Poster printing
Posters and billboards are versatile advertising products suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on the type. At print24.com, you can order posters for advertising pillars, large-format posters for big advertising displays, twin-wall posters for election campaigns and events, or convenient DIN A4 and DIN A3 posters for display in universities or public buildings.
With us, you'll benefit not only from a vast selection of formats and special sizes but also from a wide variety of paper options, printing inks, and finishes.
Different Format Poster Prints
We print posters in various standard formats, ranging from DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm) to the 6-sheet billboard size (1,800 x 1,200 mm). For smaller spaces, DIN A0 (841 x 1,189 mm) to DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm) sizes are ideal. If you're advertising on billboards, we can print your posters in the appropriate 4-sheet (1,524 x 1,016 mm) or 6-sheet (1,800 x 1,200 mm) formats.
We also offer custom sizes upon request. You can order as few as one poster, making us a great printing partner for large promotions, as we can produce up to 50,000 posters. If you choose corrugated plastic posters, we offer formats in A3, A2, A1, A0, B2, and B1, available in both portrait and landscape orientations.

Which Paper Is Best For Poster Prints
A highly affordable yet eye-catching poster can be created using neon paper, available in 80 gsm thickness and colors such as red, yellow, or green. The budget category also includes posters made from offset and recycled paper, which have the advantage of being compatible with laser or inkjet printers for additional processing.
For optimized image reproduction with greater depth and brilliance, consider printing your posters on coated art paper. This premium paper comes in five different thicknesses, ranging from 115 to 350 gsm, with options for glossy or matte finishes.
Affichen paper is the only suitable option for wet placarding.
For more durable posters, we recommend using the 400 gsm thick premium cardboard with a matte finish.
STAFIX®STATIC is a 50-micron thick polypropylene film that adheres to almost all clean, smooth surfaces without any adhesive, using a static charge. The material is easy to apply and remove, leaving no residue behind.
Refine Your Poster Print Options
You can enhance your posters with cellophane wrapping, which involves laminating an additional film onto the front or back surface to give your posters extra stability. You can choose between a glossy or matte finish for the desired look. Additionally, we can treat your posters with a UV surface varnish to create a glossy effect.
Alternatively, you can highlight specific motifs or text with UV spot varnish or relief varnish. It's also possible to combine UV spot varnish with cellophane coating for a unique effect.
Print Options & Colours Options
We can print classic posters on coated art or offset paper using CMYK or black in combination with Pantone, gold, or silver. For full or large-area ink applications on larger formats, we recommend choosing special colors to ensure an even color image without significant deviations.
Gold or silver can be used to highlight specific elements of your posters, such as concert announcements, where artist names can be printed in gold or silver.
Except for Affichen paper and twin-wall posters, double-sided printing is possible.
As a special highlight, we offer two methods for printing with gold or silver inks: the traditional offset printing method and digital printing. The latter is suitable for small print runs. Gold Digital/Silver Digital printing uses metallic toner with special pigments that create a reflective effect, offering a quality comparable to offset printing. This allows for metallic effects even in gradations. With the "Gold/Silver Digital" option, four-color printing can be enhanced with gold and silver simultaneously. Luxurious silver and gold decorations add a professional touch to your design. Whether for subtle highlights or full-surface printing, silver and gold inks can elevate your poster from being just looked at to being truly captivating.
In addition to posters, we incidentally also sell many other top-class print products in top quality and at low prices. For example, you can also print Magazines, Flyers or Personalised folders at print24.com.
FAQ about product Posters
For outdoor use, we recommend Affichen paper. This specially coated, white paper is wood-free, wet, and alkali-resistant, with a blue reverse side, making it ideal for printing outdoor posters.
Posters are best placed on fresh, unused surfaces, but since this is often not possible, Affichen paper is recommended for outdoor advertising. The blue backing prevents the underlying posters from showing through when they are pasted over.
The packaging depends on the quantity ordered. Small quantities of 25-30 pieces are packed in a roll, while larger quantities are delivered flat.
Neon red corresponds approximately to Pantone 805, neon green to Pantone 802, and neon yellow to Pantone 803.
Although the poster paper is not waterproof in the strictest sense, Affichen paper is weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use. Unlike conventional printing paper, Affichen paper does not curl immediately when exposed to water.
While we cannot guarantee that posters will not fade after prolonged sun exposure, Affichen paper is a good choice due to its durability.
For display cases illuminated from behind, picture printing paper or backlit film is recommended, as the blue backing of Affichen paper can block the light.
The A1 format is particularly suitable as a standard size, but please note that larger formats, such as A0 or larger, may not be approved in all cities.
Some posters consist of multiple sheets glued together. A 1-sheet measures 508 x 762 mm and serves as the basic format, with other formats calculated based on how many 1-sheets fit into them. A typical format is the 4-sheet (1,016 x 1,524 mm), equivalent to four 1-sheets in portrait orientation.
There are adhesives specifically designed for poster paper. These can be used to soak Affichen paper posters and apply them smoothly and without creases onto fresh hardboard. For extreme conditions, adhesive strength enhancers and frost protection can be added to the glue.
