Video Tutorial: 2 Ways to Flatten a Poster and Avoid Creases
One of the most exciting aspects of ordering posters online is the moment they’re delivered. But when they’ve been rolled up in a tube, laying them flat can become a bit of a challenge. This video shows the best ways to flatten a poster to avoid creases and wrinkles. The first method is to roll the poster back on itself and secure it around the outside of a tube. Leave this for at least an hour and voila – an unrolled poster! The second method is to weigh down the edges of the poster. We’ll always roll from the long side of the poster meaning it’s easier to flatten when it arrives.
How Do I Make a Poster?
The first step in making your own awesome poster is setting up your artwork file. Did you know that you can create your own poster using many popular programs, such as Word or PowerPoint? Or if you dabble in more complex design programs, why not create yours in Photoshop or Publisher?
Check out our in-depth guide to everything you need to know about creating personalised posters on PowerPoint, Word, Photoshop and Publisher.
Once you’ve set your file up correctly, the real fun begins!
Designing a poster isn’t always black and white – there are so many things to think about. Here are some tips on what makes an inspiring and memorable poster design:
• Use bright, eye-catching colours
• Make sure you can read the main message from a distance
• Play around with fonts

- 170gsm value silk – a thin and affordable option that’s best used for temporary posters.
- 250gsm classic silk – a sturdier stock with a high-quality look and feel.
- Waterproof PVC – at 220mic, this thin weatherproof option is ideal for outdoor A-frames.
- Heavyweight waterproof PVC – outdoor signs or long-life posters are the best use for this 400mic PVC option.
We offer special laminate finishes on our classic silk stock. These add extra protection to your advertisement poster and give it a special look or feel. Choose from:

What Posters Do I Need to Re-Open My Business?
Posters are an essential tool for reopening your business. We recommend using posters before, during and after your reopening to make sure you’re giving customers all the information they need to visit your business safely.
‘We’re reopening’ posters - Let passers-by know your new opening date and time by posting one of these in your shop window a week or two before the big day.
New services posters - Make customers aware of any changes to your services you’ve added to make sure you’re running a COVID-secure business, like collection and delivery.
Hygiene posters - Remind customers to sanitise their hands and use ‘how to hand wash’ posters in toilets so that everyone follows best practice.
Social distancing posters - Use posters to let people know they need to stay the required distance apart at all times in your store.
What Are Posters Used for?
When you’re designing your own poster for print, it’s essential that you’ve got an end goal in mind. Whatever your poster goal is, here are a few of the most popular ways our customers use them:
Advertising Products - One key way posters are used are to advertise products, services and businesses in general. These can be in-store offers or star buys, or even bus stop ads and other outdoor large format poster advertisements like billboards.
Promoting Events - If you’ve got a big event coming up, posters are a great way to advertise this. All you need is the single sheet to let passers-by know the date, time and location and you’re good to go! Just make sure you put it somewhere with a lot of potential to grab attention.
Communicating Important Information - From hygiene posters to health and safety information, posters play a vital role in many organisations. For long-lasting posters like these, PVC materials are the best to use since they’re sturdy and easy to wipe clean.
Where Are the Best Places to Put Posters?
One of the first decisions you’ll need to make before choosing what kind of poster you want to print is where you’re going to put it. Will it be indoor or out? In a permanent spot or just temporary? How much room will you need? These are all factors that will impact your decision.
But just where should you put posters for maximum impact? And more importantly, where are you allowed to put posters? Check out our guide to poster placement ideas and find more on the rules around putting up posters.
