Poster printing in Nijmegen

Poster printing in Nijmegen

A poster is the quickest way to announce something: an event, a shop promotion or a vacancy. At Drukkerij Nijmegen on the Betouwstraat you can have posters printed as a single copy or as a full run. Order online, or drop by if you would rather see and feel the material first.

Which poster size should you choose?

The pixel counts assume 300 DPI for A4 and A3 (which you view up close) and 150 DPI for A2 and larger (which you view from a distance). Have a fixed frame, alcove or window? Then print the poster to size, made to fit exactly.

Printing an A1 poster

A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) is the most popular large poster size: big enough for a shop window or event, and still easy to hang. Make sure the text in your design is large enough to read from a few metres away.

Printing an A0 poster

A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) is the largest standard size, for a hall, trade show or long corridor. Work with a high-resolution design or in vector, and it will stay sharp at that size too.

The right material

  • Poster paper— the economical choice for indoors and short campaigns.
  • Blueback paper— for pasting on billboards; the blue back covers the surface underneath.
  • Waterproof poster— for outdoors, against rain and damp.
  • Textile poster— doesn't crease, light to carry and reuse, handy for trade shows.
  • Self-adhesive poster— straight onto a wall, door or window.
  • Lightbox poster— for illuminated lightboxes, with bright colours lit from behind.
  • Garden poster— weatherproof fabric for garden, terrace or fence.

Preparing your design

Let backgrounds run 3 mm past the edge and keep text a little way in from the edge. If you are unsure about your file, send it to us; we will check it before anything is printed. Would you rather look at something else first? See also flyers and getting stickers printed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have a poster printed in a custom size?

Yes. Besides standard sizes such as A2, A1 and A0, you can print a poster to size, for example to fit a frame, alcove or window.

What resolution does my design need?

For posters from A2 upwards, 150 DPI at the final size is usually enough, because a poster is viewed from a distance. When you upload, you can see straight away whether your file is sharp enough.

Which poster can hang outdoors?

Choose a waterproof poster or a garden poster. Ordinary poster paper is for indoors: outside it cockles in the damp and the ink fades in the sun.

How big is an A1 poster?

An A1 poster is 59.4 × 84.1 cm. For a sharp result, your design then needs at least 3508 × 4967 pixels.

Can I have an A0 poster printed?

Yes. An A0 poster is 84.1 × 118.9 cm, the largest standard size. Your design then needs at least 4967 × 7022 pixels, or supply it as a vector.

Can I have a poster printed from my own photo?

Yes. Upload your photo when you order; you will then see straight away whether it is sharp enough for the size you choose.

Is poster printing the same as poster press printing?

With us it is: we print posters digitally, including single copies or a small run. So you don't have to wait for a large run.

Can I collect my posters in Nijmegen?

Yes, at our print shop at Betouwstraat 40 in the centre of Nijmegen, Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00.
