Turnaround options
Standard turnaround is confirmed on your quote. Express prioritises your posters when you need them soon. Posters are among the most straightforward items for same-day production, which may be possible for print-ready files approved and paid for before the configured cutoff, subject to capacity and paper stock. Lamination, mounting on board, large quantities of large sizes, specialty papers that need sourcing and artwork that needs resizing or bleed added can move a job to express or standard. Production completion and delivery arrival are separate.

FAQs
Satin, gloss or matt: which should I choose?
Satin is a good all-rounder. Gloss makes colours pop but reflects light. Matt has no glare and suits text-heavy posters and framed art.
Can my poster go outside?
Standard paper posters are for indoor use. For outdoors, ask about lamination, synthetic media or a correx board.
Why does my poster look pixelated?
The image resolution is too low for the size. A picture that looks sharp on a phone may not hold up at A1. Supply the original high-resolution file.
Can you print a poster from my PowerPoint?
Yes, but export to PDF at the correct page size first. PowerPoint slides are a different shape to A-sizes, so expect white borders or cropping.
