Overview

A poster has one job: get noticed. A3 posters printing here is full colour, edge to edge, made to order.

Materials for A3 posters printing

Options are 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.

Good jobs for it

Built for windows, noticeboards and counters. Shops, gyms and clubs use them in windows and on notice boards. Landlords and letting agents use them in empty shop windows.

Getting the size right

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

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

From file to doorstep

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. Your A3 posters printing is made to order and dispatched from the UK.

We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Questions

Quick answers about a3 posters printing.

How do I find out what my poster will cost?

Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £20.18. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout.

What happens after I order?

FatPrint receives it, a person checks your file, then your A3 poster printing is made to order and handed to the courier. You get tracking by email the day it ships. If anything needs changing, message us from the Contact page.

Do you check the design I upload?

Every upload is looked at by a person first: resolution, bleed and text size all get checked. If anything needs fixing on this A3 poster order, we tell you before it is made. 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.

Is there a discount if I buy more?

Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 99 is priced on this page for this A3 poster order. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

How long until my A3 poster printing order ships?

On Standard it is made and handed to the courier within 4 working days; Express shortens that to 2 working days, Saver stretches it to 6 working days for less. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?

No. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £20.18 starting price for this A3 poster order is the full price of the goods. Any delivery charge is shown before you pay.

Asked by buyers

How much will the A3 Poster Printing set me back?

£20.18 is where the A3 Poster Printing starts, set up as 120gsm Blueback and A3 · 297 × 420 mm 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 £20.18 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 the A3 Poster Printing today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the A3 Poster Printing are Express 2 working days, Standard 4 and Saver 6, 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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Could I lay out this poster 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 this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Indoors or outdoors, which material suits this poster?

Posters that go outside or get handled a lot want PVC or PVC-free, both of which shrug off water. 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 this poster, the material can be 440gsm PVC, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free. Before delivery, this poster costs from £20.18.

What are the measurements of the A3 Poster Printing?

It measures A3 (297 × 420 mm) and costs from £20.18. If that is not quite right for your space, the Waterproof Posters or the Billboard Posters 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.

Is there a minimum quantity for this poster?

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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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 £20.18, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £20.18 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.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. Before delivery, this poster costs from £20.18.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the A3 Poster Printing 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 this poster leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this poster costs from £20.18.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this poster?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the A3 Poster Printing out, against 6 on Saver, and costs £26.90 on the opening option rather than £20.18. 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.

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

Roughly 3,508 pixels across and 4,961 down for an A3 (297 × 420 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. 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.

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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 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. Make the artwork for this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. If you have no file, you can build the design for this poster in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

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. If you have no file, you can build the design for this poster in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

Once I finish designing this poster 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 this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Which material would you suggest for the A3 Poster Printing?

The material option has 4 settings: 440gsm PVC, 150gsm satin poster paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC free. 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. For this poster, the material can be 440gsm PVC, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free. For reference, A3 Poster Printing is sold at A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Our club is running a raffle. What poster size works for noticeboards and shop windows?

A4 or A3 is usually enough for a noticeboard or a shop window, where people read from a step or two away. Here, A3 (297 × 420 mm) starts at £20.18. You can order from 1 up to 99, so one for each shop that agrees to put one up is fine. Satin paper is right for indoors; for a poster outside, choose PVC or PVC-free.

What is the tidiest way to put this poster 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Where do the A3 Poster Printing and Waterproof Posters differ?

Set the A3 Poster Printing beside Waterproof Posters and a few things differ. 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 A3 (297 × 420 mm) on this page, and 5 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £20.18 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.

Should I get the A3 Poster Printing, or would Poster Printing suit me better?

Comparing the A3 Poster Printing with the Poster Printing, this is what changes. Sizes: only A3 (297 × 420 mm) on this page, and 8 on the other, the smallest A5 (148 × 210 mm). Opening price: £20.18 on this page and £19.40 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 Billboard Posters and A3 Poster Printing?

Set the A3 Poster Printing beside Billboard Posters and a few things differ. Material: 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on this page, against 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper on the other. Sizes: only A3 (297 × 420 mm) on this page, and 3 on the other, the smallest 4 Sheet Poster. Opening price: £20.18 on this page and £83.24 on the other. On the Standard service it is 4 working days on this page and 5 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.

Who looks after me once I have bought the A3 Poster Printing?

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the A3 Poster Printing is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it 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.

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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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

Of course. Tell us three things: where this poster 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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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 this poster 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. Before delivery, this poster costs from £20.18.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, this poster costs from £20.18.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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

Not for a change of mind. This poster is 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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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, this poster costs from £20.18.

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, this poster costs from £20.18.

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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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

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. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Can I design this poster 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 this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 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 this poster the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

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

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 this poster, the material can be 440gsm PVC, 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free. For reference, this poster measures A3 (297 × 420 mm).
