Need poster printing in Singapore that delivers fast, looks professional, and actually gets noticed? You're in the right place.
Whether you're preparing for an exhibition at Singapore Expo, launching a retail campaign, or setting up a corporate event, this guide shows you exactly how to choose poster sizes, materials, and—most importantly—display systems that actually work.
Here's what most businesses get wrong: They spend money on beautiful poster printing, then ruin the whole thing with cheap displays that curl, sag, or get ignored. We'll show you how to avoid that expensive mistake.
Why Digital Poster Printing Works for Singapore Businesses
Speed matters. That's why digital printing dominates the Singapore market.
Traditional offset printing requires expensive plate setup and takes 7-10 days minimum. Digital printing? You can have finished posters in 24-48 hours—sometimes even same-day for urgent jobs.
This flexibility means you can:
-
Launch weekend flash sales announced Friday afternoon
-
Update event posters when speakers change last-minute
-
Test different messages across multiple retail locations
-
Print exactly what you need without minimum order requirements
-
Personalize posters for different venues or audiences
For Singapore's fast-moving retail and events industry, digital printing isn't just convenient—it's essential.
Your Poster Printing Options Explained
Non-Mounted Posters: Maximum Flexibility
These are your basic printed posters on quality paper—no backing, no mounting. Just pure printing.
When they work best:
-
You're framing them yourself
-
Shipping to multiple locations
-
One-time campaigns or events
-
Working within tight budgets
Current pricing:
-
A4: $4 (minimum 3 pieces)
-
A3: $7
-
A2: $15
-
A1: $30
-
A0: $55
Simple, affordable, and perfect when you know exactly what you're doing with them afterward. Browse all poster printing options to see what fits your needs.
Pro tip: Non-mounted posters work great when you already have frames, display boards, or mounting systems ready to go.
Foamboard Posters: Professional Without the Weight
Here's where things get interesting. Foamboard posters solve the biggest problem with paper prints: they stay flat, look professional, and don't curl in Singapore's humid climate.
The magic? Your poster gets printed directly onto lightweight foam backing—usually 5mm thick. Rigid enough to stand upright, light enough to carry with one hand.
Perfect for:
-
Trade show backdrops
-
Retail point-of-sale displays
-
Event signage and directional signs
-
Product launches and photo walls
-
Professional presentations
Why professionals choose foamboard:
✓ Zero curling or warping (even in air-conditioned venues)
✓ Lightweight yet completely rigid
✓ Ready to display immediately—no frame needed
✓ Works with easels, stands, or direct mounting
✓ Maintains shape through multiple events
Pricing starts from $5 for A4 size, with all standard sizes available up to A0.

Foam Standees: Life-Size Brand Presence
Want real stopping power? Foam standees are custom-cut, life-size displays that literally stop people in their tracks.
These are those eye-catching cutouts you see at movie theaters, fast-food restaurants, and high-traffic retail areas—full-size characters, products, or promotional figures.
Popular uses:
-
Movie premieres and entertainment promotions
-
Restaurant menu launches
-
Brand mascot displays
-
Conference photo opportunities
-
Celebrity endorsement displays
Starting at $120, standees include custom die-cutting and foldable aluminum easel backing for instant setup.
Learn more about creative applications in our die-cut foam board printing guide.
Here's the Truth About Display Systems
Let's be honest: A beautiful poster badly displayed is money wasted.
You can print the most stunning A1 poster with perfect colors and crisp graphics. But if it's:
-
Lying flat on a registration table
-
Taped to a wall with masking tape
-
Leaning against a booth wall at an odd angle
-
Mounted on a flimsy stand that wobbles
-
Curling at the edges from humidity
...then you've just thrown money away.
Professional exhibitors know this. That's why they invest in proper display systems that position posters at eye level, keep them taut and wrinkle-free, and communicate authority through polished presentation.
Pull Up Banners: The Exhibition Standard
Walk into any professional event in Singapore—FinTech Festival, Singapore Airshow, ITB Asia—and you'll see pull up banners everywhere.
Why? Because they solve every major display problem:
What you get:
-
Retractable graphic that deploys in under 60 seconds
-
Weighted aluminum base for rock-solid stability
-
Portable carry case for transport between venues
-
Professional eye-level presentation
-
Reusable hardware (swap graphics between campaigns)
Industry-standard pricing:
-
Budget Series: $95 (85cm × 200cm—most popular size)
-
Premium Series: $110
-
Deluxe Series: $180
Every pull up banner includes professional printing with lamination, stand mechanism, carry bag, and free Singapore-wide delivery.
Shop the complete range of pull up banner stands or learn why pull up banners are essential for events.
Real talk: Pull up banners aren't just "nice to have"—they're the baseline standard for professional exhibition presence in Singapore. Show up without them, and you look like an amateur next to competitors who do.

Floor level: Foam standees, product samples, interactive elements
Supporting: Brochure holders, acrylic frames with testimonials
This layered approach creates visual depth and guides visitor attention through your key messages systematically.
