Often used for promoting events, advertising, marketing and sales, posters are a popular choice for businesses looking to spread their message. When designing your poster, you should consider an eye catching headline and image and ensure all text is legible and clear. If you require assistance, please contact our in house creative design team.
Our posters are printed onto either budget, standard or premium recycled paper with spot UV and lamination finishing available.
Standard poster sizes are A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0, however if you have custom dimensions then get in touch for a quote.
Lead-time for poster printing depends on the number of versions, total quantity, and if you would like a special finish on them. Please try to allow 2-5 days in most cases, but anything outside of this please highlight from the outset and we will do our best to meet your deadlines.
We stock a range of papers for you to choose from, 130gsm paper up to 450gsm card, single or double sided.
Standard poster sizes are A0, A1, A2, A3 and A4, we can print custom sizes too.
Rounded corners are a great way to give a subtle elegant and professional finish to your posters. They are less likely to bend than sharp corners, keeping them looking fresh for longer.
Adding lamination to your poster will enhance its durability and protection as well as giving a professional finish. Lamination is available in matt or gloss.
Soft touch lamination will give your poster an extra luxurious feel. The touch feels silky, velvety and smooth and provides a lasting impression.
All of our materials are from sustainable sources, eco friendly and recycled materials are encouraged where possible.
Spot UV posters have a thin layer of UV gloss applied on top of the material in selected areas. It adds a contrasting shiny, smooth surface to subtly highlight certain parts of the design.
Foil blocking offers a unique and memorable finish. During the process, foil is heat pressed onto mapped out parts of the print to give a metallic finish and highlight chosen parts of the print.
*Same day and express service is available on certain products at an added cost. Please mention this from the outset if required and speak to a member of staff.
We offer a print management service where we can print large volumes, deliver a part supply to you, hold stock on site, and the balance to be delivered on call-off. Get in touch for further information.

Print that doesn’t cost the earth…
At Wheatley Printers, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we deliver. Here are just a few of the ways we minimise our impact on the world around us:
Technically 30 days, but unless we incur increases on materials it will be longer.
All of our materials are from sustainable sources, eco friendly and recycled materials are encouraged where possible.
Each job is bespoke, we enjoy working closely with you to give you the outcome you are looking for.
No minimum or maximum, we would explain the most cost effective option for you though, for you to decide.
If you order in bulk, you will benefit from a better unit rate.
Some jobs are cheaper when they repeat for certain reasons.
Payment can be made via: Bacs Payment, Card Payment *No American Express* or Cash
This will vary for many reasons, it will be discussed prior to the order taking place.
Every job will be looked at individually and an agreement made from both parties, to ensure the best outcome.
You don’t have to provide finished artwork for us to handle your print work. Our modern, well-equipped design studio – and experienced creative designers – can produce professional artwork for you.
Just get in touch to talk us through what you need.
