The poster that blocks what's behind it. 12PT C2S blockout substrate is fully opaque: no light bleeds through from the back, no ghost image from the window or wall behind it. Install over a window and the outside world disappears. Use as a room divider graphic, a trade show back wall, or a window graphic that doubles as a privacy screen. The retail store covering a construction window while a renovation runs. The restaurant blocking a service entrance view. The trade show booth creating a full-height branded back wall. Any size from 12"×18" to 120"×120", priced per square foot. A fraction of the cost of backlit substrate for applications that don't need to glow. Specify your exact dimensions at order time.

How It Works

Choose Size, Stock & Finish

Gloss or matte poster paper for vivid indoor display, blockout for double-sided, backlit film for lightboxes, or stretched canvas for a gallery look.

Design at Full Resolution

Posters reward detail. We provide a template at the exact size and DPI so photos and type stay crisp at full scale, with no soft edges.

Free Design Review

Our NJ team checks resolution at print size, color accuracy, and bleed before printing, so a great design does not turn pixelated at three feet wide.

Posters ship rolled in a protective tube. Canvas ships stretched on a frame, ready to hang, or rolled for your own framing.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between gloss and matte posters?

Gloss makes photos and color pop, the go-to for product shots, events, and movie-style posters. Matte (dull) cuts glare and is easier to read under bright light, better for text-heavy posters and framed display. Both print full color on heavy poster stock.

What resolution do I need for a poster?

Aim for 150 DPI or higher at the final print size. A small web image scaled up to poster size looks soft, so start from the largest original you have. Our free design review checks resolution at actual size and flags anything that won't hold up.

Can a poster print on both sides?

Yes, on our blockout stock. Its opaque core keeps the back image from ghosting through the front, which is ideal for window displays seen from inside and out.

How are posters shipped?

Rolled in a protective tube so they arrive crease-free. Stretched canvas ships on its frame ready to hang; we can also ship canvas rolled if you'd rather frame it yourself.

Are posters made for outdoor use?

Posters and canvas are built for indoor display. For outdoor messaging, coroplast or aluminum signs and vinyl banners are made to take the weather. Just ask and we'll point you to the right product.

Do you print gallery canvas?

Yes. Artist-grade canvas, stretched on a solid wood frame for a finished gallery look, or rolled if you have your own framer. Popular for office lobbies, restaurants, and client gifts.

What if something is wrong with my order?

The L&B Promise: if we make a printing error on our end, we'll reprint your order at no charge. In practice, it rarely gets that far. Our free design review process catches virtually every issue before we go to press. We stand behind every job. Call us at 908.232.7770 if you ever have a concern.
