greater visibility for retail displays, events, exhibitions, and outdoor advertising.
What materials can posters be printed on?
At Screentec, we can print posters on a variety of materials including coated and uncoated paper, card, Correx, and Foamex. The most suitable material depends on whether the poster will be used indoors, outdoors, or for long-term display.
What's the difference between coated and uncoated poster paper?
Coated paper provides a smoother surface and enhances colour vibrancy, making it ideal for promotional posters and photographic imagery. Uncoated paper offers a more natural finish and is often preferred for educational, informational, or artistic applications.
Which printing method is best for posters?
We offer several printing methods depending on your requirements. Digital printing is ideal for short runs, personalised posters, and fast turnaround times. Litho printing is the most cost-effective solution for larger quantities. Screen printing is available for spot colour designs where bold, vibrant colours are required.
Can I order just one poster?
Yes. Using our digital printing capabilities, we can produce single posters or small quantities without the need for large minimum order quantities, making it ideal for one-off promotions, events, and presentations.
Are posters suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. For outdoor applications, we recommend more durable materials such as Correx or Foamex, which are designed to withstand weather conditions better than standard paper posters. Our team can advise on the most suitable material for your project.
How can I make my poster more effective?
The most effective posters use a clear headline, strong imagery, concise messaging, and a prominent call to action. Keeping the design uncluttered and ensuring important information can be read from a distance will help maximise impact and engagement.
What artwork format should I provide for poster printing?
For the best print quality, we recommend supplying artwork as a high-resolution PDF with images at 300dpi and any fonts embedded. If you’re unsure about your artwork, our team can review it and provide guidance before printing.
