Most quote pages hide the answer you came for. You are trying to pin down a poster printing cost before a budget goes to the finance round, and the figure sits behind a contact form. At Paperlust Print Shop, the poster printing cost for Australian orders is published. We read the live price list on 4 September 2026, and every figure in this article includes GST.
The lowest order total is $71.59. That buys one A3 poster in the 297 x 420 mm size on 200 gsm synthetic CMYK. The cheapest price per unit in the table is $9.88, which applies to ten A3 posters on the same stock. Those two figures frame the range, and the table below shows how the numbers move between them.
The short version
- The entry price is $71.59 for one A3 poster, sized at 297 x 420 mm and printed on 200 gsm synthetic CMYK.
- The per-unit floor is $9.88 each for 10 A3 posters on the same 200 gsm synthetic stock.
- The priced configuration is 200 gsm synthetic CMYK in A3, A2 or A1.
- Delivery is $15 standard or $60 express per order, anywhere in Australia, GST included.
- Every price here includes GST and was read from the live page on 4 September 2026.
What poster printing costs in Australia right now
The table on this page was read from the live Posters product page on 4 September 2026. At the time of writing, the lowest order total is $71.59 for a single A3 poster measuring 297 x 420 mm, produced on the 200 gsm synthetic stock in CMYK. The lowest price per unit is $9.88, which appears at ten units of the same A3 size and configuration.
The table prices configurations at quantities of 1, 2, 5 and 10 across three sizes: A3 at 297 x 420 mm, A2 at 420 x 594 mm, and A1 at 594 x 841 mm. Each figure is a total including GST, with the per-unit figure shown in brackets. That is the format that makes the price move visible.
The entry total and the per-unit floor come from the same configuration, so the difference between them is entirely a quantity effect. That is the number most people search for when they ask how much posters cost: not a single poster, but the point where the per-unit cost stops feeling like a bespoke run. If your job sits outside those rows, the product page is the live reference.
Poster prices table: total spend and price per unit
The table below shows poster prices for one configuration: 200 gsm synthetic stock with CMYK output. Each row covers a single size, and each column covers a quantity. The first figure in each cell is the total for the order, including GST. The figure in brackets is the price per unit. You can compare totals down a column or prices per unit across a row depending on what matters more to the budget.
| Size / configuration | Qty 1 | Qty 2 | Qty 5 | Qty 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A3, 297 x 420 mm | $71.59 ($71.59 each) | $74.27 ($37.13 each) | $83.42 ($16.68 each) | $98.81 ($9.88 each) |
| A2, 420 x 594 mm | $74.77 ($74.77 each) | $80.03 ($40.01 each) | $98.31 ($19.66 each) | $129.19 ($12.91 each) |
| A1, 594 x 841 mm | $80.77 ($80.77 each) | $92.37 ($46.18 each) | $129.98 ($25.99 each) | $181.11 ($18.11 each) |
Read the table left to right to see how the same size behaves as the quantity increases. A3 posters cost $71.59 for one unit, $74.27 for two, $83.42 for five and $98.81 for ten. The print specification stays the same. Only the total and the per-unit figure change, which is why the per-unit figure is the better number for a like-for-like comparison between quantities.
What moves the poster printing cost
Three levers in the price table move the poster printing cost. Quantity moves the price per unit. Size moves the total at any fixed quantity. Material and finish set the base for every figure in this table.
Quantity is the clearest lever. A single A3 poster totals $71.59, and the price per unit is $71.59. Ten A3 posters total $98.81, and the price per unit drops to $9.88. The total increases in a modest way, but each poster becomes much cheaper. The same pattern shows at A2, where five units cost $19.66 each and ten units cost $12.91 each, and at A1, where the per-unit figure falls from $25.99 at five units to $18.11 at ten units.
Size is the second lever. At the five-unit quantity, A3 posters total $83.42 while A2 posters total $98.31. Step up to A1 at the same quantity and the total is $129.98. The larger sheet is priced higher even when the quantity does not change. That difference continues at ten units, where A3 totals $98.81, A2 totals $129.19 and A1 totals $181.11.
Material and finish are the fixed base. Every figure in this table is for the 200 gsm synthetic stock printed in CMYK. If you move away from that configuration, check the live page before relying on a table figure. The table is not a quote builder.
Delivery and the total cost of a poster order
Delivery is charged per order, not per poster. Standard delivery is $15 and express delivery is $60. Both prices include GST and apply anywhere in Australia. There is no delivery threshold at which standard delivery is waived, so the delivery line stays visible on the invoice.
Work the delivery into the total early. The entry example is one A3 poster at 297 x 420 mm for $71.59. Add standard delivery and the total is $86.59. Add express delivery and the total is $131.59. That is the clearest way to see how the per-order charge behaves.
Delivery does not scale with the number of posters, which is worth remembering when you compare a one-unit order with a ten-unit order. The $15 or $60 charge is the same line on each, but it changes how much of the total is made up of delivery versus print. If the budget is tight, the difference between standard and express delivery matters more on a single-poster order than on a ten-poster order.
How to get the best price per unit without changing the product
The path to a lower price per unit is the quantity break already printed in the table, not a special code. If you were planning to buy two A3 posters for $74.27, you can see that five A3 posters total $83.42. The total moves from $74.27 to $83.42 while the price per unit drops from $37.13 to $16.68. That is a pricing change rather than a product change.
Quantity breaks reward a realistic forward view. Ten A3 posters total $98.81 and cost $9.88 each. If the job will genuinely use ten, ordering at that quantity is the cheaper per-unit decision. If it will not use ten, no per-unit saving justifies holding stock you cannot use. If you only need two posters for a one-off sale, the per-unit saving at five is not the point. The point is the total.
Size is the next lever. Choose the sheet that fits the job, not the largest sheet you can justify. At every quantity, A1 posters cost more than A3 posters. A larger sheet does not improve a message that only needed a smaller sheet.
Keep the order in the priced configuration of 200 gsm synthetic stock with CMYK output. That is the configuration the table prices. Before you order, check the live page because the figures in this article were read on 4 September 2026 and can change. If you are comparing options, browse the posters and promotional materials range for the wider catalogue. The poster sizes guide steps through the sheet dimensions in more detail, and large format poster printing options is the useful background if your job is heading past the sizes shown above.
How the priced poster sizes compare
Three sizes make up the table. A3 at 297 x 420 mm is the smallest and carries the lowest totals at every quantity. A2 at 420 x 594 mm adds sheet area and price. A1 at 594 x 841 mm is the largest option and carries the highest totals in the table.
For a short counter or a compact retail window, A3 is the usual starting point. A2 gives a message room to breathe when the viewing distance is a step or two back. A1 suits a larger wall or a display that needs to hold attention from across a space. Work from the space first, then the viewing distance, then the budget.
The totals follow the sheet size, not the other way around. At ten units, A3 totals $98.81, A2 totals $129.19 and A1 totals $181.11. The larger sheet carries a meaningfully higher total for a small business, and it needs a matching job.
Whatever size you choose, the job is produced in Melbourne, and a digital proof is sent before anything prints. The size decision sits with you before the order moves forward. A larger sheet does not add clarity. It only adds cost unless the space calls for it.
