Print a Square Poster People Stop to Read
You give us two numbers, the finished width and height, and one material, and we print the poster in-house to that spec. Set both numbers to the same value and you get a true square; pick one of the presets and you get a standard poster shape. Customers hang these as wall art, stick them in storefront windows and mount them at events. One 11 by 17 inch print starts at $25, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 14 reviews.
The same order form covers six kinds of job: photo paper for a framed print, canvas for art, stick-on vinyl for a window, blockout vinyl for a print that hangs in the open, backlit film for a lightbox and polypropylene for outdoors.

What Are Square Posters
Square posters are large-format prints made to your finished size, from 11 by 17 inch up to a custom 48 by 96 inch, printed full color on any of 10 materials. The presets are rectangles; the square comes from the custom size field, where you type the same number for width and height. Customers order them for retail windows, trade-show walls, framed art, lightboxes and outdoor notices.
You choose the size, the material, the lamination, and the turnaround, and 4OVER4 prints the whole thing in-house. If you want a roomier version of the same idea, the Large Format Posters go bigger, and the writable Dry Erase Posters are another way to put a poster to work.
What Size Should a Square Poster Be
4OVER4 square posters come in 14 set sizes, starting at 11 by 17 inch and stepping up through 12 by 18, 16 by 20, and 18 by 24 inch, with more presets in between. You can also set a custom size at any dimension up to a maximum of 48 by 96 inch, so the poster prints square or rectangular to fit the wall.
Pick the size by the distance your reader stands from it. An 11 by 17 inch print suits a countertop or a tight wall, and 16 by 20 or 18 by 24 inch suits a display people read from a few feet back. If none of the 14 presets is exactly right, set a custom size up to 48 by 96 inch, which is where you go for a true square or an oversized statement piece. All 14 sizes and both proof options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Can You Print Square Posters On
A square print on a wall reads as a finished piece, so the surface shows more than it does on a flyer. Your 10 choices split into four paper and canvas faces (10mil semi gloss, 10mil hi gloss, 32# bright white uncoated, semi gloss or gloss canvas), three vinyls (13oz smooth blockout, and white adhesive-backed in a permanent or a removable grade), 10 mil backlit film and 7mil weatherproof polypropylene. On top of that sit up to five lamination options, from none to single and double sided 3 mil gloss.
The material decides where the poster can hang. Semi gloss and hi gloss paper give you a sharp photo print for indoor walls. Canvas turns a poster into framable art with a woven texture. Adhesive-backed vinyl sticks straight to a window or wall and peels clean when it is the removable version. Blockout vinyl blocks light so a double-sided hanging print shows no bleed-through, backlit film is built to glow evenly in a lightbox, and the 7mil weatherproof polypropylene holds up outdoors in sun and rain. Add a 3 mil gloss lamination, on one side or both, when the print needs to survive handling.
Match the material to the room
Indoors on a wall, semi gloss paper or canvas reads best. In a window, reach for adhesive vinyl. In a lightbox, only backlit film glows evenly. Outdoors, the weatherproof polypropylene is the one that survives. Pick where the poster will hang first, then the material almost chooses itself.
Design it without a designer
A square layout has no long side to run a headline along, so center one image and keep the copy to a short line above or below it. Pick a layout from our poster design templates, set the canvas to your square size, and swap in your own colors, copy and photo in the online editor.
How Much Do Square Posters Cost
Square posters start at $25 for one 11 by 17 inch poster. Two things move the price from there: the finished size and the material. A bigger print uses more material, and canvas or backlit film costs more than semi gloss paper.
You can order anywhere from 1 to 100 posters in one run, and the configurator prices every combination live before checkout, so a size and material change shows its real cost the moment you make it.

Choose square posters when you need a custom size or one of the specialty materials. If you are also looking at a bigger format, a standard paper poster or a writable surface, the chart below puts the starting price of each next to this one.
Wally sizes the poster to the wall, not the other way around
Why a $25 square poster earns a spot people actually stop to read.
A single 11 by 17 inch square poster starts at $25, and you can size it all the way up to 48 by 96 inch on canvas, vinyl, backlit film, or weatherproof stock. Pick where it will hang, pick the material to match, and Wally prints it in New York, as fast as same-day.

Square Poster Sizes and the Custom Setting
Fourteen sizes run on this product, and only the custom setting gives you a true square, so it is worth seeing the presets and the custom range side by side before you pick one.
| Size | Shape | Where it works |
|---|---|---|
| 11" x 17" | Rectangular, the default | A countertop or a tight wall, read from close up |
| 12" x 18" | Rectangular | The same wall when the copy needs more room |
| 16" x 20" | Rectangular | A display people read from a few feet back |
| 18" x 24" | Rectangular | A room that has to take it in at a glance |
| Custom, up to 48" x 96" | Square when both dimensions match | A true square, or an oversized statement piece |
Set both numbers the same in the custom field and the poster prints square. Every preset and the custom range price live as you change them, so a size change shows its real cost the moment you make it.
Square Posters: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a true square poster?
The 14 stock sizes run from 11" x 17" up to 18" x 24", so for an exact square you use the custom size option, which is made to order at any dimension up to 48" x 96". Enter the same number for width and height at that step. Build your artwork at that square dimension before uploading so nothing gets cropped.
What is the minimum order?
You can print any quantity from 1 to 100 in a single run, so one poster is a valid order. A single 11" x 17" print starts at $25. Ordering more of the same design in one run is more efficient than placing separate orders.
Which material should I choose for a storefront window?
Stick-on window vinyl is the material made for glass, since it mounts directly to the pane with no frame or tape. Blockout vinyl is the pick for a hanging poster where light comes from behind and you do not want show-through. For a lightbox, backlit film is the one that glows evenly when lit from the rear.
Can a square poster be hung outdoors?
Weatherproof polypropylene is the outdoor material in the list of 10, so choose that stock if the poster will face rain or damp. The paper stocks and canvas options are meant for indoor walls, windows and events. Pick the material by where the poster will actually live, not by the artwork.
Can I get posters the same day?
Same-day rush is available, with next-day in between and a 2 business day standard turnaround. Everything is printed in New York. Rush covers production only, so factor in how the poster gets to you after it comes off the press.
Can I print a poster as wall art rather than a sign?
Yes, and canvas is on the material list for exactly that, in semi gloss and gloss, so a square poster can be framed as art instead of taped up as signage. For a piece that hangs on an office wall, a canvas or an uncoated paper reads better than a hi gloss sheet under downlights. The 4.8 out of 5 rating across 14 reviews covers the product as a whole.
Can a square poster be laminated?
Yes. Up to five lamination options run on this product, from none through to a 3 mil gloss laminate on one side or both. Add it when the print has to survive handling, a window people touch, or a poster that goes up and comes down more than once. A bare paper poster is fine on a wall nobody reaches.
Can a square poster hang in the open and print on both sides?
That is what the 13oz smooth blockout vinyl is for. It blocks light through the back, so a double-sided hanging print shows no bleed-through from the other face. On paper hung in a window or under a light, the reverse side shows through. Pick blockout vinyl whenever both faces have to read cleanly.
