Custom Poster Printing:
Make It Big. Make It Pop.

By OnlinePrintout TeamJan 27, 2026

A digital image on a screen is nice, but holding a physical, high-gloss A3 poster is a different feeling. Whether you're an anime fan decorating your dorm, an architect presenting a layout, or a medical student with a case study, quality printing matters.

Safe Delivery Promise: We don't fold posters. We roll them into hard cardboard tubes. No creases, no damage.

1. Paper Selection: Glossy vs Matte

Glossy Finish (170 GSM)

Reflective, shiny, vibrant colors.

  • Best For: Movie posters, Anime art, Photography, College Fest promotions.
  • Why: High contrast makes images look "punchy".

Matte Finish (300 GSM)

Non-reflective, smooth, card-thick.

  • Best For: Scientific posters, Architecture portfolios, Text-heavy diagrams.
  • Why: No glare under bright lights, easier to read small text.

2. Size Matters: A4 vs A3 vs Custom

3. How to check Image Quality (DPI)

A blurry poster is a waste of money. Before uploading, check your image resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order?

No minimums! You can print a single poster for your bedroom wall. However, shipping is cheaper per-unit if you order 5-10 posters together.

Do you stick the poster for us?

No, we provide the print. You can use double-sided tape, blu-tack, or frame it yourself. We ship it in a tube so it's ready for any application.

Can I print Architecture Portfolios?

Yes! We are popular among architecture students for A3 portfolio printing. Choose 300 GSM Matte for that premium, stiff card feel that juries love.
