Poster printing

Personalised posters, an essential communication medium

Every company or institution has to communicate to its audience at some point. Whatever your field of activity, you may need to print in large quantities. You can use your customised posters to inform the public: 

• On the launch of a product or the opening of a new outlet
• On an upcoming event: exhibition, fair or trade show

Your A0-A1-A2 poster serves to communicate and convince at the same time.

The size of these customised posters has been designed to give maximum visibility to your communication. 

But you can also use them for simple decoration in your home or business. In this case, you can order a poster to reproduce a painting or a canvas. 

If you use A0, A1 or A2 printing for your advertising, you can combine it with with other communication materials to boost the effect. We suggest, for example, using A3 posters that you can stick in the window of your showroom. This is a smaller version of your large format poster to communicate your opening hours or relay promotional offers.

How to choose your A0 print, A1 print and A2 print at COPYMAGE?

Printing a large format poster should be done in several stages. We advise you to start by choosing the format that suits you best. 

Our classic formats are the following:

• A2 size 42 x 59.4 cm (or 40×60)
• A1 size 59.4 x 84 cm (or 60×80)
• A0 84.1 x 118.9 cm (or 80×120)

The A0 print is the largest and is mainly suitable for outdoor use such as on billboards. The A2 print is smaller and more suitable for indoor use such as in a shop, library or cultural venue.

If none of these three formats suits you, COPYMAGE can print posters in 100% custom sizes. 

In terms of paper weightyou can choose between :

• 135 or 170 g paper is recommended for an advertising poster.
• Thicker, more robust 240 g paper, ideal for a decorative poster. 

We offer two main types of paper: 

• Satin: For a beautiful photo finish
• Mat: For your presentations, your posters. It is possible to write on it. 

For the printing of your large format poster, you can choose between 3 types of finishing laminating, lamination and lamination.

• Laminating Laminating: This is the most common type of finishing and consists of covering the entire surface of your large format poster with a thin film. Depending on the choice of lamination, a matt or glossy finish is possible. Thanks to this process, your poster will be more rigidThis process makes your poster more rigid, easier to stick and protected from external influences.
• Laminating For your A0-A1-A2 printing, you can opt for a laminated finish. In this process, we cover both sides of the poster with a thin sheet of plastic film. This offers a better protection and a longer lifespan longer life if you hang your sale poster outside. When printing your large format poster, we invite you to choose between two types of lamination edges: welded edges or sharp edges.
• Laminating Laminating: we also offer the option of laminating your poster onto rigid materials such as PVC, aluminium or foam, to increase the volume and make the poster more robust.

Where to place your sales poster?

If it is an advertising poster , you can stick it directly on the wall. But if it is a decorative element, we suggest you frame it to perfect its finish. 

In any case, classic posters can be used on building walls, billboards or street furniture. The only requirement is that the size of the printed poster matches the size of the substrate. 

A poster can also reach its target in other ways. You can make it a gift to be inserted in a delivery parcel or a magazine. The recipient of the package can then hang your printed poster wherever he or she likes and advertise you for free.

How do you create your large format poster?

It is essential to make your poster attractive. To do this, you need to ask yourself the right questions. 

• Determine the very purpose of your medium To inform, to arouse a certain emotion (surprise, fear, need, desire, etc.) or to convince people to take a certain action (buy, recommend, etc.).
• Think about your target and its needs. This way you can define the key messages of the poster and easily sort out the information to be communicated.
• Define the design of the poster according to your graphic charter while taking into account the current trends in your sector of activity.
• Think about the environment in which your poster will fit, whether it is seen from near or far, on a low or high level, whether there are other posters in the area or not.
• Use visuals rather than text rather than text to get your message across, as they are more likely to attract the attention of passers-by.
• Arrange your content well, taking into account that the reading direction of a poster is by following the curves of the letter Z. Put the key message at the top left, the points to remember at the bottom right and the eye-catching illustrations in the middle.

Which media should you use with your personalised poster?

Large format poster printing is the best alternative for capturing the attention of the public, especially in a highly competitive environment. 

At COPYMAGE, we offer you other communication tools to promote a commercial offer or an event such as a trade show. You can use a tarpaulin or a banner to attract the attention of passers-by in busy places.
