Posters are one of the most versatile print formats available for businesses, educational institutions, event promoters, and retailers. Print Haus delivers professional poster printing in Melbourne, with delivery Australia wide, across a wide range of sizes, paper stocks, and substrates. From standard A1 and A0 retail posters through to custom large-format prints for exhibitions, campaigns, and workplace displays, we print with vivid colour accuracy and sharp detail at any size.
Choosing the right poster size starts with knowing where it will be displayed and how far away your audience will typically be viewing it. The table below provides a practical guide to standard poster sizes, dimensions, recommended viewing distances, and common applications:
| Size | Dimensions | Ideal Viewing Distance | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| A3 | 297 x 420 mm | Up to 1 metre | Point-of-sale materials, office notices, menu boards, and compact retail displays |
| A2 | 420 x 594 mm | 1 to 2 metres | Retail window displays, in-store promotional posters, and real estate office boards |
| A1 | 594 x 841 mm | 2 to 3 metres | Event promotion, retail campaign posters, school and corridor displays |
| A0 | 841 x 1189 mm | 3 to 5 metres | Large retail windows, exhibition displays, venue promotion, and building lobbies |
| Custom | Any dimension | Depends on size | Campaign-specific formats, architectural displays, wayfinding, and bespoke applications |
Custom poster sizes are available for any application. If your display space requires a non-standard dimension, our team can produce posters to exact specifications to suit your environment.
Large format poster printing refers to any poster produced beyond the standard desktop range, typically A2 size and larger. It uses wide format digital printing technology to deliver sharp, high-resolution output on paper, canvas, foam board, and other substrates. This capability is essential for retail environments, event promotion, educational institutions, and corporate communication where size and visual impact are central to the message.
Our poster printing capability forms part of a broader wide format printing service that also covers outdoor banners, signage, exhibition displays, canvas prints, and window graphics for any application requiring large-scale output.
We produce posters on a range of substrates to suit different display environments and durations:
Retail environments using posters alongside a shopfront upgrade may also want to review our retail signage options.
Event organisers running a recurring conference or trade show may also need a matching pull up banner for the entrance or booth.
A poster that performs well in one store window or one event booth is worth treating as a template rather than a single use item. Retailers running seasonal window displays, schools updating notice boards each term, and event organisers producing the same promotional format for recurring conferences all benefit from keeping a fixed size, stock, and substrate specification on file, so each reprint matches the last without revisiting size or finish decisions from scratch. This turns poster printing into a low effort, repeatable part of a marketing calendar rather than a one-off design and print job every time.
With delivery Australia wide, businesses with multiple retail locations or event venues across states can run the same poster campaign nationally through a single supplier and specification.
Most standard paper-based poster orders are produced within 1 to 3 business days after artwork approval. Foam board, canvas, and substrate-mounted posters may require one additional business day. If you have a specific campaign launch date or event deadline, contact our team early and we will confirm what is achievable within your timeframe.

We offer poster printing in all standard sizes from A3 through to A0, as well as fully custom dimensions for any application. Standard sizes include A3 (297 x 420 mm), A2 (420 x 594 mm), A1 (594 x 841 mm), and A0 (841 x 1189 mm). For non-standard sizes, please provide your exact dimensions when requesting a quote.
150 dpi at final print size is the minimum acceptable resolution for large format posters viewed from 2 metres or more, such as A1 or A0 event and retail posters. For posters viewed up close, such as A3 point of sale materials or menu boards, 300 dpi at final size gives a sharper result since the reader is closer to the surface. If your source image is lower resolution than the size you need, tell us the intended viewing distance and we will advise whether it will print acceptably at that size.
Yes. Canvas is available for gallery style and premium decorative posters, and we also print on 5 mm foam board for rigid, self-supporting point of sale and exhibition displays. Backlit film is available for illuminated lightbox panels, and self-adhesive media is available for wall mounted or window applied installations. Tell us where the poster will be displayed and for how long, and we will recommend the substrate that best suits that environment.
A: Standard paper based poster orders are typically produced within 1 to 3 business days after artwork approval. Posters mounted onto foam board, canvas, or another rigid substrate generally require one additional business day for the mounting process. If you have a fixed event or campaign launch date, contact our team early and we will confirm what turnaround is achievable.
Print-ready PDF at 300 dpi, in CMYK colour mode, at full final print size is the preferred format, with a 3 mm bleed on all sides and all fonts embedded or converted to outlines. For very large format posters such as A0 or custom sizes, a lower resolution such as 150 dpi at final size is acceptable given the typical viewing distance. Let us know your final size and intended viewing distance if you are unsure which resolution applies to your file.
Our OPM service is the perfect solution for your repeat orders. There is no limit to what artwork can be uploaded such as stationery, business cards, or any products which may require custom editing.
