We use digital poster printing and large format inkjet printers to turn your custom posters into vibrant, full-color prints that can captivate customers or simply look amazing as wall art.

If you are in Australia and New Zealand, you also have the option of getting your prints framed to make your custom poster last, and for that flawless, professional look.

The best size depends on the purpose of your custom poster, whether that’s to promote your business or simply display framed art on your wall! So for each size, here’s what we’d suggest:

• The A1 size is ideal for supersizing your message at trade shows, on window displays, or on your wall at home.
• The A2 size is the most popular poster size, as it’s great for store openings, sales, gigs, or events. Think of A2 as the best multi-purpose size!
• The A3 size is great for bars, indoor promotions, or on notice-board displays.

Regardless of your intention, remember that good design can get any message across, no matter the size of your prints.

To get a clear and crisp printing quality for your poster, make sure that the size of your design is properly configured to your desired printing size. Also make sure your images and illustrations are in good quality, ideally 300 DPI, so they clearly render on your print.

With our printing services, you won’t have to worry about any of this anymore! We offer automated proofing, so the size, resolution, color matching, cropping, and bleed of your design automatically adjusts to its best quality before printing.

To ensure that your poster lasts, make sure to print your design on a paper with at least a weight of 170-200 gsm. To make sure we provide you with good-quality posters, we print on 200-290 gsm high-quality paper, coated with a gloss to semi-gloss finish to make your design stand out.

To turn your existing promotional or social media materials into a poster, just upload and open your design in Canva. Click the Share menu at the top-right hand corner of the editor and click Print your design. Choose the Posters (Portrait) or Posters (Landscape) format and select Resize design. You’ll be directed to a new copy of your design now perfectly formatted to the size of a poster.

To turn your photo or artwork into a poster, just head over to the Canva homepage and click the upload icon on the upper right-hand side of the page. Just make sure that your images have at least 96 DPI in order to get clear, high-quality prints! Once the upload is finished, click Use in a design and choose the Poster format of your choice. You can now customize your new design with icons, illustrations, text, and more, and finally proceed to printing your poster!

To create a custom poster, the most important part is getting the design right. This helps effectively promote your business while staying consistent with the brand of your other promotional materials. With our poster maker, you can easily do this whether you’re an artist or not! Our top 4 poster-making tips to get you started include:

• Use a brand asset like a color palette, font, logo, or photo that you use in your other promotional materials. This helps customers quickly recall and recognize your business.
• Place all the important text details in one spot to avoid confusing your audience. Emphasize the most important ones in bigger fonts or prominent text colors.
• Avoid using more than 2 or 3 fonts, so your poster is easier and more enjoyable to read.
• Aim for one key image or a key theme, avoid cluttering your design, and make sure your elements are clear and high-quality.

Above all else, aim to keep it simple, and if you’re not sure, pick a template from check our wide gallery of customizable designs and make one your own.
