Free design templates
Each template has the bleed, cut line and safe area already marked, so your file is set up correctly first time:
- Download your size: PDF for Illustrator, Affinity or InDesign; PNG for Photoshop or Canva.
- Open it in your design app, or place it on a locked layer at 100% size. It already includes the 3mm bleed.
- Design over it: run your background right to the red bleed edge and keep text and logos inside the green safe area.
- Hide or delete the template layer, then export a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300dpi) and upload it with your order.
Delivered within 3-5 working days of ordering, once your free print preview is approved. That window is the whole job, not just the van: we print, finish and dispatch your order and the tracked carrier delivers it. The clock starts when you approve your free print preview, so approving promptly is the fastest thing you can do.

- • Next-day delivery: next working day when you order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri, priced at checkout
- • Next-day by 1pm or by 10.30am: next working day, with the courier aiming for the time chosen (a target, not a guarantee), when you order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri, priced at checkout
- • Saturday delivery: Saturday, for orders approved by 2.30pm on Friday, priced at checkout
- • Same-day delivery in London: order up to 500 units with print-ready artwork and approve it by 2.30pm Mon–Fri, and a tracked courier delivers the same day. Priced at checkout, including same-day production.
Northern Ireland, the Highlands & Islands, the Isle of Wight, offshore and international addresses are priced live at checkout, as are unusually heavy orders: over 15kg is £14.95 whatever the order value. Flat prints bigger than A4, such as A3 posters or 25 cm stickers, travel in a larger, board-backed pack: paid delivery services carry a packing charge for it, shown at checkout, and free standard delivery stays free. Very large pieces (any side over 120 cm, such as A0 boards) go by courier rather than post, at the courier price shown at checkout for each service. Pieces over 150 cm, or over 100 cm both ways, are beyond the parcel couriers: they travel with a specialist courier at the rate shown at checkout, or we split the artwork into smaller panels for you free of charge.

Every order is covered by the Presswift Guarantee: printed to the print preview you approve and the specification you choose, or put right. If what arrives is damaged, short or does not match the approved print preview, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number, photos of the problem and a count of the affected copies, and keep the copies unused while we look. We reprint the affected copies to the same specification or, where a reprint is not practical, refund them; approved refunds reach your original payment method within 7-10 working days. Read the Presswift Guarantee.
Because every job is printed to your own artwork and specification, we cannot take a return simply because you have changed your mind, and errors carried through the print preview you approved, or colour and trim variation within normal print tolerance, are not print faults. That is what the free print preview is for: check the colours, wording and layout on the print preview and nothing goes to press until you are happy with it.
What poster sizes do you print?
We print the full A-series from A6 up to A0 — A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6 — the most popular being A1 and A2 for display posters, A3 for windows and interiors, and A4, A5 or A6 for a small poster on a desk, counter or noticeboard. Our paper size guide has the exact dimensions.
Which paper weight is best for posters?
Our large-format posters (A2, A1 and A0) print on 120gsm stock — the industry-standard weight for display posters, light enough to hang easily while holding colour beautifully. A4, A5 and A6 posters print on our 170gsm or 250gsm silk and gloss stocks, a sturdier weight suited to a small poster that will be handled.
Matt or gloss finish?
Matt is easy to read under lighting and avoids glare; gloss makes photography and bright colours stand out. Both print sharply — it comes down to the look you want.
Can you print posters for outdoor use?
Our standard posters are for indoor and window display. For outdoor or standalone signage, a rigid board such as foam board or Dibond is the better choice.
How should I supply artwork?
A print-ready PDF at 300dpi, CMYK, with 3mm bleed and key content 5mm inside the trim. We'll send you a print preview before printing.
How much do Posters cost?
Posters start from £10.39 excluding VAT. The price updates live on this page as you choose your size, paper stock and quantity, and the price per unit falls at higher quantities.
What sizes do Posters come in?
Posters are available in 4 sizes: A3, A2, A1 and A0. You can also enter a custom size in millimetres and see the price update instantly.
Which paper stocks can I choose for Posters?
You can print Posters on 120gsm Uncoated Poster Paper, 170gsm Gloss, 170gsm Silk, 250gsm Gloss and 250gsm Silk. Every stock is listed with its weight so you can balance feel and budget, and the page reprices as you switch.
Can I get Posters delivered the same day?
Yes, on orders of up to 500 items with print-ready artwork. Order Posters, and approve your artwork, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and a tracked courier delivers them the same day in London. Elsewhere in the UK, standard tracked delivery takes 3-5 working days, with express and next-day options at checkout (next-day: order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri).
How much is delivery for Posters?
Standard tracked delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £25 (£2.95 below that), and takes 3-5 working days from ordering. Northern Ireland, the Highlands & Islands, the Isle of Wight, offshore and international addresses are priced live at checkout, as are orders over 15kg (£14.95 whatever the order value). Express and next-day services are available at checkout (next-day: order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri), and a courier can deliver in London on the day you order when you order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri.
Do you provide free artwork templates for Posters?
Yes. Free artwork templates for every posters size, in PDF and PNG with the bleed, trim and safe area already marked, are in the Artwork Guidelines section on this page.
Do you offer bulk discounts on Posters?
Yes. Posters carry quantity discounts, so the price per unit falls as the run grows. Change the quantity on this page and the discount is applied to the total automatically.
About Posters
A well-printed poster still does the heavy lifting for promotion — big, bold and impossible to miss. From A6 mini posters to A0 display posters, they put your message on walls, windows, counters and boards wherever your audience is looking.
We print posters in sharp, full colour across the A-series sizes on a quality 120gsm large-format stock — the standard weight for display posters, with crisp colour and clean handling. Choose a matt finish for easy reading under lighting, or gloss to make photography and colour pop.
Supply artwork at 300dpi with 3mm bleed and we'll send a free print preview before printing, with UK delivery in 3–5 working days. For rigid, standalone display, see our foam boards.
