large-format printing

Large format printing (also referred to as wide format printing or poster printing) describes oversized printed materials designed to be seen clearly from a distance.

Unlike standard digital print, which is typically used for smaller items such as flyers or brochures, large format digital printing focuses on scale, visibility, and durability. It is used where printed materials need to stand out in busy environments or cover larger visual areas.

Large format printing covers a wide range of commercial applications. Rather than offering a rigid product catalogue, at Firstpointprint, we focus on matching formats to real-world use cases.

Large format prints are often produced alongside supporting materials such as flyers, brochures, or handouts. In these cases, our digital print services can be used to ensure consistency across the full set of printed assets. For higher-volume brochures or catalogues used alongside large format displays, litho printing can be used where appropriate.

Material choice plays a critical role in large format printing. At larger scales, quality issues become more visible, making the right substrate and finish essential.

Commonly used materials include:

• Photo satin material for standard posters
• PVC and vinyl for banners and flexible displays
• Fabric for exhibition walls and backdrops
• Mounted substrates for rigid displays

Rather than presenting technical specification lists, Firstpointprint focuses on advising on suitability. Recommendations are made based on where the print will be used, how long it needs to last, and how it will be viewed.

Large format printing projects follow a guided, consultative process from initial enquiry through to delivery.

The typical stages include:

• Understanding the intended use and display environment
• Advising on format, materials, and finishes
• Production of the selected large format prints
• Collection or delivery, including same-day courier or overnight nationwide delivery

Artwork can be checked on request, with support available through our in-house graphic design service where adjustments or preparation are required.

Turnaround times for large format printing depend on several factors, including product type, size, finishing, and quantity.

• Standard posters can be produced from one working day
• Other large format items vary depending on specification

Our large format printing service is designed to support event-led deadlines, making it suitable for:

• One-off prints
• Short runs
• Repeat commercial orders

No fixed turnaround promises are made unless confirmed as part of the project.
