Posters vs Roll-Up Banners vs Vinyl Banners — Which One Do You Actually Need?
Three large-format formats, three different use cases:
- Posters ($139) — flat printed pieces designed to be mounted on walls, in poster frames, in window displays, or on foam-core backing. Best for indoor use, menu boards, retail signage, event walls.
- Roll-Up Banners ($195) — freestanding vertical banners with their own stand. Best for trade shows, event entries, conference signage. 30-second setup, portable carrying case.
- Vinyl Banners (Glossy or Matte at $54) — weather-resistant printed vinyl with grommets or hemming for outdoor hanging. Best for storefront banners, fence-mounted signs, grand opening exteriors, sports field signage. Hold up in rain, wind and direct sunlight.
For an indoor retail window: poster. For a trade show booth: roll-up banner. For an outdoor storefront banner: vinyl banner. Picking the wrong format means either over-paying (using a roll-up where a poster works) or under-performing (using a paper poster outdoors where vinyl is needed).
Poster Design Best Practices
A poster gets glanced at from 6 to 15 feet away. Design accordingly:
- One big headline visible from across the room. Font size at 11×17 should be 60pt+ for the main headline. At 24×36, the headline should fill substantial vertical space.
- One visual focal point. A photo, an illustration, a chart. Multiple competing visuals at poster scale create visual noise.
- Hierarchy is everything. Headline (biggest), supporting message (medium), details (smallest). The viewer should be able to absorb the headline at 15 feet and the details at 3 feet.
- High-contrast colours. Posters compete with retail lighting, signage clutter and other visual demands. Subtle pastels disappear; bold colours survive.
- One specific action. Date, location, phone, QR code, sale ends. Vague calls to action get ignored.
- Leave breathing room. A clean poster with strong message reads better than a busy poster trying to fit everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What poster sizes are available?
Common sizes: 11×17 (tabloid), 12×18, 13×19, 18×24, 24×36 (movie poster), and larger custom sizes. Specify your size at order time. For non-standard sizes, call us at (647) 501-7200.
How does offset poster printing compare to inkjet large-format?
Offset printing produces noticeably better colour fidelity, sharper image detail and more consistent results at scale. Inkjet large-format is faster for one-off prints but trades off colour saturation and dot pitch. For event use, retail display and menu boards where the poster will be seen by many people over weeks or months, offset is the right call.
Are posters writeable for menu boards?
Standard posters have a glossy finish that does not accept ballpoint or marker ink well. For menu boards where you want to write daily specials, consider laminating the poster after printing or ordering a chalkboard-style design that complements the printed elements with writable surfaces.
Can you do double-sided posters?
Yes — 4/4 printing prints both sides in full colour. Useful for hanging menu boards, window posters meant to be seen from inside and outside, and POP displays.
How many posters should I order?
For a single event or venue, 5 to 25 posters. For a multi-location rollout (chain restaurants, retail networks, conference signage), 50 to 250+. Per-piece cost drops at higher quantities.
How are posters shipped — flat or rolled?
Posters at 11×17 and 12×18 ship flat in protective sleeves. Larger sizes ship rolled in cardboard tubes for protection in transit.
Can you design my poster?
Yes. Send us your content, photos and brand guidelines, and our design team will create a print-ready layout. Free PDF proof before printing.
