From being handmade and carefully tailored, posters can now be mass produced and reproduced in a matter of minutes. However, even though posters can be mass produced without difficulty, this does not mean that poster can no longer be personalized.

Custom posters are still as popular and are very much in demand. Individuals, businesses, institutions and the like all need posters that will tailor fit their needs, their goals and objectives.

4. There are poster printing companies who demonstrate great flexibility by offering customers a number of sizes. Digital printing allows you to dictate the size you want, up to the dimensions of 63 x 100.

However, Offset poster printing only has four standard sizes, these are: 11 x 17, 18 x 24, 24 x 36 and 27 x 39. Beyond this is once again, considered as custom-order poster.

5. Additional jobs or details on your posters would also make it a custom-order poster. Some of these special jobs may be die cutting, folding, or perforation.

6. Posters are also considered as custom-job orders when you avail lamination, gator foam board and foam core for mounting among others.
