Signage & Display

Large-format paper poster

Flat printed paper, no substrate. The cheapest, fastest indoor graphic for windows, frames, and walls when it only needs to last the promotion.

What it is

A digitally printed sheet of poster paper, typically a coated stock around 150–250 gsm in matte, satin, or gloss. It ships flat or rolled with no rigid backing, so it gets taped or pinned to a wall, slipped into a frame or snap-frame, or hung in a window.

Choose it when

You need an indoor graphic fast and cheap and it only has to last the promotion. If it has to stand on its own, survive handling, or live outdoors, step up to a rigid sign (foam board, PVC) or, for glass, an adhesive window film.

Strengths

Lowest cost per square foot of any printed graphic
Same-day or next-day turnaround on digital presses
Cheap to swap, so a campaign can rotate weekly without guilt
Ships flat or in a tube, light and easy to mail
Coated stock holds sharp photographic detail and saturated color

Watch-outs

– Paper, so it tears, creases, and shows fingerprints
– Curls and ripples in humidity, especially unframed and over 18x24
– Fades in direct sun; it is not built for window exposure beyond a campaign
– Needs a frame, tape, or pins to mount; nothing built in
– No structure of its own, so it sags off the wall over time

Not the right call for: Any outdoor placement · Long-term or permanent signage · High-touch surfaces where it gets handled or bumped · Sun-blasted storefront windows for months on end
