4 feet posters

Common Poster Sizes

Other size posters are 18×24 and 16×20. Again, these are determined by paper sizes that are available to the printing companies. Most all of the above sizes are still printed on offset presses although with the popularity rise of the large format inkjet you can now get very small quantities done by doing inkjet. As a very general rule if you are doing 50 posters or less you should look at inkjet. If you are looking at higher quantities than that offset printing will quickly become less expensive.

The rise in digital printing has also made one other size become more and more popular. 11×17 can be printed on a digital press in small quantities to help promote localized markets in small 50-100 quantity increments. This size has become very popular in promoting events and bands and the size of the sheet is much easier to handle versus a large poster.

So if you are thinking about printing posters to promote your next event, put your artwork on or make a introduce a political candidate please contact The Odee Company. We have been in Dallas, Tx since 1923 and offer great service and the best prices in town.

We have a wide range of products available for you to choose from, so, if you can not find the one you were thinking of, feel free to contact us with all of your questions. You can also access our database search page 24/7/365 to help you come up with other ideas based upon the variables you enter into the system at our PromoPlace store.

poster printing in Dallas

Poster Printing

Make a huge yet affordable impression with our color poster printing service! You can place posters in a window, reach students attention with college posters on boards or company posters for your corporate promotional needs.

Posters come in varying sizes. Some of the more common sizes in Poster Printing are: 11×17, 18×24, 21×33, 24×36. These sizes are used due to the size sheets readily available in the printing process.

Short run posters (less than 250-500) are usually done in 11×17 size for cost considerations. This is because this is a common size for digital presses that can efficiently produce short runs. Posters are normally printed on book weight paper which is thinner than cover paper but both are used. It depends on the use as to what paper will be recommended by your printer.

Any sort of public event, from a rally to a play, may be advertised with posters. Even holidays can be promoted with travel posters. Superior, colorful inks and durable media options provide posters with bright colors, excellent image quality, amd long term exposure capabilities.

Poster printing is a cost effective way to convey your message or grab attention for events. Try using artwork that will grab someone’s attention.

Bright colors or interesting illustrations or artwork are the best. Remember you have a brief second as someone is walking by to make them stop and read your message. If you are thinking about printing posters please contact The Odee Company. We have the presses to handle any of these sizes or quantity levels.

Business slow during Summer?

Business slow during Summer? Not anymore. There are were many things you could count on come summer time in printing and promotions. 1) High energy bills due to the 45,000 sq ft of manufacturing and fulfillment space in the high heat of Dallas, TX…and 2) a lot of time to recharge the batteries thanks to marketers taking the summer off to do the same. This summer something is different. While many of our clients are vacationing, the business keeps coming in. That’s a good thing right? Well, it does take away the opportunity to get out and fish in the Texas Hill Country.

It also takes away the opportunity for my favorite past time; GolFish!

4 Print Design Blogs You Must Read!!!

Since this blog is about commercial printing and all that entails I thought you might like to see some blogs that are excellent.

The first one is a designer from the UK that obviously does some great work called Designshard. He gives you design tips, inspiration and shows special effects in some of the major graphics programs such as: Photoshop

Another UK called the Design Shack. Love there newest article on 10 places to find free vector art.

The next one comes from down under in Australia called printdesignblog. This sight is hosted by Twilight Emerald Print Design. Gives you some insight into getting your print design printed, tips on major software programs for both vector and photoshop type files and speaks in general about commercial printing.

The third one is graphicdesignblog and touts itself as “an ultimate resource for graphic designers”.This one is more about interesting marketing and branding stories among other things and has articles discussing rebranding and the history of famous logos.

Then from one that has videos, articles, great pics,and very insightful info and tips try Travis Stein’s Blog.

Last but not least is The Odee Company blog from good old Dallas, Tx USA. Our blog talks mainly about the processes of printing and how we use them in our company. These articles give you tips to decide the best way to print your project and how to decide on one printing company over another.

If you searched for the term print design blog this gives you a very good cross reference of sites that may fit what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
