Outdoor Posters

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 1350 x 1350mm, 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 tensile strength, comparable to heavier PVC options, with an outstanding outdoor durability of 3 to 5 years.

UK shipping is free, exceptions apply.
