Print
Large format: what exactly is it?
Large format covers prints from roughly poster size upwards: banners, roll-ups, displays, posters, flags, wall graphics and shop window films. They work at a distance and must therefore rely on a few clear elements. One message, one strong image and one unambiguous next step do more than a lot of text.
Material and location determine the choice: indoors or outdoors, wind and weather, fixing, lifespan. For changing uses, quick assembly and dismantling also count. We clarify this before the design stage, so that the result not only looks good but lasts.
Background
Large format: why it matters.
With large format, what counts is the impact from several metres away. One message, one image and one clear call to action do more here than a lot of text.
Material, fixing and location (indoors, outdoors, wind, weather) determine what is suitable. We clarify this before the design stage.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about large format.
How large can the designs be?
That depends on the process and the material. We will tell you what is possible before the design stage.
Can you take care of the installation?
If needed, we arrange set-up and installation. We clarify this in the quotation.
Can outdoor banners withstand wind and weather?
Yes, with suitable material and the right fixing. We choose both to suit the location, for example air-permeable material where it is windy.
How much text can a poster take?
Not much. One main message and one call to action are usually enough. More text cannot be read from a distance.
Can I swap the designs later?
Yes, with roll-ups and systems with interchangeable graphics. We plan for this in advance.
