Why Do Posters Still Work?
A good poster can be seen from across a room, a lobby, or a street. It works all day, every day, with no monthly fee. Put one in your window and you can tell everyone walking by about a sale, a new menu, or an event. Put one inside and you can guide people to a new product or a special right when they are ready to buy.
Size and paper make the difference. A small, flimsy poster gets ignored, but a big, sharp, bright one stops people. A backlit poster glows, even at night. A blockout poster looks perfect from both sides of the glass. Once people see your poster, many will look you up on their phone, so make sure they can find you. Here is why a business might not show up on Google.
Types of Posters We Print
Here is what we make, split into everyday posters and large format posters. Each one has a short “best for” note to help you choose.
Everyday Posters
Gloss Posters
Bright, shiny posters in 8 sizes from 11 x 17 up to 26 x 39. Print one side or both. Colors and photos really pop.
Best for: Events, art, and store promotions.
Matte Posters
A smooth, flat finish with no glare, so your poster is easy to read under bright lights or behind glass. Sizes up to 26 x 39.
Best for: Framed posters, menus, and offices.
Heavy Card Stock Posters
Thick, stiff gloss card stock in 18 x 24 and 24 x 36. It stands up better on an easel and holds up to handling.
Best for: Easels, lobbies, and open houses.
Rally Signs
Light, sturdy signs in 11 x 17, 12 x 18, and 17 x 22, printed on one or both sides. Easy to hold up in a crowd.

Large Format Posters
Photo Posters
High gloss photo paper in any size from 12 inches up to 120 inches. Sharp enough for photos you want people to walk up to.
Best for: Store displays, photos, and big events.
Backlit Posters
A special film made to glow in a light box. Colors stay rich and even when the light shines through. Custom sizes up to 120 inches.
Best for: Menu boards, malls, and lit displays.
Blockout Posters
A thick two-sided poster that blocks light, so nothing shows through from the back. Add grommets to hang it.
Best for: Windows and hanging displays.

Poster Tips That Get Noticed
Think About the Distance
Will people see it from 3 feet or 30 feet? The farther away, the bigger and fewer the words should be.
Use One Big Picture
One strong photo or image grabs attention better than lots of small ones. Let it fill the poster.
Start with a Big File
Big posters need big, sharp photos. A photo from a website will look blurry when printed large. Send the original file.
Measure Your Frame or Light Box
For frames and light boxes, measure the inside opening. We print to that exact size so it fits.
Your poster should send people somewhere that turns them into customers. If your website or Google listing needs help, our digital marketing team can fix that. Need something tougher for outside? See our rigid signs and vinyl banners.

Poster Printing Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most.
How much does poster printing cost?
It depends on the size, the paper, and how many you order. Big posters cost more, but the price per poster drops as you order more. Text or call Markit Media at 480.245.4287 and a real person will send you an exact price.
What sizes of posters do you print?
Our everyday posters come in sizes like 11 x 17, 18 x 24, and 24 x 36, up to 26 x 39. Our large format posters can be any size from 12 inches up to 120 inches.
What is the most common poster size?
18 x 24 and 24 x 36 inches are the most popular. They are big enough to see from across a room and fit most ready-made frames.
Should I pick gloss or matte?
Gloss makes colors and photos pop, but can shine under bright lights. Matte has no glare, so it is easier to read behind glass or in a bright room. We can help you choose.
What is a backlit poster?
It is printed on a special film made for light boxes. When the light shines through from behind, the poster glows with rich, even color. It is great for menu boards and lit displays.
What is a blockout poster?
It is a thick poster with a layer that blocks light, so nothing shows through from the back. You can print both sides, which makes it perfect for windows and hanging displays.
Can you make a poster from my photo?
Yes. Send us the original photo file. We check that it is sharp enough for the size you want. Photos from social media are often too small to print big.
Can posters go outside?
Our paper posters are made for inside or behind glass. For outside, a vinyl banner or a rigid sign holds up much better to the Arizona sun and storms.
How long does poster printing take?
Many large format posters can be ready the next business day after you approve your proof. Everyday paper posters usually take a few business days. Text us if you have a rush.
Do you help with design?
Yes. We can design your poster from scratch, with a strong headline and a layout that is easy to read from far away. A real person works with you until it looks right.
Do you only work with businesses in Scottsdale?
No. We print posters for businesses, schools, and events all over the Phoenix Valley, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Glendale. Text us from anywhere in the Valley.
