How your custom posters are made

Your work is printed onto the 160 gsm satin paper using eco-friendly inks and a specialist digital printing method. This creates a rich coloured, finely detailed print in high-definition. Everything is handmade to order, when our technicians have finished printing your design our expert craftsmen will cut your custom printed poster to size by hand.

Care instructions

We would advise hanging your poster out of direct sunlight, to ensure that your design stays as vibrant and bright as the days that it was printed. Should you need to, simply wipe your poster down, making sure not to soak it.

Design Tips

If your design is slightly smaller than your chosen poster size, but looks distorted when you stretch it out, you can use our intuitive online design tool to add a repeat effect to your work. This can be done with a standard repeat, a mirrored repeat, or a half drop repeat, to ensure that you get the best possible effect. Once you have selected your preferred option, you can re-position your original design, so that the finished piece looks exactly how you would like it to.

Frequently asked questions:

What are the posters made from?

We use a high quality 160 gsm satin paper for your custom posters. This gives a beautiful high-definition print with a high shine finish, displaying your artwork in all its glory.

Where do you make the posters?

When you design your own poster, we know that you expect it to be printed and dispatched in days. That is why everything we create is produced in our headquarters the almost always same day you order them, and are dispatched fast.

Do the posters have to be the same for the quantity discount?

Your size, orientation and design do not need to be the same to qualify for the quantity discount but it would need to be the same product. Simply design two or more posters and add them to your basket to benefit.

Print Guideline

What's the best resolution to print in?

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important then choose RGB, this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.
What does GSM mean?

Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
What are bleed areas?

When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.

Do you print on garments a customer supplies?

Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?

We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
Can I print my own Labels?

Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding. If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.

Please note: All the products we provide are handmade to order and so there may be slight variations in all the measurements.
