What affects the cost of poster printing

  • Size: larger posters use more paper and ink, so A0 costs more than A1 or A2.
  • Delivery speed: standard delivery is free with us; faster options add a fixed fee.
  • Extras at other printers: when comparing prices, check whether tubes, delivery and file checks are included or added at checkout. With us they are included in the price above.
  • Reprints: the most expensive poster is the one you print twice. Most reprints come from typos, blurry images or the wrong size.

How to keep the cost down

  1. Order a few days early so you can use free standard delivery instead of next-day.
  2. Check the conference rules before printing. If A1 is allowed, it costs £5 less than A0. Our UK conference poster sizes guide lists common requirements.
  3. Print an A4 proof at home first and read every word. It is the cheapest way to catch mistakes.
  4. Send a PDF at the exact size with high-resolution images, so it prints right the first time. Our academic poster checklist covers everything to check.
  5. Use our free A0 research poster template, already set up at the correct size and font sizes.
