Poster Printing: A0 to A4, Made in Australia

Large format means A1 at 594 x 841 mm and A0 at 841 x 1189 mm, the two sizes that read across a room. Both come on 200 gsm Satin Paper or 200 gsm Synthetic, and 170 gsm Silk Paper is available for a single poster. Gloss Paper and Artboard come in A3 and A2 only.

Synthetic is the plastic-based sheet, tear-resistant and moisture-resistant, so it suits a window, a humid venue or a spot near an open door. Satin Paper belongs on an indoor wall where the poster stays dry.

One A0 poster on 200 gsm Satin Paper is $91.03 including GST and ten are $271.47. The A0 poster size guide covers the A0 size. Nothing prints until you approve the emailed design proof, then production takes 2 to 3 working days. A poster on 170 gsm Silk Paper is produced and sent on a separate schedule, taking 2 to 11 business days from proof approval to arrival depending on size and delivery address.

Each of the five stocks suits a different job. Synthetic is the right stock when a poster will face windows, humid venues, handling or covered outdoor-adjacent display. The plastic-based sheet is tear-resistant and moisture-resistant, so it stays flat and crisp where condensation, spills or frequent contact are part of daily life.

Satin and gloss are the everyday indoor paper stocks. 200 gsm Satin Paper is the balanced choice for most walls, while 170 gsm Gloss Paper adds extra colour punch for photographic and bright artwork. 350 gsm Artboard is the heavy, rigid sheet to choose when a poster must stand up to handling indoors. Gloss and artboard are available in A3 and A2 only, while satin and synthetic are available in all five sizes from A4 to A0.

170 gsm Silk Paper is for one large poster at a low price, with A1 at $35.00 and A0 at $38.00 including GST.

The right poster size depends on your display environment and how far away your audience will be when they read it.

• A4 (210 x 297 mm): Close reading, counters, noticeboards and menu frames.
• A3 (297 x 420 mm): Arm's reach to 1 m, noticeboards, counter displays, menu frames and office signage.
• A2 (420 x 594 mm): 1 to 2 m, window posters, event promotion, hospitality menus and real estate.
• A1 (594 x 841 mm): 2 to 4 m, retail windows, venue displays, exhibition panels and street-facing displays.
• A0 (841 x 1189 mm): 3 m and more, foyers, conference poster sessions and large retail windows.

Restaurants, cafes, bars, and accommodation venues are among the heaviest users of poster printing. Daily specials, seasonal menus, event nights, wine lists, and promotional offers can all be updated quickly and cost-effectively with fresh poster sets.

Synthetic paper is particularly well-suited to hospitality environments. It resists the humidity and temperature fluctuation of kitchen-adjacent spaces and shrugs off the inevitable wipes and splashes of a front-of-house area. A2 and A3 work perfectly in standard menu frames and noticeboard installations. A1 posters are ideal as standalone window or behind-bar displays designed to catch diners' attention from across the room.

For retailers, posters are among the fastest ways to update in-store messaging without changing fixtures or fitout. A sale event, new product launch, or seasonal promotion can be communicated with a fresh set of posters in your window, on the shop floor, and at the point of purchase, all from a single print run.

Our 200gsm synthetic stock produces sharp, vibrant full-colour output that does justice to product photography, lifestyle imagery, and bold typographic designs. The quality level matches professional retail display standards.

Event organisers and venue managers use posters for event promotion, wayfinding, session schedules, and sponsor recognition. A1 posters in frames or on stands are the standard for event entry points and venue corridors. A2 and A3 suit timetables, directional notices, and session-specific information.

Because our synthetic paper resists moisture, posters perform reliably in outdoor-adjacent environments, under festival marquees, in covered outdoor areas, and in venues with variable climate control.

Street-facing window posters are one of the highest-return display investments for real estate agencies. An A1 or A2 poster in a north-facing window drives walk-in enquiries for every person who passes the office. Synthetic paper withstands the direct sun exposure that window-facing posters receive through the day, standard paper yellows, curls, and fades under prolonged UV, while synthetic paper holds its position and colour far longer.

Poster artwork should be supplied at the correct dimensions with 10mm bleed on all sides. Supply artwork at a minimum of 300dpi at final print size. Accepted file formats: PDF (preferred for mixed-content artwork), AI, EPS, or high-resolution PNG. Outline all fonts and embed all images. Where photography is used, supply the highest-resolution original available, downsampled or screen-resolution images will not print well at A1 or A2 scale.

Not design-ready? Ask about our artwork and design services at checkout. Our team can adjust your existing file, flag resolution issues, or produce a print-ready design from your logo and brief.
