A2 Waterproof Poster Printing

A2 Waterproof Poster Printing

A2 waterproof posters are printed on synthetic poster material, making them suitable for pavement signs, outdoor poster frames, sheltered exterior displays, event signage, menu boards, retail promotions and customer-facing notices.

At 420 × 594mm, A2 is a useful mid-size poster format. It gives more visibility than A3 while remaining easy to fit into poster frames, pavement signs, noticeboards and temporary promotional displays.

Synthetic poster material is a better choice than standard paper posters when the display may be exposed to moisture, handling or changing outdoor conditions. It is ideal for businesses that need practical posters for exterior frames, A-boards, pavement signs, shopfront promotions, hospitality menus, venue information and event advertising.

Why choose synthetic poster material?

Synthetic poster material is designed for more demanding display environments than standard paper poster stock. It is useful where the poster may be handled regularly, placed in an outdoor frame, used in a pavement sign or exposed to moisture.

Choose synthetic waterproof posters when you need a flexible printed poster, not a rigid board, but still need better durability than a standard indoor silk or matt poster.

Indoor or outdoor use

A2 waterproof posters can be used indoors or in suitable outdoor display systems such as pavement signs, A-boards and outdoor poster frames.

For best results outdoors, use them inside a suitable frame or display holder. They are not intended to replace rigid signs such as Correx, Foamex or aluminium composite where the sign needs structural strength or permanent outdoor fixing.

A2 waterproof poster or A2 silk poster?

Choose an A2 waterproof poster if the poster will be used in a pavement sign, outdoor frame, sheltered exterior location or anywhere moisture resistance is needed.

Choose an A2 silk poster if you need a smooth indoor promotional poster with strong colour impact for retail displays, events, exhibitions or noticeboards.

Choose an A2 matt poster if you want a lower-glare indoor poster for text-heavy notices, artwork, photography or brightly lit display areas.

Choose an A2 backlit poster if the poster will be used inside a lightbox or illuminated poster display.

Choose an A2 Foamex board if you need a rigid sign rather than a flexible poster.

Artwork for A2 waterproof posters

For best results, supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF at A2 size: 420 × 594mm. The page states that PDF, AI, EPS, JPG and PNG files are accepted and that files are checked before production.

Artwork should be high resolution and set up in CMYK colour where possible. Keep important text, prices, QR codes, logos and contact details away from the trim edge. Our team will check your artwork before production and contact you if anything needs adjusting.

A2 waterproof poster, PVC poster or encapsulated poster?

Choose an A2 waterproof synthetic poster if you need a moisture-resistant poster for pavement signs, outdoor frames, A-boards, menus or sheltered exterior display.

Choose a PVC poster if you need a tougher waterproof poster material for more robust outdoor promotional use.

Choose an encapsulated poster if you want a printed poster protected with gloss laminate for wipe-clean handling, notices or repeated use.

Choose a blueback poster if the poster is intended for billboard-style display or where blue-backed outdoor poster material is required.

Choose a Correx sign if you need a rigid temporary outdoor sign rather than a flexible poster.
