Poster Size

Sustainable Poster Design Tips

Embrace empty space — a clear and uncrowded layout makes your poster more readable and attractive.
Avoid complex designs and detailed pictures — they are hard to read and require more ink and energy during printing.
Recommended print size for A0 posters: main title 75–100 pt, subheadings 45–60 pt, body text 24–36 pt.
Add a QR code linking to a website or digital content, allowing your poster to remain concise and effective.
Create a poster that can be reused for future events or repurposed as an educational tool.

Arranging Printing Yourself

Choose recycled or FSC-certified uncoated paper to ensure responsible sourcing.
Avoid laminates, varnishes, and gloss paper, as these prevent recycling.
