Which material should I choose?

Blueback is the standard for pasted posters and billboards: the blue back stops sunlight and what's underneath showing through. Satin paper suits poster frames and snap frames. PVC and PVC-free are tough and weatherproof, for posters that go up outside without a frame.

How long will they last outside?

Blueback lasts about 4 to 6 weeks, so it's best for short campaigns. It's meant to be pasted to a board; left loose, it can wrinkle in the damp. PVC-free lasts 3 to 5 years outdoors, and PVC is just as tough.

What's the difference between PVC and PVC-free?

Both are tough, tear-resistant and weatherproof. PVC-free has no chlorine, so it's easier to dispose of. PVC also suits damp indoor spaces like swimming pools and bathrooms.

Will you check my artwork?

Yes. File Check is free and selected by default: our prepress team check size, resolution and more, and contact you if anything needs fixing. If you'd rather we fixed the problems for you, choose File Assist. We'll resize, fix fonts and correct the layout for a flat fee. Nothing goes to print until the artwork is right.

Can I send my artwork later?

Yes. Place your order and email your artwork over when it's ready. Production starts once we have it.
