How to Choose the Right Large-Format Printing Material
The best large-format product depends on where it will be displayed, how long it needs to remain in place and whether it must be portable, weather-resistant or applied directly to a surface. Use this guide to compare popular signs, banners and display graphics before ordering.
| Large-Format Product | Best For | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Coroplast Signs | Yard signs, real estate signs, elections, events and temporary outdoor promotions | Lightweight, economical and suitable for short-term indoor or outdoor signage |
| Aluminum Signs | Property signage, parking signs, directional signs and business identification | Rigid and weather-resistant for longer-term outdoor applications |
| Foam Board | Presentations, events, photography, retail displays and indoor signage | Lightweight with a smooth display surface; primarily intended for indoor use |
| Styrene Signs | Retail displays, menu boards, point-of-purchase graphics and durable indoor signs | Thin, flexible and more durable than paper-based display boards |
| Vinyl Banners | Storefronts, events, construction sites, promotions and trade shows | Flexible, portable and available with finishing options for hanging |
| Pull-Up Banners | Trade shows, presentations, reception areas and portable displays | Retractable and easy to transport, set up and store |
| Adhesive Vinyl | Branded panels, decals, displays, windows and smooth surfaces | Applies directly to a suitable surface without a separate sign stand |
| Window Graphics | Storefront branding, promotions, privacy and seasonal campaigns | Turns available window space into advertising or decorative signage |
Choose Large-Format Products by Display Environment
Temporary Outdoor Signs
Coroplast is a practical choice for yard signs, real estate advertising, event directions and temporary outdoor campaigns. It is lightweight and can be paired with compatible stands or mounting options where available.
Longer-Term Outdoor Signs
Aluminum signs are better suited to applications that require a more rigid, durable material, such as parking, property, directional and business identification signs. Confirm the available mounting and finishing options on the individual product page.
Indoor Rigid Displays
Foam board works well for presentations, event displays and mounted graphics where low weight is important. Styrene is useful for retail, menu and point-of-purchase displays requiring a thin, durable surface.
Portable Event and Trade-Show Displays
Pull-up banners provide a self-contained retractable display that is easy to transport and assemble. Vinyl banners offer greater flexibility in size and placement when the graphic will be suspended or attached to a structure.
Storefront and Surface Graphics
Adhesive vinyl can add branding or promotional graphics to suitable smooth surfaces. Window graphics are designed specifically for storefront promotions, privacy graphics, business information and seasonal campaigns. Check the individual product specifications before selecting a material.
Standard Vinyl Banners vs. Mesh Banners
Standard vinyl provides a solid printable surface and is a strong general choice for events, storefronts and promotions. Mesh banner material allows more air to pass through it, making it worth considering for exposed or windier installations. Always install outdoor banners securely and select finishing options appropriate for the intended location.
Planning Your Large-Format Artwork
- Design using the correct finished dimensions or the scale specified in the product template.
- Keep important text, logos and contact details inside the recommended safe area.
- Use clear, high-resolution images appropriate for the final printed size.
- Make headlines large enough to read from the intended viewing distance.
- Use strong contrast and avoid overcrowding the layout with small text.
- Account for hems, grommets, stands, mounting holes or other finishing areas when positioning important content.
- Review the downloadable template and artwork requirements for the specific product before uploading your file.
Frequently Asked Questions About Large-Format Printing
What is the best material for an outdoor sign?
Coroplast is often suitable for temporary outdoor signs and yard signs. Aluminum is generally the better choice for rigid, longer-term property, parking or directional signage. The installation location and required lifespan should guide the final decision.
What is the difference between foam board and coroplast?
Foam board has a smooth presentation surface and is primarily used for indoor displays. Coroplast has a fluted plastic construction that makes it lightweight and better suited to temporary outdoor signage.
Should I choose a vinyl or pull-up banner?
Choose a vinyl banner when the graphic will be hung or attached to a structure. Choose a pull-up banner when you need a portable, self-contained display for trade shows, presentations or reception areas.
When should I use a mesh banner?
Mesh is worth considering for outdoor locations where wind exposure is a concern because its perforated construction allows more air to pass through the material.
Can I order large-format printing for delivery in Canada?
Yes. ReimerPrint offers online ordering for custom signs, banners and display graphics with delivery across Canada. Available sizes, materials, finishing and turnaround options vary by product.
