How Your Poster Is Made

From your order to your wall: where your poster is printed, the paper and frame it is made of, and how it travels.

Every poster in the store is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for a buyer: the print exists because you asked for it. Here is what happens between your order and your wall.

Printed After You Order

Your order goes to print as soon as it is placed. We typically fulfill orders within 3 working days, and delivery usually takes 4 to 6 days after that. These are estimates rather than promises, since a print partner or a carrier can occasionally run late.

At the Partner Closest to You

We produce on demand with print partners in 22 countries across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Your order is routed to the one nearest your delivery address, so the poster makes the shortest journey it can. It is also why shipping is free worldwide, and why customs charges are never yours to pay.

The Paper

Posters are printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) matte paper: a heavy, white, uncoated sheet about 0.26 mm thick that lies flat and is soft to the touch. The matte finish is non-reflective, so there is no glare under a window or a lamp. The stock is FSC certified or equivalent, from responsibly managed forests.

The Frame

Framed posters come in solid pine, in black, white, natural or dark brown, with the grain of the wood left visible. The profile is slim, 20 to 25 mm deep and 10 to 14 mm wide, so the artwork leads. The front is shatterproof plexiglass rather than glass: it protects the print and survives the journey. Every frame arrives assembled, with the hanging kit included.

The Sizes

There are eighteen sizes: thirteen in inches, from 8×12 up to 30×40, and the A series from A4 to A0. Each one is cut to a standard frame size, so a print you buy unframed fits a frame you can find off the shelf.

Packed for the Journey

Unframed prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed posters travel boxed, with corner protectors.

If Something Arrives Wrong

If a poster arrives damaged, faulty or not what you ordered, write to us within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the poster and its packaging, and we will replace it or refund you straight away. You do not need to send the damaged one back. And if a poster simply is not right for your wall, you can return it within 14 days of delivery for a full refund; return shipping is paid by you.

Prefer to Print It Yourself?

Every design is also sold as a digital download: the same artwork as a high-resolution file, in your inbox the moment you check out, sized for the standard frames people actually own. Print it wherever you like, as often as you like, for your own personal use.
