A1 or A2?

The same file prints at either size. A1 fills a wall and reads from across the room; A2 sits comfortably above a desk or in a hallway.

The A1 and A2 posters hung side by side beside the silhouette of a 1.7 metre adult.

How to print it

Take the PDF to a print shop such as Warehouse Stationery, Snap, or any local printer, and ask for a poster print at A1 (594 × 841 mm) or A2 (420 × 594 mm). The file is the shape of an A-series sheet, so either size prints without cropping.

For paper, ask for satin or gloss poster paper of around 200 gsm, which is what our printed posters use. Plain paper works but looks flatter.
