WHAT WE PRINT
From shop windows to exhibition spaces.
Promote an offer, guide visitors or bring your brand into a space. These are some of the ways we can help with large format print.
Large format printing gives your message room to work beyond the page. It covers posters, banners, signs and graphics designed to be seen in a space, often from further away.
A temporary offer in a shop window has different needs from an outdoor banner or a display you take to several events. Size, viewing distance, surface and length of use all help determine the right specification.
Start with the setting
Tell us where the print will go, who needs to see it and how long it should be in place. Measurements and a photo of the location are useful. We can help you choose a format and material, then plan artwork that keeps your message clear at the intended viewing distance.
Choose materials for the setting
Paper posters, flexible banners and rigid display boards each serve a different purpose. Tell us whether the print will be indoors or outdoors, how long it will be used and whether it needs to travel between events. We can recommend a suitable option for the job.
FROM IDEA TO DISPLAY
Bring your next display into focus.
Start with the space, the message and your deadline. We can help you turn those details into a clear print brief.
Share the space and the brief
Tell us what you need, the finished dimensions, quantity and deadline. Include where it will be used, how it will be displayed and any photos, templates or existing artwork.
Agree the material and artwork
We’ll discuss the format, material and finishing, then quote for the agreed specification. We can check your artwork or help develop a design, with any proofing requirements agreed before production.
Print, finish and get it ready
Once the specification and artwork are approved, your job moves into printing and finishing. We’ll confirm production timing and collection or delivery arrangements, along with any display requirements agreed in your quote.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Large format print, explained.
Choosing a material or preparing artwork for a bigger space? Here are some useful starting points.
It depends on the setting, the finish you want and how long the print needs to last. A paper poster may suit a framed indoor display, while a banner or rigid board serves a different purpose. Tell us about the location, exposure to weather and whether you plan to reuse the print so we can recommend an appropriate specification.
Yes, with a material, finish and fixing method suited to the location. Outdoor use needs to be part of the brief from the start. Let us know how exposed the site is and how long the print will be in place so we can discuss suitable options and expected use.
Send us the finished dimensions and details of any frame, stand or display system. If you have a manufacturer’s artwork template, include it. We can check the requirements and confirm a suitable print size and finish before quoting.
Supply a print-ready PDF where possible and tell us the intended finished size and any scale used in the file. Image resolution needs to suit both the output size and viewing distance, so there is no single setting for every display. Vector logos and text scale cleanly; photographs need enough detail for enlargement. We can confirm bleed, colour and file setup requirements for your job.
We can help check, adapt or create artwork for your display. Share your message, brand assets and any existing designs. If you also need help with fitting, tell us about the site, surface and access when you enquire so we can confirm what can be included and how it affects the quote.
Size, quantity, material, finishing and artwork preparation all affect the quote and schedule. Delivery and any agreed fitting requirements also need to be considered. Send us your specification and deadline, including the event or installation date, so we can confirm the cost and timing.
