Overview
A poster has one job: get noticed. Waterproof poster printing here is full colour, edge to edge, made to order.
Waterproof poster printing: what it is made of
It comes on 400gsm PVC-free, for venues and buyers who want to avoid PVC or 440gsm PVC, the standard tough banner vinyl.
Who orders these
Built for outdoor noticeboards, windows and wet areas. Landlords and letting agents use them in empty shop windows. Event organisers put them up in cafés, libraries and community centres before the day.
Getting the size right
For waterproof poster printing: 5 sizes, from A4 up to A0. 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.
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. Your waterproof poster printing is made to order and dispatched 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.
Also worth a look: posters and everything in posters, frames & pavement signs. Still weighing it up? Read the guide to Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx.

Questions
Quick answers about waterproof poster printing.
Who looks after the order once I have paid?
FatPrint does. Your artwork is checked by a person first, your waterproof poster is made to order, and a courier brings it to you with email tracking. Got a question first? Ask in the box on this page and a person answers.
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 your waterproof poster order. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
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, £21.68. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout.
Is the price shown for my waterproof poster order the full price?
Yes, for the goods. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery, if any, is shown before you pay.
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 your waterproof 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.
Which options does this poster have?
5 sizes from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A0 (841 × 1189 mm) and material (400gsm PVC free or 440gsm PVC). Every combination is priced on this page, from £21.68.
Asked by buyers
How much will Waterproof Posters set me back?
£21.68 is where Waterproof Posters start, set up as A4 · 210 × 297 mm and 400gsm PVC free 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).
If I buy Waterproof Posters today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Waterproof Posters 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.
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 £21.68 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.
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.
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 A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Indoors or outdoors, which material suits these posters?
Posters that go outside or get handled a lot want PVC or PVC-free, both of which shrug off water. Pick one on this page and the price changes to match. For these posters, the material can be 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free.
How big or small can Waterproof Posters be?
Smallest: A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £21.68. Biggest: A0 (841 × 1189 mm), from £40.01. 3 more are listed in between, each priced on the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) poster cost?
From £25.56, 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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
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 £21.68, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £21.68 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, A0 (841 × 1189 mm)?
From £40.01, 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 quicker turnaround for these posters?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 2 working days to get Waterproof Posters out, against 6 on Saver, and costs £25.10 on the opening option rather than £21.68. 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.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Waterproof 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 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2.
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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these posters?
Roughly 3,311 pixels across and 4,681 down for an A0 (841 × 1189 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. If you have no file, you can build the design for these posters in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
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. If you have no file, you can build the design for these posters 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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
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 A4 (210 × 297 mm).
How do I pick the right material for Waterproof Posters?
The material option has 2 settings: 440gsm PVC 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.
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, A4 (210 × 297 mm) starts at £21.68. You can order from 1 up to 99, so one for each shop that agrees to put one up is fine. The PVC and PVC-free materials cope with a spell outdoors.
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 A2 (420 × 594 mm), A3 (297 × 420 mm) and A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Should I get Waterproof Posters, or would Billboard Posters suit me better?
Set Waterproof Posters beside Billboard Posters and a few things differ. Material: 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free on this page, against 120gsm Blueback or 150gsm Satin Poster Paper on the other. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 3 on the other, the smallest 4 Sheet Poster. Opening price: £21.68 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.
Where do Waterproof Posters and the Poster Printing differ?
Comparing Waterproof Posters with the Poster Printing, this is what changes. Material: 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free on this page, against 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 8 on the other, the smallest A5 (148 × 210 mm). Opening price: £21.68 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 A0 Poster Printing and Waterproof Posters?
Set Waterproof Posters beside the A0 Poster Printing and a few things differ. Material: 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free on this page, against 150gsm Satin Poster Paper, 120gsm Blueback or 400gsm PVC Free on the other. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and only A0 (841 × 1189 mm) on the other. Opening price: £21.68 on this page and £26.95 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.
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. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 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 A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
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. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each poster is made to order for you. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
Can I buy Waterproof Posters and other products in the same basket?
Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
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. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
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. Sizes for these posters go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 5 in all.
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. Before delivery, these posters cost from £21.68.
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 £21.68.
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.
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 A4 (210 × 297 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 A4 (210 × 297 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 440gsm PVC or 400gsm PVC Free.
