Outdoor Poster FAQs

Blueback is a poster paper with a blue-tinted reverse that blocks light. When you paste it over an older poster, the one underneath won't show through. It also stops light from behind from washing out your colours, which is why billboard and hoarding posters are printed on it.
Bigger than you think. People read outdoor posters from across a street or from a moving car. Use 18pt as your minimum font size and keep lines at 2pt or thicker. Keep everything important at least 10mm inside the trim, and allow more room if the poster is going into a frame.
If your sign needs to stand up on its own, or hang on a fence or railings for weeks, a poster won't do it. For a stake in the ground or a sign cable-tied to a fence, go for Correx Boards. For a sign on railings or scaffolding, a PVC Banner with eyelets or a Heras Banner may be better. And if it's going in a shop window or on an indoor wall, Indoor Posters will cost you less.
Yes. If a standard A-size doesn't fit your board or frame, enter your own measurements when you order. Measure the visible area of your frame first, then add 3mm bleed on all sides.
It depends on the material you choose. Blueback is a paper made for pasting onto boards and hoardings, so it suits short campaigns. If your poster needs to stay up through wet weather for longer, choose PVC or PVC-free, as these are more like banners without any eyelets.
Choose Blueback if you're pasting onto a hoarding or board for a short run, such as a gig, a club night or a sale weekend.
Choose PVC for posters that need to handle rain over a longer period. PVC-free does the same job as PVC but without the PVC, making it a more sustainable choice.
Waterproof Posters are printed on PVC or PVC-free materials only. This page gives you a choice of Blueback, PVC or PVC-free.
Yes, but you're in the wrong place. Billboard Posters are where you'll find standard billboard sizes. Outdoor Posters cover A-sizes and custom sizes for smaller boards, hoardings and frames.
Upload a CMYK PDF at 150dpi, with 3mm bleed on all sides and your fonts outlined or embedded. Our 150dpi requirement is lower than for small print, because people view posters from further away. Templates are available in AI, PDF and InDesign, and there are Canva templates for A4 to A0. Every order gets a free artwork check.
Outdoor Poster Printing
The power of compelling imagery cannot be overstated. At Tradeprint, we bring your creative visions to life with our robust, high-quality outdoor posters.
Our posters are designed to capture attention and ensure your message stands out. We offer custom sizes from 200 x 200mm to 1300 x 1750mm, printed on 120gsm Blueback Paper, PVC, or PVC-free materials.
The 120gsm Blueback paper is ideal for outdoor use, featuring a blue backing that prevents sunlight from shining through, ensuring your design is clearly visible. Although technically waterproof, these are intended to be pasted onto a board. If not applied in this way, they may wrinkle when exposed to damp or wet conditions. These posters last 4 to 6 weeks, making them a great choice for short-term applications. For a more durable, long-lasting option, we recommend our PVC or PVC-free posters.
Our PVC material is durable and tear-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use as well as indoor environments with high moisture, such as swimming pools or bathrooms.
The PVC-free substrate is just as durable and versatile as the PVC option but does not contain chlorine or dioxins, making it easier to dispose of than traditional PVC. While recycling options in the UK for PVC-free substrates are currently limited, we are working with waste partners to explore improvements, including testing in both lab and real-world recycling environments.
The PVC-free option features a unique four-layer construction, offering impressive durability for indoor and outdoor printed graphics. Additionally, it boasts excellent tear and ...
