Short Run Posters Fit into a Tight Schedule
If you're building a targeted promotional package, adding short run posters to your materials is a good way to round it out. Even if you are short on time or funds, you can still make large format posters work.
Short run posters that are intended for outdoor promotions are best made from UV-resistant materials. So even if the print posters are exposed to the sun for a long period of time, the print won’t fade and the colors will remain vibrant. This makes large format poster printing a viable option for advertisements – for your products, services, business, or organization – that will run for weeks or months.
Here's how:
When you only need a small number of prints and therefore can't justify the initial costs of offset printing, short run poster printing is definitely the way to go. If you've tried to print them offset, you know that you often need a large volume for the process to be economical, making it wasteful for low volume print runs. A short run, on the other hand, can be printed at a very low cost per piece while ensuring great quality.
Short run posters are great for reaching out to a local audience. They also offer a ton of flexibility when it comes to sizing. Print your posters in smaller sizes such as 11” x 17” or 12” x 18” if you are promoting to a limited number of people like in coffee shops or bookstores. Go big with the largest size available, which is 40” x 60”, if you want to quickly make an impact.
Short run posters are versatile marketing tools and can also be used in the following events or promotions:
- Local elections
- Food drive
- Parades
- School or sporting events
- Store sale
- Church gatherings
- Community meetings

I want to use my own artwork. What are the things that I need to consider before I upload the file on your website?
To ensure the best print results, make sure the image resolution is 300 dpi or higher. Your artwork should also be in CMYK color mode, not RGB. You should have a 1/8? bleed and important content should be within the safety zone, which is 1/8? inside the trim marks. Doing this will ensure that there are no white borders along the paper edges and that the text and elements don’t accidentally get cut. Finally, the file should be in PDF format or any of our other accepted file formats: AI, DOC, EPS, JPG, PNG, PSD, PUB, TIF and XLS.
