Print Options
Standard Poster Sizes:
- A4 (210mm x 297mm) & A3 (297mm x 420mm) — Great for indoor notices and counter displays.
- A2 (420mm x 594mm) — The classic choice for window displays and event advertising.
- A1 (594mm x 841mm) — Highly popular for retail promotions, pavement A-boards, and exhibition stands.
- A0 (841mm x 1189mm) — Maximum standalone impact for high-footfall areas and outdoor hoardings.
- Bespoke / Multipart: Custom dimensions and multi-sheet tiling available for giant surface areas.
Premium Material & Paper Stocks:
- 200gsm Satin/Semicure Graphic Paper: Our most popular indoor option. It features a beautiful smooth finish that handles heavy ink loads perfectly without harsh glare under exhibition lighting.
- 200gsm Photo Gloss: Offers an ultra-reflective, high-contrast finish that makes photography and vibrant art prints look incredibly rich.
- Weatherproof Outdoor PVC/PP Media: Highly durable, tear-resistant, and water-resistant—essential for outdoor A-boards, construction boards, and external promotions.
Protective Lamination Upgrades:
- Matt Lamination: For a sophisticated, smooth, non-reflective finish that shields against scuffs.
- Gloss Lamination: For maximum colour vibrancy and a wipe-clean protective surface.
Artwork
When scaling artwork up to giant dimensions, file resolution is critical to avoid blurry or pixelated prints. Please follow our technical guide:
-
Resolution is Key: For standard large format printing, ensure your file is at least 300dpi at full output size. If you are printing enormous billboard-scale or multipart posters, files can be supplied at 150dpi at 100% size (or 300dpi at half-size).
-
Convert Fonts to Outlines: To prevent font errors or clipping when loaded into our wide-format software, please convert all text to outlines (curves) before exporting.
-
Bleed & Safe Zone: Include a standard 3mm bleed around all outer edges of your PDF, and keep critical text and logos at least 5mm away from the trim line.
-
File Format: Please supply your artwork as a press-ready, high-resolution PDF.

Large Format Posters
When you need to capture attention, dominate a room, or attract footfall from afar, nothing carries the visual impact of a premium large format poster. Ideal for high-impact promotional use, busy exhibitions, retail advertising, or striking event signage, our large-format posters are engineered to bring your biggest ideas to life with flawless clarity.
At Barkers Litho, we move away from the thin, flimsy paper used by mass-production discount printers. We print your designs using state-of-the-art, wide-format high-definition technology and premium-weight stocks. This guarantees razor-sharp text, intense colour depth, and rich contrasts that make your graphics look spectacular, whether viewed from across a convention hall or right up close on a high street.
We offer complete scaling flexibility. Large format posters can be printed in standard sizes from A4 to A0 and beyond, including complex multipart posters that, when pasted together, can display a single, seamless image over a very large surface area like billboards or exhibition backdrops.
