Common Poster Sizes
Choosing the right poster size is crucial for making your message stand out. Consider both your campaign objectives and the space where the poster will be displayed. The most common poster sizes we offer include:
A0 (33.11" × 46.81" / 841mm × 1189mm)
Large and eye-catching, A0 posters are ideal for public information campaigns, academic posters, festival programs, explanatory charts, or to advertise commercial sales and product deals.
A1 (23.39" × 33.11" / 594mm × 841mm)
Widely used for promotional activities, movie and concert advertising, and other marketing campaigns. In the US, a popular variation is 34″ × 22″.
A2 (16.53" × 23.39" / 420mm × 594mm)
Half the size of A1, A2 posters are perfect for restaurants, shopping malls, and stores to promote menus, products, and events.
24" × 36" (610mm × 914mm)
This size falls between A0 and A1, commonly used in trade shows, art shows, and commercial spaces where a medium-to-large poster works best.
Large-format posters with accurate color reproduction give your artwork and message the best chance to speak, while smaller posters may be ideal for more intimate spaces.

Poster storage, packing, and distribution solutions
We can store your poster for up to a year, during which time we’ll deliver them to you or your chosen distributor—including the Amazon warehouse if you’re an Amazon seller—on request.
We ship posters flat or in tubes. Most customers prefer for us to ship their posters flat as it takes up less space in the containers and so costs less. To flat pack your posters, we lay them in stacks enclosed in waterproof packaging paper. Next, we put the stacks into a robust carton custom made to fit the posters exactly to avoid damage and again keep costs down. Then we tape all the edges and corners of the carton before shrink-wrapping and loading onto a pallet if it is to ship by sea, otherwise we don’t use a pallet as it’s not needed to ship by air and would add extra weight. Tube packing is more expensive because it takes up more space in the transport containers.
We offer shipments either by sea or by air with our trusted partners at FedEx and DHL. You can be confident that we will choose the most economical shipment option for you based on your delivery address.
