Customised poster printing

The advantages of the custom-made poster

The main advantage of posters is their versatility: they can be used both indoors and outdoors, provided they are laminated, and they are just as useful for decorating offices or shop windows as they are for informing the public, or for promoting a new product range. In addition, they are easy to hang and can be placed on walls alone or in a frame for a more sophisticated result.

In our online shop, we offer you posters in pre-established formats (from A5 to A0 format), but we know that your project may require media with special dimensions: this is the role of the custom-made poster. Whether you want it to be visible from a distance, to be able to hang it on an empty space on the wall, to partially decorate your shop window without obscuring it, or to communicate at the cash desk of your shop: the dimensions are those that you choose and therefore fit perfectly with the space.

Available from a single copy, the custom-made poster also has the advantage of being economical, even when it is a very large poster: an ideal solution for all professionals who are looking for an effective communication medium that still allows them to control their budget.

The different papers available to embellish your poster

You have chosen to have a custom-made poster printed by a professional printer like COPYMAGE: this is your opportunity to embellish it and make it completely unique by carefully choosing the paper on which your visual will be printed. For this purpose, we offer you different weights:

• 135g paper: this is the thinnest of the range and therefore the most economical. It is very flexible and therefore ideal for internal use and will need to be framed for hanging.
• 170g paper: slightly thicker than 135g, this paper offers a better hold while remaining ideal for a framed poster.
• 240g paper: semi-rigid, this paper is perfect for posters that are to be hung without a frame using adhesive fasteners, on a temporary basis.
• 300g paper: the highest quality paper available, it offers a very high quality finish and allows the poster to remain in place for a long time without bending.

To ensure that every professional can have a customised poster printed that corresponds exactly to their project, all our papers are available in matt or glossy versions. Modern and sophisticated, the matt version offers a more upmarket look, while the glossy version provides excellent colour rendition for a brighter result.

Customisation and protection options

To make your customised poster even more personalised and adapted to your wishes, you can apply several finishes, such as laminating. This option, which consists of adding a very thin plastic film to your poster, allows you to reinforce it while changing its final appearance: glossy, matt or soft-touch (peach skin effect).

Do you want to highlight a particular element? Then the selective varnish option is the one you should choose. With standard or 3D selective varnish, an extra layer of varnish is applied only to the area of your choice: text, image or logo. This area will be highlighted or raised by the varnish, making it more visible.

Do you want to make your custom-made poster more rigid so that it lasts longer or can be handled without the risk of damage? In this case, we advise you to turn to laminating, which consists of laminating your poster on a rigid support a few millimetres thick (foam, PVC, Alu Dibond) in order to make it solid and resistant.

Laminating is a procedure widely used in the printing industry to make media and documents more durable by enclosing them between two thin plastic sheets. Practical and economical, this option makes the custom-made poster more resistant to humidity, dust and handling. It is an option often used for the creation of information sheets or menus, for example.

Good to know: in addition to its protective aspect, lamination also allows you to personalise the media, particularly thanks to these edges. You can choose between sharp edges, which stop exactly at the edge of the poster and are therefore more aesthetic, although less protective, or welded edges, which protrude from the poster and provide your poster with a perfectly hermetic protection.
