Get seen in high-traffic zones

High-traffic areas like bus shelters and shop windows are a great opportunity to maximise the visibility of your posters, but some posters have the drawback of allowing light to shine through. This can make your message hard to read and reduce the impact of your advertising. Blueback posters have an opaque, light-blocking back – increasing legibility and ensuring that your posters get seen, even on the sunniest days. The blueback layer also blocks any poster it’s laid on top of. So you can hang posters on popular poster columns without having to worry about the images underneath showing through.

Quality, light-blocking paper

You can create blueback posters for sales, promotions, product launches or big events. No matter what type of design you create, your poster will have a professional, high-quality look and feel. Printed on 115 gsm paper stock, blueback posters are designed for outdoor use due to their light-blocking feature, but they are not water-resistant. Please bear this in mind when hanging your posters.
