ABOUT

Poster printing for Southampton, without the print shop

Southampton is standard UK delivery: included, tracked, usually two to three working days after dispatch. Prints ordered before 3pm on a working day leave the same day; framed prints take one to three working days to make first.

The question we get most from the south coast is about the paper, because people have had posters from the high street that curled or faded. Ours is 240gsm archival stock, heavier than almost any shop poster, with giclée-quality inks that don't fade in normal indoor light. It arrives rolled in a heavy-duty tube and flattens out within a day.

Gloss, satin or matte, all the same price. Frames in Black, White or Oak pine, delivered ready to hang. No minimum, three or more prints to one address 20% off, and prices set for the five thousand or so sellers who use us every day rather than for walk-in customers.

Homes
Photos, digital downloads, children's drawings, gig posters. One print, no minimum, delivered to the door.
Businesses
Office art, event signage, exhibition and market prints. Pay per order, no account manager required.
Sellers
More than 5,000 shops print with us every day, which is why a single poster costs so little.
THE PAPER

Paper you can feel

Every poster is printed on 240gsm archival paper, FSC-certified, with giclée-quality inks. It's the paper our sellers get rave reviews for, and it's the same for a single print as for a thousand. Three finishes, all the same price.

Gloss
Bold, vibrant colours with a reflective shine. The one for photos.
Satin
Smooth, subtle sheen with minimal glare. Lifts colour without the shine.
Matte
Classic flat finish, no reflections. The choice for art prints and anything behind glass.

Printing in Southampton: your questions

What's the paper like?

240gsm archival paper with giclée-quality inks, FSC-certified, in gloss, satin or matte. Noticeably heavier than most high-street poster paper, and it doesn't yellow or fade indoors.

Is the frame glass or plastic?

Plexiglass, 1–2mm, which is clearer than cheap acrylic and doesn't shatter in the post. The frame itself is pine in Black, White or Oak.

Can I print a panorama?

Only in the listed sizes, so a panorama either gets cropped to the nearest shape or you add a white border to the file so the image sits inside a standard size. We don't do custom dimensions.

How is it packed?

Prints go rolled in a heavy-duty cardboard tube, or flat for the small sizes. Framed prints go corner-protected in a box. Anything that arrives damaged is reprinted and resent free.

Poster printing near Southampton

Delivery covers Southampton and the Hampshire coast, including Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, Fareham, Romsey and Lymington, at the same price. Nearby: Brighton. Across the country: the UK.

How prints are packed, and how to flatten one

Prints travel rolled in a heavy-duty cardboard tube, printed side in, with the small sizes sent flat. Frames go in a box with corner protectors. Both are packed to be dropped, and if one does arrive damaged, send a photo of the print and the packaging with the label visible and it's reprinted and resent free.

A rolled print wants to stay rolled for a day or so after it arrives. The quickest fix is to unroll it face down on a clean table, weigh the corners with books, and leave it overnight. For a stubborn curl, roll it gently the other way around the tube for an hour first. Don't iron it and don't dampen it.

If you're framing it yourself, flatten it first; a curled print in a frame will show a shadow at the edges. If you're ordering it framed, none of this applies: it arrives flat behind the plexiglass, ready to hang.
