Whether you're a novice or a professional when it comes to artwork, we're here to give you the guidance needed to make sure your end result is print perfect.
If you have the elements, such as text, logos, and text, we can take these and create a print ready design layout for you at a small additional cost. We have a number of affordable set price packages available to suit any requirements. Many of our products have a design service as an additional extra for instant ordering. For products that don't please contact us to discuss your brief. Visit our in-house design service page to find out more.
Many of our print products have the option to upload your artwork on the product page. If that option is not available, you will receive an email shortly after placing your order with instructions on how to send your artwork files.
In order to avoid any delays in production, please follow our guidelines below to make sure your artwork is ready to go. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch to talk to one of our team.
Resolution - 100dpi At Full Size
Generally, 100 dpi is a good standard for images with the document size set at full size of the large format printed product. For example, if you want to order a 40"×60" print, the image size should be 4000 pixels (40 x 100) by 6000 pixels (60 x 100) at 100 dpi.
100% scale at 100 dpiIf any dimension of the product is greater than 5000mm, please produce the artwork to scale. For very large artwork such as hoarding walls, 10% scale can be utilised at 1000dpi for images, or use vectors as these will scale perfectly.
Bleed - 5mm All Around At The Final Print Size
If you are creating set size artwork for hardware then please use the product template. If you have ordered a custom size product please ensure you include 5mm of bleed on your design.
You only need to add print bleed to your artwork if the design extends to the edge of the page. If all of your text and images are in the centre of the design and are surrounded by a plain white background, you won’t need to worry about print bleed as the edges will blend seamlessly into your overall design. If any element of the design goes right up to the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed on all sides is necessary.
Colours - Please Supply All Colours As CMYK+
Computer screens use RGB, while printers use CMYK. You may ask why this matters? Most colours created in RGB can be closely matched in CMYK but some cannot. If colours are critical we always suggest ordering a printed proof.
Other things you can do to check your colours:
- Use a calibrated monitor (colours vary from monitor to monitor)Fonts - Please Embed, Flatten, Or Convert To Curves
For large format print, we recommend that the minimum font site is 8pt (point size).
Our preferred file format for print-ready artwork is a PDF, please make sure you embed any fonts for perfect results. With other file formats please ensure fonts used in your design are converted to outlines and include all fonts and images used when you send your files to us.
Do You Need A Proof?
If you are providing print ready artwork, we do not provide a proof as standard, which enables us to get your print to you quicker. If you require a proof please get in touch with us to discuss. We do provide a free technical file check as standard, as outlined below.
We can provide a machine print proof for the extra cost of £25 plus delivery. This involves printing an A3 proof on the machine that will be used to produce your final print. This will give you an accurate representation of colour. If you are using our design service, we do send out a PDF proof, which is an accurate representation of content and positioning. It is not an exact indicator of the final colour due to the limitations of screens.
Quoted delivery dates for print are from approval of artwork, so please bear in mind that requesting a proof may delay the delivery date of your product.
Delivery
After you have placed your order a provisional despatch and delivery date will be sent to you via email.
Our standard delivery time for printed products is 2-5 working days after artwork has been approved for print. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to ensure we can meet this. Please check that your artwork meets the guidelines above to prevent any delays in approval.
Free Artwork Check
Before we go to print, we will carry out a free technical check on your artwork. If there are any issues, we will contact you to let you know what needs to be changed.
Colour Matching
Our printers and media are of the highest standard and are carefully calibrated to produce vibrant, full colour prints. The process involves CMYK printing and this means it is not always possible to match Pantone colours, but they will be converted to the nearest CMYK equivalent.
If exact colour matching is critical, please send us a physical copy of other printed material, such as a letterhead or brochure, and we will check your file prior to printing. If we cannot achieve a reasonable match we will call you to discuss.
Please send any physical examples to: Discount Displays, 31-35 Wortley Road, Croydon, Surrey, CRO 3EB.

What are your weatherproof outdoor posters made of?
Our weatherproof outdoor posters are printed on durable PVC material, making them resistant to sun, rain, and fading. Unlike paper posters, they won’t crease or lose their vibrancy. With special UV-resistant and waterproof inks, these posters stay sharp and colourful, even in tough outdoor conditions.
Where can I use these outdoor posters?
These waterproof posters are ideal for a variety of outdoor uses, such as pavement signs and informational displays. They’re perfect for showcasing menus, special offers, or promotions outside shops and cafés, as well as for event marketing and other outdoor advertising needs.
What material are your waterproof outdoor posters made from?
Our posters are crafted from high-quality 450gsm PVC sheets, which are waterproof, tear-resistant, and easy to clean. The fade-resistant inks ensure the colours remain bright and vibrant, even with long-term outdoor use.
Can these posters handle rain and direct sunlight?
Absolutely! Our outdoor PVC posters are designed to withstand all weather conditions. The material is moisture-resistant, so it won’t warp or crease in the rain. Plus, the UV-resistant inks keep the colours vivid and fade-free, even under direct sunlight.
How durable are your weatherproof PVC posters?
Made from heavyweight 450gsm PVC, these posters are built to last. They’re tear-resistant, crease-free, and designed for long-term outdoor use in all kinds of weather.
What sizes do you offer?
We offer seven standard sizes, including A0, A1, and A2 formats. If you need something different, we also provide custom-sized outdoor posters to meet your specific requirements.
Can I order a custom-sized weatherproof poster?
Yes! We can create custom-sized weatherproof posters tailored to your exact dimensions, whether you need a small or large format.
How are these outdoor posters printed?
We use state-of-the-art HP digital printers and latex inks to produce high-resolution 1400dpi images with rich CMYK colours. Printed at our dedicated facility in Croydon, we ensure exceptional quality and consistency for stunning results every time.
Do you supply frames and poster holders for outdoor use?

Artwork - What Happens Next?
After you have placed your order, our team will e-mail you with instructions on how to easily supply your artwork, or if you have chosen our design service, they will run through your specifications with you.
Free Artwork Check
We do a technical check on each file before printing posters. We are looking for the page to be the right size, all images and fonts to be present, and that any special effects or colours will work on large format printers. We are not checking for aesthetics or spelling and grammar. If you would like us to do that, please ask for a price.
Poster Design Service
We have been printing outdoor PVC posters for years, and our designers have a lot of experience. Whilst many of our clients use their own designers to provide ready-to-print artwork, our in-house designers offer a competitive service to bring your ideas to life. You can choose to add our design service when you add your poster to the basket. Discount Displays have been poster printing in the UK for over 30 years.
Will I Get a Proof?
We do not provide a proof as a matter of course because 9 times out of 10 deadlines are too tight, but we encourage you to order one if colours are critical. Each poster printer prints colours differently, so the only way to get a true indication is to have a machine proof. We cannot be held responsible if you don't have a proof.
