Smallest Poster - 11 x 17 Inches
Also called Ledger, Tabloid or ANSI B size. This is the smallest standard poster size, they are mostly used for flyers, street lights, bulletin boards, and generally putting up on businesses without taking up too much room and offending. These also work great with a minimalist approach to text. Big letters big message. Size in Millimetres is 279 x 432mm.
Medium - 18 x 24 Inches

Large - 24 x 36 Inches
Also called Architectural D Size - This is the most common standard size for posters. These posters are used for most applications including outside of events, trade shows, and malls. Also widely used for small movie posters delivered to fans and posters for decoration like in University residences and outside a pub or club.With these types of posters you will be grabbing attention with a large message and you can include further details in small writing so after the message is received people can choose whether to come closer and learn more.

Note: If you are designing a poster you cannot go wrong by using the dimensions that we described above,they are used by printing companies worldwide. Don't be afraid to work with different dimensions though: Posters are printed on rollsof paper (not on sheets) and can therefore be cut in any other dimension. If you want create a poster larger than 24 x36 Inchbe sure to contact your printer first, and confirm that he is able to print your desired size.Movie Poster Sizes
There are 2 different dimensions for movie posters that the film industry has standardized. Both are typically in portrait format:
- One Sheet - which is typically 27' x 40' Inches in size (686x1016mm). Commonly used in theatres for advertising movies.
- Bus stop (or subway poster) - are typically 40' x 60' Inches in size. (1016mm x 1524mm).
The 'One-Sheet' size is used in the official advertising for films.
Both are typically printed on paper stock and usually rolled for aesthetic reasons.
Be aware that the mentioned dimensions for film posters are approximate, and do not have to be exactly in the sizes mentioned above.
Note: Film posters sold in retailing are in poster size, which is 24 x 36 inches.
Common landscape (horizontal oriented) format movie Posters also called HALF-SHEET measure 22' x 28', and are generally printed on thicker stock paper.

Paper Choice & Weight for Poster Printing
Choosing the right paper to print your posters is essential. The first thing to note is: Always use Acid free paper for poster printing. You do not want your printed poster to turn yellow after a while, therefore the papers you use for printing should be acid free.
The best stock to use for your poster depends on many factors, that are not defined by hard rules.
These factors include:

- Costs: Are you looking to print your poster on expensive canvas or 100% cotton paper to display it in your living room? Or do you need a batch of 1000 posters printed? There are many different materials available for poster printing and prices/quality can vary greatly.
- Personal Preference: Some people prefer shiny high gloss paper, while others like matte finishes. This really is a matter of personal preference. Also realize that some papers have a specific tone to them, either being cool (blue tone) or warm (red tone). This can impact what the final product looks like greatly
- Location and Longevity: Some posters will be displayed indoors where they are protected from the elements while posters displayed outdoors need to be tougher.
As a rule you want to make sure to use stock that is heavier (thicker) then default printer papers.
Not only does this add durability to your poster, it will age much better then standard paper, and your poster is much easier to flatten.
We recommend to choose paper weight of at least 60lbs (90 g/m2) or above for your poster project.This really is the minimum weight you should choose for (bulk) production.
