Posters & Signs
Make your message impossible to miss
From eye-catching posters to weatherproof outdoor signs, we create displays that get noticed and get results. We'll help you choose the right materials and finish for your message, location, and budget.
Indoor displays & posters
Printed posters
Classic, versatile, cost-effective
Whether you're advertising a one-off event, promoting a seasonal offer, or creating permanent displays for your premises, our poster printing gives you vibrant colours, sharp text, and professional results that get your message noticed.
We print on a range of paper stocks to suit different environments - from standard poster paper for indoor use to water-resistant options for areas with high humidity, and fully waterproof materials for covered outdoor spaces like bus shelters or covered walkways.
Sizes range from A3 to A0 and beyond, plus custom dimensions to suit your needs exactly.
Lightweight display boards
Sometimes you need something more substantial than paper but still lightweight and easy to work with. Our display boards give you that professional, finished look without the weight or cost of heavy materials.
Foamcore boards are perfect when you want a clean, mounted appearance that's still easy to handle and position. The smooth white surface takes print beautifully, and the lightweight foam core makes them ideal for temporary installations, presentations, or anywhere you need a polished look without permanent mounting.
Professional finish, easy to handle
Outdoor flexible banners
PVC Banners
Versatile outdoor advertising that gets noticed
When you need cost-effective outdoor advertising that delivers real impact, PVC banners are hard to beat. Printed on durable 440gsm weatherproof material using fade-resistant inks, these banners stay vibrant and professional-looking for years.
They're completely waterproof, tear-resistant, and designed to handle the unpredictable British weather without losing their impact. Standard finishing includes reinforced hems and eyelets, making them ready to display straight from delivery.
Available in any size from small promotional banners to large-format displays, PVC banners give you maximum visibility for your investment. Roll them up after use and they're ready for your next campaign.
Mesh Banners
For outdoor locations where standard banners might struggle, mesh banners offer the perfect solution. Made from specially perforated PVC material with thousands of tiny holes, they allow wind to pass through while maintaining excellent print quality and visual impact.
The mesh design means you get all the durability and weather resistance of standard PVC, but with dramatically improved performance in windy conditions.
Mesh banners are ideal for building wraps, fence advertising, scaffolding displays, and any exposed outdoor location. The perforated structure doesn't compromise your graphics – colours remain bold and text stays crisp, just with added resilience against the elements.
Wind-resistant banners for exposed locations
Outdoor sign boards that last
Correx® signs
Lightweight, weatherproof, recyclable
Correx® is the go-to choice when you need outdoor signage that performs well without a premium price tag. Made from weatherproof corrugated plastic, these signs handle rain, wind, and UV exposure while staying lightweight enough for easy installation. When your campaign is finished, they're fully recyclable - making them a smart choice for environmentally conscious businesses.
The corrugated structure gives them surprising strength for their weight, and they're easy to drill or cut if you need custom mounting options. Perfect for temporary campaigns, seasonal promotions, or anywhere you need professional-looking signage on a sensible budget.
This material is great for estate agent boards, site signage, event directions, temporary promotions, and construction notices.
Foamex (Rigid PVC)
Smooth finish, made to last
When you need signage that looks sharp and stands up to outdoor use, Foamex delivers. This rigid PVC board has a smooth surface that takes print beautifully, creating crisp text and vibrant colours that stay looking strong. Available in different thicknesses depending on your application: 3mm for lighter-duty uses, 5mm for general outdoor signage, and 10mm when you need maximum rigidity and impact resistance.
Foamex can be cut to virtually any shape, and it can be laminated for extra UV protection and an even more premium feel. Easy to mount with screws or adhesive, and robust enough to handle years of outdoor exposure.
Dibond® (Aluminium Composite)
Premium choice for permanent installations
The professional's choice for high-end outdoor signage. Dibond combines a lightweight plastic core with aluminium faces, creating boards that are incredibly strong yet surprisingly light. The aluminium surface resists weathering, fading, and impact damage, while the composite construction prevents the warping that can affect solid metal signs.
Ideal for shopfronts, corporate signage, and anywhere you want a premium look that will last for years. The material drills cleanly for neat mounting, and the flat surface provides excellent print quality for detailed graphics and fine text.
Dibond is ideal for business signs, permanent displays, industrial applications, and shopfront signage.

When standard signage isn't enough, these speciality displays deliver maximum impact. Whether you need portable street-level advertising, mobile branding that travels with your business, or illuminated displays that glow with professional appeal, these solutions help your message stand out from the crowd.
A-Boards

Perfect for attracting customers directly outside your business, A-boards offer instant visibility on busy streets and forecourts. These collapsible advertising boards feature easy-change poster inserts, making them ideal for daily specials, promotions, and events.

Signage questions? We've got answers
Poster and sign printing involves bigger formats, different materials, and outdoor considerations. Here are the answers to help you get exactly what you need, first time.
-
Yes, our design team can create artwork from scratch or work with your rough ideas. Signage design is different from smaller formats - we consider viewing distances, readability, and how your message will work in the actual space. Whether you need a simple text-based sign or a complex display with graphics, we'll make sure it looks great and works effectively.
-
While we have popular standard sizes (A3, A2, A1, A0), we regularly print custom dimensions for specific spaces or applications. Just tell us your requirements and we'll make it happen.
-
For indoor displays, poster paper and lightweight foamcore work perfectly. For outdoor use, we recommend Correx for temporary signage (up to 6 months), Foamex for medium-term (1-2 years), and Dibond for permanent installations. We'll advise further based on your specific needs.
-
Most poster and sign jobs are ready in 2-3 working days. Simple posters can often be done same-day if you get your artwork to us early. Larger or more complex signage might take an extra day or two. We'll always give you a clear timeline when you order.
-
PDFs usually work best for large format printing but we also accept JPEGs and PNGs. Not sure if your file will work? Send it over and we'll give you honest feedback about print quality and any adjustments needed.
-
As a rough guide, your image should be at least 150 DPI at the final print size. A 6-megapixel photo can typically go up to A1 size without issues. Send us your file and we'll check the resolution and let you know what sizes will work well.
-
Correx is lightweight corrugated plastic, great for temporary outdoor use and budget-friendly. Foamex is rigid PVC that's smooth and durable, perfect for professional indoor/outdoor signs. Dibond is an aluminium composite, the premium choice for permanent outdoor installations that need to look sharp for years.
-
We focus on the printing and production side rather than installation. Many of our customers find that simple wall mounting can be handled by their own maintenance teams or local tradespeople.
-
Yes, for straightforward posters and some sign materials. If you need something urgently, call us with your requirements and we'll tell you what's possible. We can't always guarantee same-day, but we'll do our best to help.
