Choose your printing medium.

Select a medium based on how you’ll use the document. For example:

  • 50-pound bond is a heavyweight, bright white paper and an excellent choice for indoor posters and signs.
  • Photo papers in either satin or gloss finish make photos pop. Recommended for interior use.
  • Backlit film for photo-quality images, used in indoor or outdoor sealed boxes.
  • Cotton canvas is an ideal choice for art reproduction.
  • Polypropylene is an excellent and economical choice for one-time indoor or outdoor presentations. It cannot be mounted or laminated.
  • Scrim vinyl is a waterproof material suitable for large, hanging banners for outdoor use.
  • Tyvek is a durable medium that can be used indoors or outdoors. It stands up to repeated, prolonged use.

Choose your finished size.

The maximum size for posters, banners, and signs is 60 inches by 129 inches.

Choose a finishing option.

Select the finishing option based on how you’ll use the document. For example:

  • Laminating provides durability and protection from the elements. Cannot be used with polypropylene or Tyvek.
  • Grommeting creates finished holes for hanging banners and signs. We include 4 grommets with each banner per your request.
  • Mounting on foam core or gator board provides rigidity for standing displays and exhibits.
