Show all templates for blueback posters
Starting at £ 16.75
Blueback posters have, as the name states, a blue back and can therefore be printed only on one side. The blue backing prevents posters underneath from showing through, when pasting on billboards. When used on windows these posters are non-transparent, which provides an extra dimension and quality to your poster. A little late with your order? No problem, with our fast delivery, you can have your posters next day!

Submission specifications for Blueback posters
- Add 3 mm bleed.
- To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 3 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
- Resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
- Use CMYK as the color mode.
- Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use colormode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colormode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

- Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.

Frequently Asked Questions for Blueback posters
- What is this product exactly? And what can I use it for?
- A poster is an unfolded sheet of paper, often larger sized, which is suspended / pasted on windows, walls, columns or plates. Large sized posters stand out impressively and you can be sure that they catch people’s attention.
- This product is used to / as:
- Introduce people to your business
- Promote discounts or events
- Provide information
- Which production techniques do you use?
- For the production of your Blueback posters we use the following production technique(s):
Digital printing uses four colours (CMYK) with toners and inks to print digital files. This option is comparable to large home printer, and is cheaper than ‘litho’ printing for smaller quantities. This is because there are less starting costs, less components involved, and no ink drying time necessary.
Offset Lithography printing or Litho printing makes it possible to provide larger quantities at unbeatable prices. This technique creates images and text with wet ink and transferred to each paper sheet with aluminium and rubber plates. This method is more extensive than its 'digital’ counterpart because of the different printing materials that are used. Still, it is the most cost-effective option when you order bigger printed batches.
- Which materials can I choose from?
- a7.35-115gsm blueback: This type of paper is mainly used for pasting on triangle plates, two-signs and billboards. The blue back ensures that these posters are not see through, allowing you to paste them easily on another poster. In addition, these posters are made specifically for outdoor use and have a much better adhesion than normal print, because of coarse structure of the back.
- Will my affiche be folded at the delivery?
- No, the posters will be delivered rolled up (large sizes) or flat (small sizes).
- What is the fastest possible turnaround?
- The fastest possible turnaround for Blueback posters is:
- Next day.
- To make sure that your order is delivered at the indicated time, it is important that we receive your file with your design for the product, on time (also called cut-off time).
