Best Paper Options for Poster Printing

Most posters rely heavily on visuals, so selecting the right paper is key for vibrant, attention-grabbing results. Glossy art paper delivers rich color saturation, sharp details, and strong contrast, making it ideal for full-color, image-heavy posters with minimal text. Matte art paper provides a smooth, non-reflective finish with a refined, elegant look, perfect for posters with more text or black-and-white designs.

For a natural, eco-friendly option, we also offer uncoated paper, which features a soft, organic texture and excellent writability while maintaining professional print quality.

Here’s a detailed recommendation for poster paper types and weights based on size:

  • 8.5″ × 11″ to 18″ × 24″ Posters: Use 157–200gsm glossy or matte art paper. These weights provide good flexibility for smaller posters while ensuring vibrant colors and a professional finish. Glossy enhances color saturation for image-heavy designs, while matte offers a refined, non-reflective look.

  • 24″ × 36″ Posters: Use 157gsm, 200gsm, or 250gsm glossy or matte art paper. Thicker paper adds durability and rigidity for larger posters, helping prevent curling or bending during handling and display.

  • 27″ × 40″ to 36″ × 48″ Posters: Choose from 200gsm, 250gsm, 300gsm, 350gsm glossy art paper or 200gsm, 250gsm, 300gsm matte art paper. Heavier paper suitable for large-format displays.
