Overview
Billboard poster printing is for anyone who has booked, owns or looks after a poster site and needs the paper to go up on it. That could be a roadside 48 sheet for a local business, a 6 sheet panel in a bus shelter, a 4 sheet on a station platform, or a huge 96 sheet beside a main road.
Sheet sizes are a standard, not a guess
Poster sites are built to fixed sizes, and those sizes have names: 4 sheet, 6 sheet, 48 sheet and 96 sheet. The site owner will tell you which one theirs takes, so ask before you design anything. Order that exact size, from 1 to 99 copies, and think about a spare or two in case one gets damaged or you want to swap designs mid-campaign.
Blueback or satin?
- 120gsm Blueback: paper with a blue reverse, which stops the previous poster showing through when you paste over it. The usual pick for outdoor boards.
- 150gsm Satin Poster Paper: smoother, with a soft sheen, for framed panels and indoor sites where colour and fine detail matter.
Billboard poster printing: designing for distance
A roadside board is read from a moving car in a few seconds. Keep it to a handful of words, one strong image and a logo big enough to spot at a glance. A short web address is easier to remember than a phone number. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service; a person checks every uploaded file for free. Our artwork guidelines explain bleed and resolution for large prints.
Timing and delivery
Standard production is 5 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, express from 3, saver 7, so leave some slack before your posting date. Posters are made to order and dispatched from the UK. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; see delivery for areas and timings. Smaller sizes are in posters, and rigid signs are compared in Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx.

Questions
Quick answers about billboard poster printing.
Is the price shown for my billboard poster order the full price?
Yes, for the goods. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. Delivery, if any, is shown before you pay.
Will someone look at my file before the billboard poster is printed?
Yes. A person checks every file you upload before printing starts, looking at resolution, bleed and whether the text will come out cleanly. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Can I order several posters at once?
Yes. Anything from 1 up to 99 is priced on this page. The price per piece usually drops as the number goes up, which helps clubs and shops ordering in bulk. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
Can I check the cost before I order?
It starts at £83.24, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Which sizes can I get a billboard poster in?
There are 4: 48 Sheet Poster (1524 × 762 mm), 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm), 6 Sheet Poster (1200 × 1800 mm) or 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm). Prices start at £83.24 and change with the size you pick.
What is a billboard poster made of?
You can have 150gsm Satin Poster Paper or 120gsm Blueback, with the design printed in full colour. Tell us where it is going if you are unsure which suits. It comes in 4 sizes. Prices start at £83.24.
Asked by buyers
How much will Billboard Posters set me back?
£83.24 is where Billboard Posters start, set up as 4 sheet poster (1016 × 1524 mm) and 120gsm Blueback on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £83.24 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
If I buy Billboard Posters today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Billboard Posters are Express 3 working days, Standard 5 and Saver 7, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Material choices for Billboard Posters: 150gsm Satin Poster Paper or 120gsm Blueback.
Could I lay out these posters myself on your website?
Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
Indoors or outdoors, which material suits these posters?
A poster in a frame or pinned up inside is well served by 150gsm satin paper. Pasting up on a hoarding or billboard? 120gsm blueback is made for that, and its blue back hides whatever is beneath. Pick one on this page and the price changes to match. For these posters, the material can be 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest poster I can order here?
Smallest: 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm), from £83.24. Biggest: 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), from £437.92. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
Can a private person buy a single poster?
Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £83.24, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £83.24 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.
How much for the biggest size, 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm)?
From £437.92, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.
Could you price a 6 Sheet Poster (1200 × 1800 mm) poster for me?
From £97.26, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.
Is there a minimum quantity for these posters?
The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 99; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Before delivery, these posters cost from £83.24.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Billboard Posters cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these posters leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these posters?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 3 working days to get Billboard Posters out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £96.38 on the opening option rather than £83.24. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these posters?
Roughly 12,000 pixels across and 3,000 down for a 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm) design, which is 100 dpi. That is plenty for something people read from a few metres away; anywhere from 100 to 150 dpi at full size will do. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.
Once I finish designing these posters online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
Can you explain the material setting for Billboard Posters?
The material option has 2 settings: 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm satin poster paper. It is what your design gets printed onto. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds.
What is the tidiest way to put these posters up?
Inside, a snap or clip frame looks neatest, and poster hangers work well too; for a week or two on a painted wall, removable putty or tape is fine. Outside, pair a water-resistant material with a weatherproof case or frame. Check the frame opening against what you order; sizes here include 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 6 Sheet Poster (1200 × 1800 mm) and 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
Should I get Billboard Posters, or would A0 Poster Printing suit me better?
Set Billboard Posters beside the A0 Poster Printing and a few things differ. Material: 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper on this page, against 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm), and only A0 (841 × 1189 mm) on the other. Opening price: £83.24 on this page and £26.95 on the other. On the Standard service it is 5 working days on this page and 4 on the other. Choose by where it is going and for how long.
Where do Billboard Posters and the A1 Poster Printing differ?
Comparing Billboard Posters with the A1 Poster Printing, this is what changes. Material: 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper on this page, against 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm), and only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on the other. Opening price: £83.24 on this page and £22.82 on the other. On the Standard service it is 5 working days on this page and 4 on the other. Choose by where it is going and for how long.
How would I decide between Poster Printing and Billboard Posters?
Comparing Billboard Posters with the Poster Printing, this is what changes. Material: 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper on this page, against 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm), and 8 on the other, the smallest A5 (148 × 210 mm). Opening price: £83.24 on this page and £19.40 on the other. On the Standard service it is 5 working days on this page and 4 on the other. Choose by where it is going and for how long.
Who looks after me once I have bought Billboard Posters?
You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, Billboard Posters are printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers them with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.
Next year we will want the same poster again. Is reordering easy?
Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. For online designs, the print-ready PDF from the original paid order is waiting in My Account and your confirmation email. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Before delivery, these posters cost from £83.24.
Our club needs a big batch of posters, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Can I send these posters back if I no longer need them?
Not for a change of mind. These posters are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.
I am not sure which options to pick for these posters. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where these posters will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these posters is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, these posters cost from £83.24.
I am a parent volunteer with no design experience. Can I still order these posters?
Yes. The online designer is free to use: start from a ready-made layout, swap in your wording and see exactly what will print. If you would rather hand it over, typesetting costs £15: send the words and a logo, and we set them out neatly, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Either way, get someone else to read the names, dates and numbers before it goes to print. If you have no file, you can build the design for these posters in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?
No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. The free online designer also warns you about small text and blurry images before you finish. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for these posters go from 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm) at the small end to 96 Sheet Poster (3048 × 762 mm), 3 in all.
Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?
Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
Can I design these posters first and show the committee before we pay?
Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these posters the same size as the one you order, such as 4 Sheet Poster (1016 × 1524 mm).
How should we keep these posters in good condition until we need them?
Flat, dry and dark is the rule. Leave them in their box, away from damp, direct sun and heaters. Damp paper curls and can jam a printer, while sunlight slowly fades the ink. Take a handful at a time and keep the rest boxed. For these posters, the material can be 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper.
Can these posters go in the recycling bin afterwards?
Plain paper and card without lamination go in with ordinary paper recycling, so once the event, offer or year is over they can go in the paper bin at home or work. Lamination, foil and plastic make recycling harder, and rules vary from one council to the next, so check what yours accepts before binning those. For these posters, the material can be 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper.
