Poster and banner printing in Nairobi: buying guide
Poster and banner printing in Nairobi begins with the display location and viewing distance. An indoor notice read at arm's length needs different artwork from a large event display. Specify the finished dimensions, material, quantity, installation needs and required date before comparing prices.
All-Pod lists A4 posters, A3 posters, A2 posters, A1 posters and custom large format printing. Choose a fixed poster format or request a reviewed specification when the display needs a particular material or construction.
Design for the person reading the display
Keep the main message visible before adding detail. An event poster needs the event name, date, location and next step. A shop promotion needs the offer and any conditions. A presentation graphic may need charts or diagrams that remain readable from the back of the room.
Print a reduced layout for proofreading, then inspect the full-size design for image quality and text size. Reducing a large graphic can hide problems that become obvious in the final print. A QR code should be sized and placed for the distance at which someone will scan it.
Match the material to the environment
Describe whether the display is indoors or outdoors, how long it will be used and whether it will face sunlight, moisture or repeated handling. Ask the team to confirm the available material against those conditions. Do not assume every paper poster or large format material is suitable for outdoor installation.
The printed graphic, support structure and installation are separate parts of a display brief. Mounting boards, frames, stands, eyelets or other specialist finishes should be explicitly reviewed where required. Include a photograph or measurements of the intended installation area if that helps explain the job.
Compare fixed formats and custom dimensions
| Choice | Quote details to confirm |
|---|---|
| Fixed-format paper poster | Product format, paper, printed sides and quantity |
| Custom large format print | Actual width, height and available material |
| Mounted display | Printed graphic plus reviewed board or mounting |
| Installed display | Production, hardware and installation responsibilities |
The large format product uses the finished area and selected material in its configured pricing. A paper poster has its own product specification. Compare identical dimensions and finishing rather than assuming the same advertised starting figure applies to both routes.
Supply a complete production file
Use sharp artwork at the final size and keep essential content away from trim or fixing areas. Embed fonts and follow the PDF preparation guide. Ask the team to confirm unusual dimensions before exporting the final artwork.
Include the required arrival date and delivery destination. Production time and delivery time are separate, and installation can add another dependency. See delivery and turnaround and confirm a fixed deadline before payment.
Compare A4, A3, A2 and A1 posters
| Format | Finished dimensions | A starting use to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm | A nearby noticeboard, reception counter or information sheet |
| A3 | 297 × 420 mm | An indoor event notice, classroom display or shop promotion |
| A2 | 420 × 594 mm | A larger promotional display or presentation graphic |
| A1 | 594 × 841 mm | A large display with a viewing distance to plan around |
These are format dimensions, not a promise of outdoor suitability. Use the actual product options for paper and finishing. For a custom dimension, choose large format printing and confirm the available material. A banner's required hardware and installation need their own review.
Current A3 poster price examples
These examples use the current default eligible paper specification. Read the specification beside each total; printed sides, stock and finishing affect the result. Prices are before applicable VAT and delivery.
KSh 360.00 for 10 A3 posters. Art/Matt Paper 135G, one-sided, one distinct page, unlaminated, no additional finishing. Before applicable VAT and delivery.
KSh 3,600.00 for 100 A3 posters. Art/Matt Paper 135G, one-sided, one distinct page, unlaminated, no additional finishing. Before applicable VAT and delivery.
For example, 20 identical indoor event posters need a quantity of 20 with one artwork. If the PDF contains several distinct poster pages, tell us whether you want 20 of each page or 20 posters divided between designs. That distinction changes the complete job. For a custom banner, supply the final width and height rather than only its paper-size equivalent.
Order posters with the assistant to compare the available paper and printed sides, then upload the final artwork for a saved quote. Use a reviewed enquiry for installation or a material requirement the catalogue does not confirm.
FAQ
What poster sizes can I order?
The catalogue includes A4, A3, A2 and A1 poster products. For other dimensions or a specific display material, use the custom large format route or request a reviewed quote.
Can I use a printed poster outside?
Describe the exposure and duration, then confirm the selected material and finishing with the team. A standard paper poster should not be assumed to have outdoor durability.
How is banner printing priced?
The quote depends on the finished dimensions, selected material and reviewed finishing. Open the current large format product or send those details in a bulk enquiry.
