What large format printing is, and when it's worth it
We call large format printing everything that doesn't fit in a conventional press: pieces measured in metres that come off roll-fed or flatbed machines onto materials ranging from a façade banner to a rigid panel cut to shape. The jump isn't just in size. The substrate changes, the finish changes and the way you look at the file changes, because an image that works in a leaflet can fall apart when taken up to three metres.
It pays off when the piece needs to be seen from afar, withstand the outdoors, or cover a large surface without the joins showing: façades, shop windows, site hoardings, branded walls, warehouse signage, or campaigns repeated across several shops at once. And it pays off especially when the printer is also the installer, because half of large-format problems appear right at that seam.
Every substrate has its own page: we cover large outdoor pieces under advertising banners, adhesive on glass and walls under adhesive vinyl, tensioned fabric under textile printing, and short-campaign pieces under posters and signage. If what needs covering is a vehicle's bodywork, that's vehicle wrapping. The whole silo is at digital printing.
The site matters more
than the material
Before choosing a substrate you need to know where the piece will be installed and how long it needs to last there. These are the situations we see most often, each with its usual solution.
Façade banners, site hoardings and pole banners. Here wind and fixing are what matter: the anchoring system is calculated and, if the surface calls for it, the material is micro-perforated to let air through.
Quote for a façade banner →Campaigns on glass and fixtures, usually repeated across several shops. Produced in batches and installed on routes so every shop changes the same week.
Quote for a shop-window campaign →Murals, branded walls and office cladding. The key decision is the finish: gloss shows up every imperfection in the wall, and indoors it almost always calls for matte.
Quote for an indoor mural →Direct printing on PVC, foam board, dibond or acrylic, cut to shape. It's the basis for information panels, display stands and construction-site elements.
Quote for rigid panels →Built-up letters for the façade or reception: halo-lit, with a glow on the wall; face-lit, to read from afar at night; or unlit, in lacquered aluminium. Made to measure and installed with a template.
Quote for built-up letters →Floor vinyl with the appropriate slip rating, and floor coverings for warehouses and industrial spaces. Removed without leaving residue.

and with what finish
The material determines durability and the finish determines whether it looks good. The same graphic calls for one thing on a sun-drenched shop window and another on an office wall.
Banner
For outdoor use and large surfaces: façades, scaffolding, hoardings and pole banners. Reinforced with eyelets or a perimeter pocket and, in exposed areas, micro-perforated so wind can pass through.
Printed vinyl + laminate
Adhesive on glass, walls or fixtures. The laminate is what makes the difference between a piece that lasts years and one that fades within a season.
Removable vinyl
For campaigns with an expiry date. Comes off cleanly with no adhesive residue, which is what any rented or franchised premises requires.
Rigid substrates
Foamed PVC, foam board and dibond. Printed flat and cut to shape for panels, display stands and signage.
Acrylic
When the piece needs to look premium: printing on the back of the acrylic, a polished edge and mounting with standoffs.
Tensioned textile
Fabric on an aluminium frame: glare-free, lightweight and foldable. Only the fabric is changed and the frame stays.
Backlit and paper
Translucent material for light boxes and display stands, and paper for bus shelters and short-campaign signage, where the graphic is changed every few weeks.
How we work
From the file to the
piece installed
- Step 01
Measurements and location
Before the file, we care about where the piece is going: surface, height, sun exposure and how long it needs to last there. That's where the substrate and finish come from, not the other way round. A site visit to measure if needed.
- Step 02
File and colour review
We check resolution, colour profile and bleed at actual size. If the logo can't handle the enlargement we tell you before printing, and on critical pieces a colour proof is made on the final substrate.
- Step 03
Production in the workshop
Printing, laminating and cutting in Cabrera de Mar. Since we don't depend on an outside supplier, we can prioritise an urgent job without getting stuck behind someone else's.
- Step 04
Finishing, transport and installation
Eyelets, frames, standoffs or whatever system the installation calls for, and fitting with our own crew. Multi-store campaigns are organised by route so every location changes at the same time.
Which substrate to choose based on where the piece goes
A summary to get you oriented before the call. The durability shown is typical with correct installation and normal exposure; in full sun and south-facing, always expect less.
| Substrate | Typical use | Location | Durability | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banner | Façades, scaffolding, hoardings and pole banners | Outdoor | +5 years | Low |
| Permanent vinyl + laminate | Shop windows, walls, fixtures and signage | Indoor and outdoor | 5-10 years | Medium |
| Removable vinyl | Seasonal campaigns and promotions | Indoor and outdoor | 2-3 years | Medium |
| Rigid (PVC, foam board, dibond) | Panels, display stands and construction sites | Indoor and outdoor | Depends on material and exposure | Medium |
| Acrylic | Indoor pieces with a premium finish | Indoor | +10 years | High |
| Tensioned textile | Branded walls and reusable spaces | Indoor | Reusable | Medium-high |
| Paper and backlit | Bus shelters, signage and light boxes | Indoor | Campaign | Very low |
How the price of large format printing is calculated
The base is the printed square metre, but the square metre only explains part of it. On top come the substrate, the finish and the installation, and that last one is usually what moves the total the most: the same banner costs one thing at a street-level shop and another eight metres up with a street-occupation permit.
That's why we quote broken down by piece, with its size, material and finish, and installation separate. That way you know what to trim if the total goes over budget, and how much it costs to add one more location without renegotiating the whole thing.
Send us measurements and we'll break it down for youWhat moves the quote the most
- Total surface area and number of piecesA 20 m² piece doesn't cost the same as twenty one-metre pieces: the square metre price drops with volume, but each piece adds preparation work.
- Substrate and finishThe material is only part of it. Laminating, shape-cutting, eyelets or a frame can weigh more than the printing itself.
- Where and at what height it's installedA street-level shop window and a façade eight metres up with a street-occupation permit are worlds apart in installation cost.
- Repetition across shops or sitesIf the same size is repeated across several locations, it's produced in a batch and installed by route. It's the biggest saving available.
- Lead timeWith margin, production runs in the most efficient order. In a hurry, machine time and priority need to be reserved, and that shows.
