Poster Printing in South Jersey

A great poster stops people in their tracks. Whether it's hanging in a retail window, mounted in a lobby, displayed at a trade show, or posted at an event entrance — a well-printed poster commands attention in a way digital screens simply can't replicate. Bold color, sharp graphics, and the right size for your space make all the difference.

Bellia prints posters in full color or black and white on our wide-format press, with gloss or matte coating options and a full range of mounting choices for presentations, displays, and long-term signage. Choose a standard poster size, request custom dimensions, or ask about a contour-cut display that follows the shape of your logo, character, product, or artwork. Need a design? Our in-house team can build it from scratch or work from your existing files.

Based in Woodbury, NJ, we've been producing high-impact print for South Jersey businesses since 1973.

Which Poster Size Should I Choose?

Small Displays

16" × 20"

Ideal for retail counters, bulletin boards, restaurant promotions, classroom displays, and event announcements where viewers are standing nearby.

Most Popular

18" × 24" & 24" × 36"

These are Bellia's most frequently ordered poster sizes. Large enough to attract attention without overwhelming a space, they're ideal for trade shows, lobbies, storefronts, presentations, and community events.

Maximum Impact

27" × 39", 36" × 48", & Larger

Oversized posters command attention from across a room and are ideal for trade show graphics, presentation displays, event entrances, museum exhibits, and retail environments. Custom dimensions are also available.

Mounted vs. Unmounted — Which Do You Need?

Unmounted posters are printed on premium poster paper with your choice of gloss or matte finish. They're easy to roll, frame, transport, and replace — making them the best choice for temporary promotions, event signage, and framed artwork.

Mounted posters are permanently adhered to a rigid backing such as foam board or PVC, creating a clean, professional display without requiring a frame. They're ideal for presentations, trade shows, lobbies, easel displays, and long-term signage.

Need Something Custom?

Need an oversized poster, custom dimensions, specialty mounting, or a contour-cut shape that follows your logo, product, character, photograph, or artwork? Bellia Design, Print & Mail can produce custom display graphics for unique applications. Contour cutting is especially effective for life-size cutouts, branded displays, retail graphics, event props, directional displays, and freestanding promotional pieces.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

Posters — Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between mounted and unmounted posters?

Unmounted posters are printed on premium paper stock and are ideal for framing, temporary displays, retail promotions, and event signage. Mounted posters are adhered to a rigid board such as foam core, Gatorboard, or PVC, creating a professional display that can stand on an easel or mount directly to a wall without requiring a frame.

Which mounting option should I choose?

Foamboard is a lightweight and economical choice for presentations, trade shows, event displays, and other indoor applications. An easel back can also be added when you need a self-standing tabletop or counter display. For a more rigid, durable plastic sign, consider our PVC Board Signs, also known as expanded PVC or Sintra®.

What’s the difference between gloss and matte?

Gloss UV produces brighter colors and deeper contrast, making it a strong choice for photography, retail graphics, and image-heavy designs. Matte offers a softer, low-glare finish that is easier to read under bright lighting and works well for text-heavy posters, presentations, and professional office displays.

Can I order a custom-size poster?

Yes. Bellia produces custom-size posters for retail displays, presentations, trade shows, events, and special projects. Call 856.845.2234 or request a custom quote.

Can I get a contour-cut poster?

Yes. Custom contour-cut posters and mounted display boards are available for logos, mascots, products, people, characters, photographs, and other unique shapes. Contour-cut displays work especially well for life-size cutouts, retail promotions, trade show graphics, event props, and branded displays. Because each project requires individual artwork and material review, request a custom quote for pricing.

How should I prepare my poster artwork?

Build your artwork at the exact size and orientation you are ordering. Submit a print-ready PDF or high-resolution JPG in CMYK color mode with a minimum resolution of 150 dpi at the final printed size. No bleed is required for standard rectangular posters, and crop marks or printer marks should not be included unless Bellia specifically requests them. Keep important text, logos, QR codes, and other critical content at least 0.5" inside the finished edges. Before submitting your order, carefully review your artwork, spelling, images, QR codes, layout, dimensions, and orientation to make sure everything is correct.

How should I prepare artwork for contour cutting?

Vector artwork is preferred for contour-cut displays. Include a clearly identified cut path around the intended shape, or provide the original artwork so we can review the file and prepare the cut line. Keep text, logos, faces, and other important details safely inside the intended cut edge. Request a custom quote if you need help determining the material, finished size, or artwork setup.

Can I see a proof before my poster is printed?

Yes. After uploading your artwork, you can generate a low-resolution PDF proof from the shopping cart before checkout to review your poster’s layout, placement, sizing, and overall appearance. Carefully check your artwork, spelling, dimensions, logos, contact information, and other important details before submitting your order. If Bellia’s in-house design team creates or prepares your poster artwork, we’ll provide a design proof for your approval before printing.

Yes. Bellia Design, Print & Mail’s in-house graphic design team can create everything from retail displays and event posters to trade show graphics, presentation boards, contour-cut displays, and large-format promotional signage.
