A2 Custom Printing on Waterproof Polypropylene

This is not a paper poster with a water-resistant coating. The A2 Printing Service on 340gsm Waterproof Polypropylene produces a fully synthetic, chemically waterproof print on 100% plastic media that can be left outdoors in rain, condensation, frost and humidity without crinkling, running, warping or degrading. The 340gsm weight gives every poster a rigid, flat-lay profile that sits perfectly inside snap frames, pavement signs and display stands without sagging, curling or dropping out of position. Printed at 1200 dpi on a dedicated Epson photo-grade printer with eco-friendly inks, the satin finish delivers sharp, glare-free colour that reads cleanly in direct sunlight, retail spotlights and overcast British weather alike.

This is a print-to-order service. You supply the artwork, we handle the printing and deliver with free UK mainland shipping.

What 340gsm Polypropylene Does That Paper Cannot

• Chemically waterproof, not just water-resistant: This is 100% synthetic polypropylene, not coated paper. Water does not penetrate the substrate. You could submerge this poster and it would come out undamaged. Rain, condensation inside a snap frame, splashes from a nearby road and overnight dew all have zero effect on the print or the material. This is the difference between a poster that survives a shower and one that survives a season.
• 340gsm flat-lay precision with anti-curl properties: The 340gsm weight is deliberately heavy for a poster substrate. It gives the polypropylene a semi-rigid body that sits flat inside a snap frame or A-board without sagging, bowing or developing the rippled appearance that thinner media picks up within days of outdoor installation. The built-in anti-curl properties mean the poster holds its position from the first day to the last, with no edge lift and no repositioning required.
• Satin finish for spotlight-ready presentation: The satin surface eliminates the reflective glare that glossy posters create under direct lighting, while maintaining the colour vibrancy and contrast that matte finishes sacrifice. In retail windows, lit snap frames and spotlit display stands, your poster is legible from every angle without competing with its own reflection.
• 1200 dpi Epson photo-grade printing: Every poster is printed on a dedicated Epson photo-grade printer at 1200 dpi. Sharp text, clean gradients, accurate colour reproduction and detailed product photography at a resolution that holds up at close viewing distances, not just from across the street.
• UV-resistant with up to 100-year fade resistance: The combination of UV-protective substrate and fade-resistant eco-friendly inks delivers colour longevity rated for up to 100 years in indoor environments and sustained seasonal performance outdoors. Where a standard paper poster fades noticeably within weeks of outdoor display, polypropylene maintains its original vibrancy across an entire season and beyond.
• Tear-resistant, anti-scuff and handling-proof: Polypropylene does not tear along grain lines the way paper does, and the anti-scuff surface resists the marks, scratches and abrasions that accumulate during repeated handling, snap frame insertion and daily use in high-traffic environments. The poster survives the full lifecycle of a working display without developing rips, scuffs, creases or dog-ears at the corners.
• Recyclable at end of life: When you eventually replace the poster, the polypropylene is fully recyclable. Durable outdoor performance without the environmental compromise of single-use disposable signage.

The Essential Engine for Your Display Hardware

Order Now and Send Your Artwork When Ready

You do not need finished artwork to place your order. Here is how the process works:

1. Place your order to secure your print slot.
2. Receive a personalised A2 print template from our team within 24 hours, with clear instructions on preparing your artwork file.
3. Complete your design and send it back. Our production team carries out colour calibration and quality checks before printing.

Production takes 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. That timeline allows for precision colour matching on the polypropylene substrate, which behaves differently to paper and requires specific calibration to deliver accurate, vivid results.

The real cost of a paper poster is not what you pay to print it. It is what you pay to replace it. A paper poster in an outdoor snap frame lasts, on average, one to two weeks before rain damage, UV fading or condensation makes it look unprofessional enough to replace. Multiply that across a full trading season and the cost of reprinting outweighs the cost of the display hardware itself. The A2 Printing Service on 340gsm Waterproof Polypropylene eliminates that cycle entirely. One print survives an entire season of British outdoor conditions because the substrate is not paper. It is a 100% synthetic plastic media that is chemically incapable of absorbing water. The ink cannot run because the material does not absorb moisture. The poster cannot crinkle because polypropylene does not expand and contract with humidity the way paper fibres do.

The 340gsm weight is a deliberate engineering choice. At 340 grams per square metre, this is a semi-rigid substrate with genuine body and built-in anti-curl properties. It sits flat inside a snap frame with the kind of flat-lay precision that thinner polypropylene and laminated paper cannot match. There is no sag towards the bottom of the poster. No bow away from the backing panel. No gradual curl at the edges as the material relaxes over time. The anti-scuff surface resists the scratches, marks and abrasions that accumulate every time a snap frame is opened and closed. The poster lies flat on day one, stays flat on day ninety and still looks sharp after months of daily use in a pavement sign or A-board.

The satin finish completes the picture. It sits between gloss and matte, delivering the colour vibrancy and contrast depth that matte finishes sacrifice, without the reflective glare that makes glossy posters unreadable under retail spotlights or in direct sunlight. For businesses using lit snap frames, window displays or pavement signs positioned where sunlight catches the surface, the satin finish means customers can read your poster from any angle at any time of day. The eco-friendly inks are rated for up to 100 years of fade resistance in indoor environments, and sustained seasonal performance outdoors under direct UV exposure. When the poster eventually reaches end of life, the polypropylene is fully recyclable.

Every order goes through a human-led artwork review before production. Polypropylene prints differently to paper. Colours behave differently on a synthetic substrate, and the calibration needed to produce accurate, vivid results requires specific attention that an automated print queue does not provide. Our UK print team checks every submitted file, performs colour calibration specific to the polypropylene media and only proceeds to production once they are satisfied the output will match your expectations. The 3 to 5 working day production window is not a limitation. It is the time needed to do this properly.
