While posters can easily draw attention, if your goal is to wow an audience or transform the look and feel of a space, posters might not be the most effective option.
Posters are the number one go-to choice for those looking to print an image or design. They are a great way to promote a brand, sell a product or show off your artistic flair — but they’re not the only way to print an image or a design.
While posters can easily draw attention, if your goal is to wow an audience or transform the look and feel of a space, posters might not be the most effective option.
The right digital printing option can make or break your vision — if you’re looking to boost your brand, sell a product or display a knock-out piece of artwork, is a poster really going to cut it?
The first step in deciding on a printing option that will work for you is asking the question:
Why am I making this print, and what is the desired effect?
Different printing processes will offer different outcomes and knowing the look you’re going for will go a long way to achieving a great result.
(Speaking to a printing expert before you make any big decisions could be a great way to maximise your image — especially if you’re not 100% sure what your print goals are.)
Thinking outside the box when it comes to printing not only allows you to create something truly unique and suited to you, but it also creates a point of difference and helps you stand out from the crowd.
To get an idea for what printing options can make you memorable, we’ve put together a list of options to help broaden your printing horizons:
Pull-up banners scream sleek and simple promotion. Where posters are easy to miss, pull-up banners command more of a presence — so you can be sure an audience will be picking up what you’re putting down.
Banners make great business signage and are a great option for ongoing promotional or marketing uses at events, expos or lobby displays, and can be put together and put away in a matter of seconds.

Canvas prints are the big brother of posters. They can be used to reproduce an original artwork or present any design or image at a high quality — perfect for any home or office. They’re also sturdier than a poster, giving them a longer shelf life and making them easier to store and reuse.

Did you know that wallpaper can be easily personalised for nearly any space? Any high-resolution image can be printed on wallpaper, so you can affix your design directly to a wall space. Wallpaper is a great way to breathe life into a space and promote an idea, brand or feeling. It can be used to jazz up a lobby or even block out windows in a more visually pleasing way.
