Large Format Printing & Display Graphics
Large format printing in West Yorkshire for banners, posters, exhibition displays and point-of-sale graphics, produced in-house.
Large format print is for brands that need to be seen at scale - whether on the trade show floor, in a retail environment or outside on a building facade. Because we produce everything in-house at our West Yorkshire facility, you get consistent colour, fast turnaround and a single point of contact from brief to delivery.
Material choice is one of the most important decisions in large format work, and it depends entirely on where the output will be used and for how long. Indoor display applications - exhibition stands, POS panels, point-of-purchase displays - require different materials than outdoor signage that must withstand UV exposure, rain and wind load. Our team will steer you to the right substrate for your application and budget, so you are not paying for outdoor durability you do not need, or using indoor materials in a weathering environment.
File setup for large format is different from standard print. Most artwork is supplied at a reduced scale - typically 1:10 at 300dpi - which is equivalent to 30dpi at actual print size and is correct for large format viewing distances. We check every file before production and flag any resolution or bleed issues so you have the opportunity to supply corrected artwork before your job runs.
