<\/h3>\nWhat are the standard poster sizes?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe most common poster sizes you\u2019ll see are 11\u00d717, 18\u00d724, 24\u00d736 and 27\u00d740.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If the sizes above don\u2019t quite fit your needs, sizes 12\u00d718, 16\u00d720 and 17\u00d722 are also available for print through PrintingCenterUSA<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat size is right for me?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe poster size you choose depends on what you are showcasing, how many posters you need, your budget, and what your desired impact is going to be.<\/p>\n
With small posters, since they\u2019re usually used for marketing purposes, they are most commonly printed in bulk. At PrintingCenterUSA, the higher quantity you choose, the bigger the bang for your buck. With large poster sizes, you may only need to print 10 to 20 copies to place at your different locations which is great, because they do come at a higher cost than the smaller sizes due to the larger press sheet sizes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
11\u00d717<\/strong><\/h3>\nPosters designed at this size are usually event posters you would see hanging on a community board. They\u2019re usually purchased in bulk because they tend to be marketing materials and have lower costs than the larger dimension posters. If you have an upcoming concert, prom or workshop you want to promote, 11\u00d717 posters are going to be the perfect option for you.<\/p>\n
18 x 24 | 16 x 20 | 17 x 22<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re looking to pass on important information (for instance, how to prevent the spread of a virus) or want to place a large image onto a poster (think back to the celebrity posters hanging on your wall in high school), these three sizes are going to be your go-to sizes. The informational posters you see in a doctor\u2019s office or clinic will most likely be one of these three sizes because there\u2019s enough space on the poster to convey all the needed information in a larger font size, making the information stand out better and be easier read from afar.<\/p>\n
Another popular poster type at these sizes are school posters. Teams, bands, choirs, etc. showcase their club photos, schedules and local advertising as swag for their fans and supporters. The most popular poster size for school club posters is 18\u00d724.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
These posters do have larger costs associated with them due to their size.<\/p>\n
24\u00d736 | 27\u00d740<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re intending on placing your poster in an outdoor case or at a bus stop, these larger sizes are ideal. The large poster printing sizes allow passersby to comprehend your information at a glance. If you\u2019re looking to create a movie poster like you see at the mall or theater, 27\u00d740 is the standard movie poster size.<\/p>\n
If you have a specific size in mind or need to fit an odd case size, we also offer custom sizes.<\/p>\n
Poster Design Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen designing your poster, it\u2019s critical that you make the important information stand out most. With the larger posters, you can make the font size very large and have more area to work with but with the smaller posters, you have to get creative.<\/p>\n
For example, with an 11\u00d717 event poster, you want an eye-catching title (which should be the thing that stands out most). Then, the second most important part is the date of the event, followed by the event information. Specifically, the time and location of your event. If they have to RSVP or if there are any entry costs, you\u2019ll want to show those clearly as well (or provide them with a call-to-action).<\/p>\n

If you are designing an 18\u00d724 informational poster for a clinic, chances are there will be a lot of text on your poster. In order to draw attention, it\u2019s important to choose an eye-catching background and title. Just make sure the background doesn\u2019t draw attention away from or make it harder to read the smaller, informational copy.<\/p>\n
Another thing to keep in mind when designing your next poster is to add .125\u2033 bleed around each side of your poster so there aren\u2019t any unsightly white lines around your edges after trimming. For example, an 11\u00d717 poster\u2019s final size would be 11.25\u00d717.25 after adding bleed. Learn more about bleed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
