Overview

A poster has one job: get noticed. A1 poster printing here is full colour, edge to edge, made to order.

Where it works

Made for A1 snap frames, A-boards and noticeboards. Landlords and letting agents use them in empty shop windows. Shops, gyms and clubs use them in windows and on notice boards.

How big?

Sizing A1 poster printing: it comes in one size, A1. A3 works on a notice board; A2 and A1 in a window; A0 when it has to be seen from across the road.

A1 poster printing: material and finishing

It comes on 400gsm PVC-free, for venues and buyers who want to avoid PVC, 120gsm blueback, the classic paste-up poster paper, 150gsm satin poster paper or 440gsm PVC, the standard tough banner vinyl.

Paper is for indoors and behind glass. If it goes outside, choose the waterproof option.

Artwork and timing

Got artwork? Upload it. No artwork? Use the online designer, or our paid artwork service (1 design, 2 rounds of changes). Either way a person looks over the file first, free. Standard production is 4 working days from when your order and artwork are confirmed. Express gets it done from 2 working days. Saver takes 6 and is there if you are not in a rush. Every A1 poster printing order is printed to order and sent straight to you from the UK.

Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Close relatives: posters and everything in posters, frames & pavement signs. The guide to Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx covers the choice in more depth.

Questions

Quick answers about a1 poster printing.

Will someone look at my file before the A1 poster printing 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. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Can I check the cost before I order?

It starts at £22.82, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.

Who handles my A1 poster printing order?

FatPrint takes the order and a person checks your file before anything is made. Each poster is made to order for you, then sent by courier with tracking. Got a question first? Ask in the box on this page and a person answers.

What is an A1 poster printing made of?

You can have 400gsm PVC Free, 120gsm Blueback, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper or 440gsm PVC, with the design printed in full colour. Pick the one that suits where it will be used. It comes in A1 (594 × 841 mm). Prices start at £22.82.

What can I choose when ordering an A1 poster printing?

You can set the A1 (594 × 841 mm) size and material (400gsm PVC free, 120gsm Blueback, 150gsm satin poster paper or 440gsm PVC). The price updates with each choice, so you can compare before paying.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the A1 Poster Printing?

Picked the way the page first loads, with 120gsm Blueback and A1 · 594 × 841 mm, the A1 Poster Printing comes to £22.82. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £22.82 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the A1 Poster Printing?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the A1 Poster Printing is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of the A1 Poster Printing?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £22.82 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

Which artwork services are offered with the A1 Poster Printing?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. 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). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?

Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Indoors or outdoors, which material suits this poster?

Satin 150gsm is the indoor choice: walls, frames and noticeboards. Blueback 120gsm has a blue reverse so an older poster underneath does not show through, and it is meant for pasting onto boards and billboards. For outdoors or lots of handling, PVC and PVC-free are the tough options that cope with water. Every material on this page is listed with its own price. For this poster, the material can be 440gsm PVC, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

How big is the A1 Poster Printing?

It measures A1 (594 × 841 mm) and costs from £22.82. If that is not quite right for your space, the A2 Poster Printing or the A3 Poster Printing may fit better. Spend £100 on goods and mainland delivery is free; below that it is £7.95. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.

How many posters can I buy at one time?

Anything from 1 to 99. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 99, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this poster is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one poster?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the A1 Poster Printing begin at £22.82, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £22.82 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Is there a minimum quantity for the A1 Poster Printing?

Yes. You can start at 1, with 2, 3, 4 and 5 as the next steps. Each price is the total for that quantity, so divide it to compare the cost of one item across a few options before deciding. For an amount outside the list, ask for a quote. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

Our event is close. Can the A1 Poster Printing be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the A1 Poster Printing can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £30.42, where Saver is £22.82 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the A1 Poster Printing?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. If you have no file, you can build the design for this poster in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this poster?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Once I finish designing this poster online, is the file mine to keep?

Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Does the material option I choose make a difference to the A1 Poster Printing?

It is what your design gets printed onto. For the A1 Poster Printing the list runs 440gsm PVC, 150gsm satin poster paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC free. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

What is the tidiest way to put this poster up?

Start with the frame: measure its opening and match it to a size here, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). Snap frames, clip frames and poster hangers give an indoor wall a tidy finish, while putty or removable tape is fine for a short spell on paint. For outdoor spots, choose a water-resistant material and put it in a weatherproof case.

Where do the A1 Poster Printing and the A3 Poster Printing differ?

Comparing the A1 Poster Printing with the A3 Poster Printing, this is what changes. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and only A3 (297 × 420 mm) on the other. Opening price: £22.82 on this page and £20.18 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Should I get the A1 Poster Printing, or would A2 Poster Printing suit me better?

Comparing the A1 Poster Printing with the A2 Poster Printing, this is what changes. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and only A2 (420 × 594 mm) on the other. Opening price: £22.82 on this page and £21.09 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

How would I decide between Waterproof Posters and A1 Poster Printing?

Comparing the A1 Poster Printing with Waterproof Posters, this is what changes. Material: 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on this page, against 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on this page, and 5 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £22.82 on this page and £21.68 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the A1 Poster Printing to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Who looks after me once I have bought the A1 Poster Printing?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the A1 Poster Printing is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

I am ordering this poster for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

I am not sure which options to pick for this poster. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the poster will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Next year we will want the same poster again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Designed it online? The print PDF from your first paid order stays in My Account and in the confirmation email, so you can reuse it. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place, along with downloads of designs you made online. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Can I send this poster back if I no longer need it?

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

Can I pay for the A1 Poster Printing by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making this poster once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this poster leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this poster costs from £22.82.

I am a parent volunteer with no design experience. Can I still order this poster?

You do not need to be a designer, and nobody expects a parent or a club helper to be one. You can use the online designer at no cost, which checks things like tiny text and blurry photos as you go. Or choose typesetting for £15 and send us your text and logo; you get a first draft and up to two rounds of changes. A second pair of eyes on the spelling always helps. If you have no file, you can build the design for this poster in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. For reference, this poster measures A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the A1 Poster Printing. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. If you would rather make it yourself, the online designer checks the technical side as you go. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while a printed item reflects it. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Can I design this poster first and show the committee before we pay?

You can. Designing online costs nothing until you order, so make a draft, show it to the group and tweak it as often as you like. The on-screen watermark is only there on the preview and is never printed. The designer flags things like small text or low-resolution photos as you go, but it cannot catch a wrong date, so have a second person read it. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?

Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

How should we keep this poster in good condition until we need it?

Store paper and card lying flat, in the box it arrived in, in a dry spot out of sunlight and away from radiators. Moisture makes sheets curl and can cause jams in a printer, and strong light fades the colours over time. Only take out what you need, so the rest stays clean. For this poster, the material can be 440gsm PVC, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free.
