Poster Printing Tips

Allow at least three days in advance to print your poster. If there is a big poster session, our deadline will need more lead time.

Poster Size

Check the poster size required by the event you are attending. Every event has its own requirements, and there is not a “normal” size for a poster. Our papers are 42” wide, so either the width or height of your poster must be 42” or less. If building a poster in PowerPoint, the program limits the size of slides to 56”.

Types of Prints

There are two types of prints available – both are high-quality and use fade-resistant pigment-based ink.

  1. Archival polypropylene is acid-free: it won’t alter the inks (adding to the longevity of the print), and it’s tear-resistant. It also tends to print a better range of color. This print cannot be recycled.
  2. Our regular paper is a heavy-weight paper that works best for limited-use posters. Being that it’s paper, it is also the greener option and can be recycled.

Save and send the file as PDF:

Save your file in this format which will tell us which print material to choose:

  • first.last_name.poster/eventinfo.Regular (or) Poly.pptx
  • Example: laura.stutrud_BuildPoster_HowConference.poly.pptx

Send the poster using the following distribution list. It will go to John Lee and Laura Stutrud: UNDsmhsgraphics@UND.edu.

Or you can upload the poster using the SMHS DropBox. You must have a UND account to use the DropBox.

Poster Pickup

You may pick up your poster at the Library & Information Resources desk located on the second floor of the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences building.
