Waterproof Posters

Product Description

Waterproof posters are built to perform wherever standard paper posters simply cannot — outdoors, in wet environments and anywhere your message needs to stay sharp, bold and visible regardless of the weather. Printed on durable 220-micron or 400-micron PVC, these posters are fully weather-resistant, fade-resistant and tough enough for prolonged outdoor exposure without losing colour accuracy or print quality. Available in a wide range of sizes from A3 to A0 and larger display formats, supplied rolled in a protective tube and ready to install straight away. Printed in Brighton & Hove with UK-wide delivery available.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 220-micron PVC is a lighter, more flexible stock — easier to roll, transport and install, and ideal for short to medium-term outdoor displays and events. The 400-micron PVC is significantly heavier and more rigid — better suited to longer-term outdoor installations where maximum durability and resistance to handling are required. If in doubt, the 400mic is the right choice for permanent or semi-permanent outdoor signage.

Lifespan depends on the conditions and location of the display. In typical UK outdoor conditions, waterproof PVC posters on 400mic stock will maintain their colour and quality for several months to over a year. UV exposure will cause gradual fading over time — for very long-term outdoor installations, consider our aluminium composite signage or Correx boards for a more permanent solution.

Yes — waterproof PVC posters can be used in snap frames, poster holders and A-boards for outdoor use. The 220mic stock is more flexible and easier to fit into frames. Check the depth of your frame before ordering, as the 400mic stock is significantly thicker than a standard paper poster.

Standard paper posters — even on heavier silk or uncoated stock — are not suitable for outdoor use as moisture will quickly cause warping, tearing and colour degradation. Waterproof PVC posters are specifically designed for outdoor and wet environments, maintaining print quality and structural integrity regardless of weather conditions. See our standard posters for indoor paper poster options.

Yes — waterproof posters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, the PVC material gives a clean, durable finish that is resistant to handling, moisture and minor scuffs — ideal for high-traffic retail environments, kitchens, bathrooms and any space where a paper poster would be quickly damaged.

Waterproof posters pair perfectly with our Correx boards, outdoor A-boards and feather flags for a complete outdoor event display. For longer-term signage, see our aluminium composite signage and foam boards. All available with collection from our Brighton print shop or UK-wide delivery.
