The practical benefits and timeless appeal of printed posters.

Posters are a budget-friendly solution that you can utilise to expand your marketing reach. They are a great way to reach a broad target audience effectively; all it takes is a single glance from someone to get your marketing message across.

Whether plastered up on city walls or strategically placed in suburban shopping centres to raise awareness, with the right message printed posters can be attention-grabbing and resonate with viewers. Printed posters are a versatile and cost-effective marketing tool for businesses and a creative outlet for individuals.

Despite our current digital age, the appeal and purpose of printed posters remain strong. Printed posters continue to play an important role in our visual landscape, showcasing the enduring power of print in the digital age. With an array of sizes available, Lane Communications delivers high-quality poster printing in Adelaide that can be printed individually, in small batches, or in bulk.

Material matters: Choosing the right stock for your poster printing

Selecting the appropriate material for poster printing will help its longevity and visual impact. Paper posters are the obvious choice for indoor settings and other locations out of the weather. Choosing high-quality paper stock and adding specialty finish can enhance vibrancy and durability. Weather-resistant materials like vinyl or PVC are best for your posters for outdoor use, as they offer better protection against the elements and ensure longevity. If your poster is part of a lightbox display, we recommend a backlit vinyl film that lets the right amount of light pass through without your graphics appearing washed out.

Environmentally conscious poster printing

There has been a growing emphasis on sustainability in printing practices in recent years. Thankfully, advancements in eco-friendly materials have made it easier to reduce the environmental impact of poster printing. Recycled paper and biodegradable inks are becoming increasingly accessible and the gap in quality between them and their non-biodegradable cousins continually gets smaller.

Versatility in signage applications

An advantage of printed posters lies in their versatility for signage applications. Posters are highly effective communication tools for advertising events and promotions, or to provide directions or information. Portability and easy installation allow placement in many locations, such as storefronts, events, and public spaces. This versatility helps increase the chances of your message reaching a wider audience.

Considerations when designing your posters

When creating your poster designs for marketing purposes, consider the following tips:

Craft a Compelling Message

Since people might only spare a quick glance at your poster, it's important to pack a punch with your message. Using a strong message on your poster, such as discounts, standout offers, or features of your product(s) or services, will maximise the impact of your poster marketing. Particularly when placed in high-traffic areas like bus stops.

Provide Concise Information

Make sure you provide enough accurate information. Lots of text risks viewers losing interest and they will miss your message entirely. Keep it succinct, dynamic, and inventive to keep viewers interested. Including a clear call-to-action (CTA) ensures viewers know how to respond to what they have just read.

Get Creative and Eye-Catching

Creativity is key in crafting marketing poster designs that grab viewers' attention. Make sure your logo is large enough to be easily seen so viewers can start to recognise your brand. Your logo, tagline, message, and imagery should all integrate and balance and have a visual hierarchy.

Special Finishes for Best Use

Choosing the right finish for your poster printing is important based on their display location. A glossy finish enhances colours for indoor spaces, while a matte finish reduces glare. Outdoor posters benefit from UV-protected, weather-resistant finishes for durability. Laminated finishes offer extra protection, ideal for high-traffic or long-term displays.
