11x17 and 12x18 Poster Printing for Churches, Events and Businesses
Flyover Print prints custom small posters in 11" x 17" and 12" x 18", in full color from edge to edge. Choose 100# Gloss Text as the standard paper, or step up to 80# Gloss Cover, 14PT Cardstock Gloss or 14PT Cardstock Uncoated for a thicker poster that holds up longer. Order as few as 10 posters for one building or up to 2,500 for a full campaign, with 5-day, 3-day or next-day production. Every poster is printed in-house in Highland, Indiana and shipped flat, so it arrives ready to hang.
Which poster size should you choose?
| Size | Also called | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 11" x 17" | Tabloid or ledger size | Bulletin boards, community boards, classroom and hallway walls, and standard 11 x 17 frames |
| 12" x 18" | Small poster | Lobby displays, store and office windows, and spots where you want a little more presence |
Both sizes print full bleed, so your color and photos run right to the edge. Need something smaller to hand out? See our business flyers and church flyers. Need something bigger? See vinyl banners and retractable banners.
Posters for churches, events and local businesses
- Church events and sermon series: promote Easter and Christmas Eve service times, a new series, baptism Sunday or a church picnic.
- Kids ministry and youth: VBS, camp sign-ups and room signs that bring a hallway to life.
- Lobby and coffee bar: next steps, small groups, serve teams and giving information where people stop and read.
- Store windows and counters: sales, grand openings, new hours and seasonal specials.
- Conferences and company events: agendas, schedules, sponsor thank-yous and directional posters for offsites, galas and trade shows.
- Schools and fundraisers: concerts, games, open houses and community events on every bulletin board in town.
Choosing the right paper
| Paper | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 100# Gloss Text (standard) | Magazine-page weight with a bright, glossy finish | Bulletin boards, windows and frames, where cost per poster matters most |
| 80# Gloss Cover | A light cardstock with a glossy finish, noticeably thicker and sturdier | Posters that get pinned, taped and moved more than once |
| 14PT Cardstock Gloss | Our thickest gloss option, a stiff cardstock that stays flat | Lobby and counter displays and posters you want to reuse |
| 14PT Cardstock Uncoated | Thick cardstock with a smooth, non-glare finish you can write on | Spaces with bright lights, and posters you want to write on with pen or marker |

Frequently asked questions
What sizes do your posters come in?
11" x 17" and 12" x 18". Both print in full color from edge to edge. 11" x 17" is the classic bulletin board size, and 12" x 18" gives you a little more room for photos and bigger type.
Is 12x18 a big poster?
No. 12" x 18" is a small poster, a good size for windows, lobby walls and bulletin boards where people read up close. For signs that need to be seen across a room or a parking lot, look at our vinyl banners or retractable banners.
Which paper should we choose?
100# Gloss Text is our standard paper and the most economical choice for bulletin boards, windows and frames. 80# Gloss Cover is a light cardstock that holds up better to pinning and taping. 14PT Cardstock Gloss is our thickest, stiffest option for displays and posters you want to reuse. 14PT Cardstock Uncoated is just as thick, with a non-glare finish you can write on.
Can posters be printed on both sides?
Yes. Choose front only for a poster that hangs on a wall, or front and back for window posters that are seen from inside and out, or for a poster with a different message on each side.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum is 10 posters, and you can order up to 2,500. The price per poster goes down as the quantity goes up. Choose your size, paper and quantity in the calculator above to see your exact price.
How should we set up our poster file?
Build your file at the full bleed size, 11.25" x 17.25" for an 11" x 17" poster or 12.25" x 18.25" for a 12" x 18" poster, so color runs past the trim line. Keep text at least 1/8" inside the trim edge, and use images at 350 dpi for the sharpest print. Our Artwork Guidelines walk through every step.
Do the posters ship rolled?
No. We pack every poster order flat, so your posters arrive without curl and are ready to hang or frame.
Do you check our file?
Yes. You approve a free online proof at checkout, then a real person checks your file for size, resolution and print setup before it prints. We do not proofread your text, so please check spelling, dates and times on your proof.
Can you design our posters?
Yes. Upload your own print-ready file, start from a free template, or choose "Let us Design for You" and our team will design it with your event details, logo and photos. If you want design help, the fee is added to your order.
How fast can we get them?
Choose 5-business-day, 3-business-day or next-business-day production when you order. Production time does not include shipping, so if you are ordering for an event, add UPS transit time and leave a little cushion. You can also pick up at our Highland, Indiana shop Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Up against a deadline? Email info@flyoverprint.com and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is charged at UPS rates, and UPS Ground is free on orders of $49 or more anywhere in the U.S. Need it sooner? 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air upgrades are available. Local pickup at our Highland, Indiana shop is always free.
