When should I use A2 Posters?

A2 poster formats make for ideal promotional materials as they are large enough to be noticed at a short distance and yet remain easy to carry and setup. This means just posting them in high-traffic areas will surely lead to an increase in your brand’s exposure, which can further get you more interested prospects.

Additionally, they have enough surface space for you to incorporate a well-thought design and concise but impacting text. Perhaps you want to feature some of your brand’s best-selling products or you want to let your prospects know that you will be holding a special event soon. Furthermore, they are just small enough to have their place in virtually all settings, from sidewalks to hallways and storefronts.

Aside from these features, they also come in different materials such as the highly-recommended standard which is 135 gsm gloss MC, which is perfect for indoors. There is also the 115 gsm Blueback or colour blocking material for billboards and poster walls. Finally, there is 170 gsm PVC, which is the best option outdoors as its waterproof.

Printing resolution for A2 Posters

For your A2 poster to have a great image, it is vital that your resolution should be adjusted to 420 x 594 at 300 dpi. Furthermore, you should make sure to add a 3 mm bleed on each side to avoid the end print from having unnecessary white borders. You can achieve this by using InDesign or Photoshop. When you use Photoshop, however, keep in mind that you have to add the bleed manually as it is not initially accounted for. You can also check our free templates available on the product page of the product you are trying to order.
