What paper weight should I use?

You should pick a paper weight based on how thick and flexible you want your poster to be. Text weight paper is light weight and flexible. It is thinner but easily folded. Light can be seen through text stock. Text stock is commonly used for booklet interior pages, newsletters, and pamphlets. Cover weight paper is thick and sturdy. It can hold up to more wear but is heavier and not as flexible. Light cannot be seen through cover stock. Cover stock is commonly used for packaging sleeves, folders, and business cards. A higher number of points or pounds means the paper is thicker. For example, a 100lb text stock is thicker than an 80lb text stock, but not as thick as a 100lb cover stock.

Do you print double-sided?

Yes! We can create double-sided posters in full color or in black and white.

What coating and laminating options are there?

If you choose a coated paper (like silk or gloss), we can add a soft touch coating. Soft touch coating creates a velvety texture and matte appearance.

We can also add a gloss laminate. We use the most eco-friendly gloss laminate available. It uses heat to seal itself to your paper product. Because of this, a small edge of laminate will be left around the outside of your product to ensure proper sealing.

Both the soft touch coating and the gloss laminate are available for posters up to 19” x 25”.

How do my posters ship?

How your poster ships is dependent on the size and quantity. Smaller quantities are shipped in tubes. Larger quantities may require boxes. We will choose a delivery method that keeps your posters as safe as possible.

Do you offer mounting or framing?

Our apologies, but at this time we do not offer mounting or framing services.
