Choosing a poster size based on viewing distance
A general-purpose poster covers a wide range of jobs, from event promotion and retail window displays to presentations and simple wall art, and the right specification depends mostly on one question: how far away will people be standing when they read it?
A poster viewed up close, in a shop window or on a noticeboard, can use a smaller size like A3 or A2 with finer detail and smaller text. A poster meant to be seen from across a room or down a street benefits from A1 or A0 and bolder, simpler design, since fine detail is wasted at that distance.
Paper finish for indoor and outdoor posters
Paper finish affects both look and durability: a semi-gloss finish gives punchier colour for indoor use, while a matte finish reduces glare under bright lighting. If a poster needs to survive handling, weather or repeated display, ask about our more durable non-tearable stock rather than standard paper.
Printing the same poster design at multiple sizes
For a promotional campaign running across multiple locations, ordering in bulk brings the per-poster cost down substantially compared with printing a handful at a time, so it's worth confirming your full requirement before your first order rather than reordering small batches repeatedly.
If a poster is going somewhere it might get handled, touched, or exposed to some damp, such as a shop doorway or an outdoor noticeboard, our non-tearable stock is a more durable option than standard paper and worth the small extra cost over something that might need replacing within days.
If you're printing the same design at multiple sizes, for a shop window and a smaller in-store version, for example, tell us both sizes upfront so we can check the design still reads clearly once scaled down, not everything that works at A0 still works at A3.
About Posters
Order posters from Star Printers in Tooting, London. Use the price options above as a guide, then contact us if you need a different size, paper or finish. We will check what is practical for your artwork and deadline before production.
Posters are used for everything from event promotion and retail displays to presentations, exhibitions and wall art. The right choice depends on where the poster will be seen and from how far away: a poster viewed close up in a shop window can use a smaller size and finer detail, while one displayed at a distance benefits from a larger size and bolder design. Paper weight and finish, including a more durable non-tearable stock, affect both appearance and how well the poster holds up if it is handled or displayed outdoors.

Posters: frequently asked questions
Which poster size should I choose?
A2 suits close-up viewing such as shop windows and noticeboards, A1 and A0 suit distance viewing such as events and large displays.
Can I get a non-tearable or more durable poster?
Yes, see our non-tearable poster option if it needs to survive handling or outdoor conditions.
Can you print from a low-resolution image?
A higher-resolution file gives the best result at large sizes; send your file and we'll advise if it needs work.
A2 poster print and larger sizes
We print posters in A2, A1 and A0. A2 (420 x 594mm) is the most popular choice for shop windows, noticeboards and events, A1 (594 x 841mm) suits larger displays, and A0 (841 x 1189mm) is for big statement pieces. The price table above shows the cost by size and quantity, and ordering several posters lowers the price of each one.
For more detail on this size, see our dedicated A2 poster printing page, or the poster size guide.
Choosing the right poster size
Poster size depends on who will see it and from how far away. A poster in a corridor or at a counter can carry small text and fine detail. A poster read from across a room or from the pavement needs a bold headline, less text and high-contrast colours.
Same-day poster printing: what to expect
Many customers ask for same-day poster printing. Whether it is possible depends on your artwork, the size, the quantity and what time you contact us. A print-ready PDF sent early in the day gives the best chance. Message us on WhatsApp with your file and deadline before you travel, and we will tell you what is realistic. Read our same-day and next-day printing guide for what affects timing.
Artwork for poster printing
Send a PDF at the finished size, with 3mm bleed if the design runs to the edge. Photos must be high resolution: an image that looks sharp on a screen can print blurry at A2 or larger. If you are unsure, send us the file and we will check it, or use our free design service to build the poster for you.
