What is Large Format Printing?

Large format printing—also known as wide-format printing—is the process of printing graphics that are too large for standard commercial printers. Typically, this includes sizes larger than 18 inches in width, often going up to several meters in both width and length.

It’s commonly used for:

• Banners and Flex Prints

• Posters

• Billboards

• Shop Signage

• Wall Murals

• Trade Show Displays

• Backdrops

• Vehicle Wraps

• Window Graphics

Benefits of Large Format Printing

1. High Visibility

Big prints demand attention. Whether it’s a street banner or an event backdrop, large format prints ensure that your message is seen loud and clear.

2. High Resolution

With advanced printing technologies like eco-solvent and UV printing, large prints can maintain sharpness, vibrant color, and durability, even at large sizes.

3. Customizable Sizes and Materials

From small posters to full-building wraps, you can print at any scale using a variety of substrates including vinyl, canvas, foam board, acrylic, and fabric.
