Print the Poster That Sells the Show
Concert posters print full color from $25 for a single 11" x 17", and one order runs 1 to 100 copies of the same design, in 14 sizes up to a custom 48" x 96" on 10 stocks from 10mil semi gloss paper to weatherproof polypropylene. The poster has to read from across a room and survive a week on a wall, so you pick the size for the space, the stock for the setting, and an optional laminate that shrugs off rain and thumbtacks, then upload your file and choose the speed. Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 10 reviews.
Print a glossy paper batch for the venue lobby and a weatherproof vinyl run for outdoor spots from the same design. For a poster made on vinyl from the start, see our vinyl posters. To compare the rest of the range, browse every option on online posters, or build yours from the choices below.
What Is a Concert Poster
A concert poster is a large-format promotional print for a live music show, hung in venues, in windows, and around a city to announce a band, a date, and a lineup. At 4OVER4 concert posters print full color in 14 sizes from 11" x 17" up to a custom 48" x 96", on any of 10 stocks and materials, with lamination and turnaround chosen as you order.
A concert poster sells the night before a single ticket is bought. It has to catch an eye at a glance and hold up taped to a wall for a week. You set the size for the space, pick a material that fits the setting, choose a finish, and add a proof, all in one place. If you need a bigger canvas for a stage backdrop or an entrance display, the Large Format Posters scale the same idea up.
What Size Should a Concert Poster Be
4OVER4 concert posters come in 14 sizes. The default is 11" x 17", with set options including 12" x 18", 16" x 20", and 18" x 24", and you can order a custom size all the way up to 48" x 96". That range covers everything from a handbill to a full window or wall poster.
Size sets the job. An 11" x 17" poster is the classic gig flyer, easy to tape in a coffee shop window or hand out at the merch table. Step up to 12" x 18" or 16" x 20" for a venue lobby, or 18" x 24" when the poster is the centerpiece of the announcement. When you need to own a wall or a street-facing window, the custom option runs up to 48" x 96", so one poster reads from across a parking lot.
Standard Concert Poster Sizes
| Size | What it is | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 11" x 17" | Gig poster | The club standard and the cheapest way to paper a neighborhood. Fits a standard poster frame in a venue corridor and starts at $25 for one. |
| 12" x 18" | Gig poster | A step up from 11" x 17" with the same proportions, for the merch table pile you actually want people to buy. |
| 13" x 19" | Collectible print | The screen-print and art-print size. Big enough to sign in the margin, small enough to mail without a giant tube. |
| 18" x 24" | Window bill | The largest stock size here, and the one that reads from the pavement in a record store or coffee shop window. |
| 24" x 36" | Wall piece | Tour poster scale, for a venue lobby or a bedroom wall. Ordered through the custom size option, which runs up to 48" x 96". |
| Bus stop size | Wall piece | The transit shelter format, commonly 40" x 60". Also a custom size order, and worth a weatherproof stock if it lives behind glass in the sun. |
Fourteen stock sizes run from 11" x 17" to 18" x 24". Anything bigger than that, up to 48" x 96", is a custom size on the same 10 stocks.
Poster Sizes by Where It Hangs
- Venue lobby. 18" x 24" or larger, on a paper stock. It is read at walking pace from a few feet away, so size matters more than finish.
- Record store window. 18" x 24", and pick a laminated stock if it faces the sun, because a window bill fades faster than anything else you print.
- Street pole. 11" x 17", printed cheap and printed in quantity, on weatherproof polypropylene if it has to survive a wet week outdoors.
- Merch table. 12" x 18" or 13" x 19", on a stock heavy enough to sign and to survive the trip home rolled in a bag.
- Mailed tube. 13" x 19" or 18" x 24", rolled. Order a laminate only if the buyer will hang it unframed.
What Materials and Finishes Can You Choose
4OVER4 prints concert posters on 10 stocks and materials: 10mil semi gloss and hi gloss paper, 32# bright white uncoated, semi gloss and gloss canvas, 13oz smooth blockout vinyl, permanent and removable adhesive-backed vinyl, 10 mil backlit film, and 7mil weatherproof polypropylene. Lamination runs from none to 3 mil gloss lamination on one or both sides, five choices in all.
The stock decides where a concert poster can hang. For an indoor bill, 10mil semi gloss or hi gloss paper gives a bright, photo-ready surface at a low price, and our guide to semi gloss poster paper shows how that finish looks next to hi gloss. For something that hangs longer, gloss or semi gloss canvas reads like art a fan would keep. Outdoors, the 13oz smooth blockout vinyl and 7mil weatherproof polypropylene take the weather, while adhesive-backed vinyl in permanent or removable sticks straight to a window or door. Backlit film lights up in a display box at the entrance. Then add lamination: none to keep it simple, or 3 mil gloss on one or both sides so the poster shrugs off rain, sun, and a busy wall.
Which stock for which poster
The ten stocks split cleanly by how long the poster is meant to last. For a collectible tour poster, the one people want signed and framed, print on bright white uncoated when the artwork is illustrated and matte, or on canvas when it is being sold as a piece rather than an announcement. Both take a signature without the ink beading the way it does on a gloss face.
For a disposable street bill, the one stapled to a pole and gone in ten days, print on 10mil semi gloss or hi gloss paper, or on weatherproof polypropylene when rain is the thing that ends its life. Adhesive-backed vinyl covers the case where there is nothing to staple to and the poster goes straight on a flat surface. Backlit film is the outlier, for a lightbox rather than a wall. A 3 mil gloss lamination on one side or both is what turns a paper poster into something that survives thumbtacks and weather.
How Do You Design a Concert Poster
Open a layout in our professionally built poster design templates and swap in the band name, the date, the venue and your art in the online editor. On an 11" x 17" street bill, keep the band and the date large enough to read from across the pavement, and let the support acts sit smaller.
Designing the poster in your own software? Download the blank concert poster template for your size; it is built at the real trim with the bleed and safe margin drawn in, so a band name near the edge never gets cut. For a custom size up to 48" x 96", build the file at the exact width and height you enter, then upload it.
How Much Do Concert Posters Cost
Concert posters start at $25 for a single 11" x 17" print, and you can order any quantity from 1 to 100 in one run, so a single hero poster for the venue door is cheap enough to reprint for every show. A larger size, a specialty material like canvas or backlit film, an added laminate, or a rush turnaround each move the total, and the configurator shows each change in the total before checkout. Want a price you can trust against another shop? 4OVER4's Price Match beats a real competitor quote by an extra 10% - the 110% price-match guarantee, part of our guarantees.
How Fast Can You Get Concert Posters
4OVER4 prints concert posters on a standard 2 business day turnaround, with next-day and same-day rush available. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon from the New York City plant. Set the speed by the show date: the 2 business day standard suits a date announced a week out, next-day or same-day covers a late addition to the bill, and the faster options adjust the price.
Standard production covers most announcements with room to spare, and when a date sneaks up you can move to next-day or same-day printing and ship that afternoon. You only pay the rush premium when you actually need the speed. And before anything prints, a free online proof lets you catch a typo in the date or a color that is off, so the poster that ships is the one you approved.
What Do People Use Concert Posters For
Concert posters promote live shows, tours, festivals, album releases, and club nights. Bands and venues hang them in windows and lobbies, post them around town, sell them as tour merch, and mail them to fans. The range of sizes and weatherproof materials makes one design work indoors, outdoors, and as a keepsake.
A concert poster has more jobs than announcing a date. Venues fill a lobby wall with them, promoters cover the streets around town, and bands sell signed copies at the merch table as a second line of income after the show. Print a small paper run for the venue and a durable vinyl batch for outdoor spots, all from one file. Festivals use the big custom sizes for stage banners and entrance displays. And because a great gig poster becomes a collectible, a heavier canvas or a laminated print is the version fans frame and keep long after the encore.
How Do Concert Posters Compare to the Rest of the Range
Concert posters are the value pick for a show-ready print you can run indoors or out. If you are weighing a bigger format, a heavier standard poster, or a reusable option, the chart below lines up concert posters against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. You can also open the Standard Posters or the Dry Erase Posters directly.
Wally makes the poster the whole show
A $25 print that fills a wall and sells the night.
One concert poster starts at $25, and Wally can print it on glossy paper for the lobby or weatherproof vinyl for the street. Pick a size up to 48 by 96 inch, add lamination so it survives the wall, and rush it same-day when the show is close. One design, every spot around town.

Concert Posters: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a single concert poster?
Yes. A single 11 inch by 17 inch poster starts at $25, and any quantity from 1 to 100 can be printed in one run. That means one framed piece for the venue wall or a hundred for a street run are both normal orders here.
Will a poster survive being posted outdoors?
There are weatherproof polypropylene and adhesive-backed vinyl among the 10 stocks, and 5 lamination options up to 3 mil gloss on one side or both. Those are the combinations to pick for a wall, a pole or a window that sees rain and sun. The plain paper stocks are meant for indoor posting.
How large can a concert poster be printed?
There are 14 standard sizes, from an 11 inch by 17 inch gig flyer up to 18 inch by 24 inch, plus a custom size as large as 48 inch by 96 inch. The custom range covers a venue lobby banner-scale piece behind the merch table. Build the size in the order form and the price follows it.
Do you print on backlit film for a lightbox?
Backlit film is one of the 10 stocks offered, alongside 10mil semi gloss and hi gloss paper, bright white uncoated, canvas, weatherproof polypropylene and adhesive vinyl. Backlit is the one for a venue lightbox or a box frame where the image is lit from behind. Choose it under the paper type options.
Can I see a proof before it prints?
A free online proof is offered on this product. It is worth using when type runs close to the trim or when a dark tour photo has to hold detail. You review it before the poster goes to print.
What if the show is tomorrow?
Same-day printing is available on concert posters. Order early in the day and pick the fastest turnaround in the builder, then account for how the posters get to you. A same-day print still needs a delivery or pickup plan to reach the venue in time.
Where is the best place to get music posters?
Order from a printer that takes a one-poster order and a hundred-poster run alike and matches the stock to where the poster hangs. Here a single 11" x 17" concert poster starts at $25, and 1 to 100 copies of a design print in one order. The 10 stocks include weatherproof polypropylene for a street pole and backlit film for a venue lightbox, and sizes run up to a custom 48" x 96".
