What Are Paper Posters?

Paper posters are lightweight, high-quality prints designed for vibrant indoor displays. Printed on premium photo paper, they deliver a sharp finish that enhances any artwork, promotional content, or décor.

Thanks to digital, high-resolution full-color printing with UV ink, every paper poster showcases crisp detail and rich, lasting color. They are single-sided and best suited for indoor use, with a recommended lifespan of 3+ years when properly cared for.

Paper board poster installation is quick and hassle-free using command strips, making them a great choice for rented spaces, dorms, offices, and stores. Available in a wide size range you can go from small prints to large-scale visuals easily.

Note: Paper posters are not recommended for outdoor use due to their material sensitivity to weather and moisture.

Paper Poster Design Tips

Here are some essential paper poster design tips to help your posters stand out: 


  • Keep it simple: Focus on one main message or idea. Avoid clutter and make sure the design is easy to understand at a glance.
  • Use bold, legible fonts: Choose fonts that are easy to read from a distance, and limit the number of fonts to maintain a clean look.
  • Contrast is key: Make sure there is a strong contrast between the text and the background to ensure readability.
  • Use high-quality images: Ensure all images and graphics are high resolution so they look sharp and professional when printed.
  • Consider your audience: Tailor the design to appeal to your target audience, whether it's playful, corporate, or artistic.
  • Balance text and visuals: Ensure there's a balance between text and images. Don't let one overpower the other; let both complement each other.
  • Leave space for important details: If the paper poster is for an event, make sure the time, date, and location are easily visible.
  • Brand consistency: Use colors, logos, and fonts that align with your brand identity for recognition.

Proper installation and ongoing maintenance are crucial to ensuring the longevity of your paper posters. Understanding the best practices for both installation and maintenance can make a significant difference in the poster’s appearance and performance. Below, we break down the key steps for each process to help you get the most out of your paper posters.

How to Install a Paper Poster?

  • Step 1: Clean the surface where the poster will be placed.
  • Step 2: Peel off one side of the command strip and stick it to the back of the poster.
  • Step 3: Remove the second protective strip and expose the adhesive side.
  • Step 4: Position the poster on the wall and press it firmly into place.
  • Step 5: If needed, gently detach the poster from the strip and adjust its position.
  • Step 6: Wait at least an hour for the adhesive to set.
  • Step 7: Press the poster firmly to reattach it to the wall.

How to Care for Paper Poster Printing?

  • Handle with Clean Hands – Oils and dirt can smudge ink or stain the paper.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight – Prolonged UV exposure fades colors; display in shaded areas when possible.
  • Store Flat or Rolled (Never Folded) – Prevent creases by keeping posters in protective tubes or flat portfolios.
  • Use Acid-Free Storage – Prevent yellowing by storing in archival-quality sleeves or folders.
  • Keep Away from Moisture – Humidity warps paper; store in a cool, dry place.
  • Dust Gently – Use a soft microfiber cloth or brush to clean surfaces (no harsh cleaners).
  • Frame with UV-Protective Glass – Enhances longevity if displaying long-term.
  • Transport in Sturdy Packaging – Use rigid envelopes or cardboard to prevent bending.

FAQs about Paper Board Posters

What paper is commonly used for posters?

Photo matte paper is commonly used for poster printing. This type of paper has a smooth, non-glossy finish, which reduces glare and provides a subtle look. Photo matte paper is ideal for high-quality prints, especially for photography, artwork, or designs where color accuracy and texture matter. 

Can I print custom-sized paper posters or banners?

Yes, custom-sized posters and banners can be printed. Many print shops and online printing services offer the option to print posters in any size, whether it’s small, medium, large, or even oversized.

Are paper posters and banners suitable for outdoor use?

Paper posters and banners are not recommended for outdoor use. They are primarily designed for indoor environments, where they can maintain their quality for an extended period. With proper care, paper posters typically have a lifespan of 3+ years indoors, but exposure to outdoor elements like moisture, wind, and direct sunlight can quickly damage them.
