Large-format printing
Every so often it’s necessary to produce large-format printed materials, including large posters, poster board inserts, banners and so-on.
All large-format printing should be proofed by the Communications Team and printed via the Church’s preferred print supplier.
Please allow at least a two-week lead time for external printing. This gives the Communications Team time to proof the material, make any necessary changes, order the print job and allow for delivery.
General principles
If you need help producing content or artwork for large format printing, please ask the Communications Team for help.
- Keep the amount of content to a minimum – large format printing is generally intended to be read as people pass by.
- Make sure everything is large enough to be clear at the expected reading distance.
- Check that all images are high enough resolution to reproduce well. If possible, use vector graphics.
- Aim for reusability. Can the printing be generic enough that we can use it for the same event next year, for example.
- If you’re planning to reuse the print, make sure you have somewhere to store it.
- Double check all dates, times, locations and URLs.
- If using QR Codes, make use of our URL shortener to generate codes which are easily scannable and redirectable.
