Timeline
Normal turnaround time for printing a poster is 2 working days. Priority Service is available for clients requesting posters with less than a two-working-day turnaround. Priority Service will be charged as the cost of the poster + 50%.
Templates
The Office of Communications have produced a set of templates for help in creating your posters. By using the following templates, your poster will look professional, be easy to read, and you will save time. Click on your poster size for the correct template.
In Microsoft PowerPoint, please do not use the transparency function and refrain from using the MS PowerPoint automatic drop shadow on your poster. This can result in printing problems. Also refrain from grouping several items together (ie.: text, chart, boxes). This can result in printing problems.
Design Help
If you are unable to create your poster, we offer services to design the poster for you. The extra cost for this service will be the standard hourly design rate of $75. Also, allow at least two EXTRA days of design time for us to complete your project.
