Map sizes FAQs

Posters FAQs

We can print to a maximum size of 1100mm x 1600mm. Minimum size is 640mm x 1020mm.

Our large format printing and folding capability enables us to print a large format size poster that can then be trimmed to size and left flat; or a large format size poster that can be folded down to a convenient size. 

For example, an AO size of 841mm x1189mm can be folded down to an A4 size of 297mm x 210mm for inclusion in packs with other materials.

Large Format Posters

Our large format posters are perfect for a variety of uses and come in all sizes up to our custom size of 1050mm x 1485mm.

Large Format Maps

Our KBA 162a large format printing press allows us to print in up to six colours on a massive sheet size of 1200mm x 1620mm. This allows for plenty of flexibility when it comes to deciding upon the design and format of your map.
