How to design A0 posters
Whether you’re a dab hand at designing artwork yourself or have an expert design team inhouse to do the work for you, creating your A0 posters is pretty straightforward. However, if you need a little helping hand and some expert advice on how to get started, we’ve compiled some of our top tips for you.
Ensuring you set up your A0 poster correctly is crucial when you begin. The finished A0 poster size is 841mm x 1189mm, so you’ll need to set your A0 poster dimensions to 847mm x 1195mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides.
Don’t forget to set your colour mode as CMYK and use high-resolution images (at least 300dpi) only, as using anything less than this can affect the finished A0 poster printing quality. Using bespoke or specialist branded fonts? You’ll need to ensure you embed or flatten them as we may not hold these in our arsenal here at instantprint.

The type of paper you choose for your A0 poster printing is dependent on what you’ll be using it for and where you’ll be displaying it. For example, if you’re in the throws of planning an outdoor concert or film event, you’re likely to be hanging or fastening your A0 poster outside. Because the British weather is unpredictable, we would recommend opting for our waterproof PVC option so that should the weather take a turn for the worst, your messaging will remain intact and stay strong!
If your shop front needs some more permanent signage, then our A0 heavyweight waterproof (400mic) PVC stock is what you’re looking for. It’s long-lasting, strong and sturdy, and ready for anything, come rain or shine.
Working to a tight budget? Our value silk (170gsm) is affordable, sturdy and still high-quality; it’s perfect if you’re wanting to get your message out there and make your money go further.
If you have a little more money in your marketing budget, our classic silk (250gsm) is thicker than our value stock and firmer to the touch. It’s the ideal, all-purpose A0 printing stock for your posters.
