# Large-format printing: supports, prices and uses

**In short:** large-format printing covers all large advertising supports — banners, roll-ups, panels, adhesives, stands. Price depends mainly on the **support**, the **size** (often per m²), the **finish** and the **quantity**.

## Main supports
- **Banner** (PVC): for outdoor, resistant, ideal for facades and events.
- **Roll-up**: a retractable support, perfect for trade shows and points of sale.
- **Rigid panels** (Dibond, PVC, cardboard): signage, POS.
- **Adhesives & window graphics**: shop windows, vehicles, floors.
- **Textile**: flags, banners, sets.

## What sets the price
- **The support and its durability** (indoor vs outdoor).
- **The surface** (often billed per m²).
- **The finish** (eyelets, hems, lamination, cutting).
- **The quantity** and the **lead time** (express costs more).

## Making your large-format visual work
- Design in **high resolution** suited to the reading distance.
- Respect **bleeds** and safety zones.
- A message legible **from afar**: little text, strong contrast.
- Check the colour mode (CMYK) to avoid surprises.

## FAQ
**How much does an advertising banner cost?**
It depends on size (per m²), PVC weight and finishes (eyelets, hems). Ask a large-format printer for a quote.

**What resolution for large format?**
Useful resolution depends on reading distance: a panel seen from afar tolerates lower definition than one seen up close. Follow the printer's recommendations.

**Banner or rigid panel?**
Banner for large surfaces and flexible outdoor (facades, events); rigid panel for durable signage and POS.
