Product Description for A2 Posters | Full-Colour Poster Printing

A2 posters are finished at 420 x 594mm, making them suitable for retail displays, events and medium-format campaigns. This fixed format makes artwork planning straightforward and helps maintain consistent proportions across campaigns.

Paper availability varies by poster size. Across the current range, options include gloss, silk, bond and selected specialist stocks. Larger posters are normally read from further away, so typography, image scale and contrast should be designed around viewing distance rather than desktop appearance.

For framed or mounted displays, allow extra visual clearance around important information so it is not obscured by the frame rebate. For outdoor or persistently wet locations, choose a product specifically described as waterproof rather than assuming a standard paper poster will withstand the weather.

Supply print-ready artwork as a high-resolution PDF at 300dpi in CMYK (FOGRA39 where a profile is required). Embed all fonts or convert text to outlines/curves. Add 3mm bleed on every trimmed edge and extend backgrounds and images fully into the bleed. Keep important text, logos, QR codes and other critical content at least 3mm inside the finished trim. Crop marks are not required when the PDF is supplied at the correct trim size with bleed.
