We print, cut to custom sizes, and ship directly to your shop or your end client.

Why Sign Shops & Trade Businesses Choose Poster Paper

Poster paper is the simplest, most cost-effective large-format print product in the industry. It delivers excellent print quality on a smooth, bright-white paper stock with sharp detail, strong contrast, and accurate color reproduction — at a fraction of the cost of rigid substrates like foam board, polystyrene, or PVC. For jobs where clients need high-quality indoor graphics without the rigidity or expense of board-mounted signage, poster paper is the answer.

Poster prints are lightweight, easy to roll and ship, and simple to display using frames, poster rails, mounting tape, or tack strips. This makes them ideal for high-volume, quick-turnaround indoor projects where your clients need multiple prints produced fast and affordably — seasonal retail campaigns, conference materials, educational institutions, and recurring event programs. For trade printers, poster paper is the entry-level large-format product that introduces clients to your shop and leads to upsells on rigid media and banners.

Frequently Asked Questions – Poster Paper Printing

What type of paper do you use for poster prints?

We print on a premium, smooth, bright-white poster paper stock designed for large-format output. The paper has excellent ink absorption properties that produce sharp text, vivid color reproduction, and photographic-quality detail. It is a professional-grade paper stock suitable for retail displays, framed prints, event signage, and marketing materials.

Can poster paper be used outdoors?

No. Poster paper is designed for indoor use only. Paper is not waterproof and will be damaged by rain, humidity, and direct moisture. For outdoor signage, we recommend vinyl banners (13oz, 15oz, or 18oz) for flexible outdoor media, or rigid substrates like Coroplast, aluminum, or ACM (Dibond) for board-mounted outdoor signage — all available at wholesale pricing through Print Wisconsin.

How does poster paper compare to foam board and other rigid media?

Poster paper is the most affordable large-format print option, but it is a flexible paper product — it is not rigid and cannot stand on its own. It must be framed, mounted, taped, or pinned to a surface for display. Foam board, polystyrene, PVC, and other rigid substrates are self-supporting panels that hold their shape without a frame. For trade printers, poster paper is the right recommendation when clients need low-cost indoor prints that will be framed, mounted in poster rails, or displayed in retail snap frames. When clients need freestanding or wall-mounted panels, rigid media is the better fit.

Can I get double-sided poster prints?

Poster paper is single-sided only. The paper stock is optimized for front-side printing and is not designed for double-sided output. If your client needs a double-sided indoor display, consider foam board or PVC panels, which can support graphics on both sides.

What sizes are available for poster prints?

Our poster paper is available in fully custom dimensions. Enter your exact width and height during ordering, and we will print and trim to your specifications. Popular standard sizes include 18x24, 24x36, and 36x48, but we can produce any size your project requires — from small counter displays to large wall-filling graphics.

How do you display or mount poster prints?

Poster paper is flexible and lightweight, making it compatible with a wide range of display methods. Common options include retail snap frames (front-loading aluminum frames), poster rails (top and bottom clamp strips), picture frames, mounting tape or adhesive strips, foam mounting board (dry mount), tack strips, and simple pushpins or clips. For a more rigid presentation, poster prints can also be laminated and mounted to foam board or gator board for a finished, board-mounted display.

Do you offer wholesale or trade pricing on poster prints?

Yes. Print Wisconsin is a wholesale-only print partner for sign shops, print resellers, and trade businesses. Our poster pricing is built for the trade with no retail markup. We also offer volume discounts and custom quoting for multi-print orders, recurring campaign programs, and seasonal retail packages. Request a trade quote here.

How do I submit artwork for my poster order?

You can upload print-ready artwork (PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution image files) during the ordering process, or use our built-in online designer tool. For best results, ensure your files are set to full bleed with at least 150 DPI resolution at final print size. For posters that will be viewed up close (framed artwork, menu boards), 200–300 DPI is recommended for the sharpest detail.

Can you ship poster prints directly to my client?

Yes. We offer blind drop-shipping and direct-to-client fulfillment for all trade orders. Your client receives a professionally packaged product with no Print Wisconsin branding on the shipment, allowing you to maintain your own brand identity throughout the fulfillment process. Poster prints are rolled and shipped in sturdy protective tubes to prevent creasing or damage during transit.
