Scientific poster formats and prices

The size almost every conference accepts is A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), portrait or landscape at the same price; A1 is the more compact alternative and A2 works for short sessions and corridor posters. If the board gave you a size of its own, we print that too. Below are the three paper weights on anti-glare matte coated paper; for other sizes and 200 gsm paper see the custom posters page.

Why researchers print their poster with us

We have worked for 20 years with PhD students, researchers and university groups in Rome. We know the tight deadlines of conferences and the needs of a scientific poster.

Half an hour on the machine

A poster takes about 30 minutes to print. If your PDF is ready and you come by the shop, you almost always take it away the same day: when the conference deadline is tomorrow, that is the difference between making it and not.

Anti-glare matte paper

Matte coated paper eliminates reflections under conference-hall spotlights: text, charts and tables stay readable up close and from afar.

A0 and A1 by the book

We print the standard formats accepted by conferences and any specific size required by the board, portrait or landscape.

A stone's throw from the universities

At Via di Porta Castello 29, 200 m from the Vatican and convenient for Rome's universities: drop by, collect, go. Posters are collection only: we don't ship them.

Free file check

Before printing we check dimensions, image resolution and embedded fonts: we let you know for free if something isn't right.

Ready to travel

We hand it over rolled, with no creases: if you have a drawing tube, use it. Or Forex mounting for a rigid, reusable panel.

How to prepare your scientific poster file

The simplest way is to start from PowerPoint (or Google Slides, Keynote, InDesign), setting the slide to the final poster size right away: for an A0 set 84.1 × 118.9 cm, for an A1 59.4 × 84.1 cm. Working at the real dimensions from the start avoids blurry text and wrong proportions in print.

For images, charts and microscope photos use a resolution of at least 150 dpi at the final size: at that scale the eye can't tell more and the file stays manageable. Embed the fonts (export to PDF with 'embed fonts') so titles and symbols don't change. Finally export to PDF: it's the format that best preserves layout and quality.

If in doubt, send the file to stampa@guug.it: we check dimensions, resolution and fonts for free before printing and tell you straight away whether the poster will come out sharp. If the conference gave you precise guidelines (dimensions, orientation, margins), attach them: we'll match their standard.

Frequently asked questions

What is the standard format for a conference poster?

The most common format is A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), usually portrait; A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) is the more compact alternative. Many conferences specify exact dimensions and orientation in their author guidelines: always check your conference's rules and, if needed, we print to custom size.

What paper do you use for scientific posters?

For scientific posters we recommend matte coated paper: the anti-glare finish ensures maximum readability of text, charts and tables under conference-hall lights. We only use glossy photo paper when the poster is dominated by images and colour rendering needs to be enhanced.

How much does it cost to print an A0 or A1 scientific poster?

On anti-glare matte coated paper it starts from € 6 for an A2, € 11 for an A1 and € 15 for an A0 per copy (90 gsm paper, VAT included); with the heavier 200 gsm paper it goes up to € 19 (A1) and € 27 (A0). Forex mounting is an optional extra. For several copies send the file to stampa@guug.it: we will quickly tell you the exact total.

How long does it take to print a poster?

The printing itself takes about 30 minutes. If the file is fine and you come to the shop you can wait for it here: it only depends on how many jobs are ahead of yours. If you're in an emergency, call us on +39 06 4424 0707 and we'll sort it out — we're used to last-minute conference deadlines.

How do I prepare the poster file?

Set the document (PowerPoint, InDesign, etc.) to the final poster size (A0 = 84.1 × 118.9 cm), use images at least 150 dpi at that size, embed the fonts and export to PDF. If in doubt, send us the file: we check it for free before printing.

How do I transport the poster to the conference?

We hand it over rolled, with no creases: if you have a drawing tube, use it for the journey. Alternatively, Forex mounting (expanded PVC) turns it into a rigid, lightweight panel that's reusable and easy to hang on your stand. Posters are collection only: we don't ship them.

Do you also print posters in English or for international students?

Yes, we print scientific posters in any language: you prepare the file, we handle the printing. We're 200 m from the Vatican, convenient too for international researchers and PhD students visiting Rome.
