Sizing Specifications

You should already know your poster file's dimensions (height and width) before selecting one of the scaling options below. The largest poster we can print is 42" x 708". Refer to Our Maximum Printable Dimensions section for more detailed information. If you have questions, contact posters@abraxas.wustl.edu before submitting a poster order.

Scaling Desired:

Same as File's Dimensions

Scale Short Side to 36" (*Results in no margin)

Scale Short Side to 42" (*Results in no margin)

Scale Long Side to 36" (*Results in no margin)

Scale Long Side to 42" (*Results in no margin)

* Results in no additional margin other than the printer's default margin found on all posters. Scaling is applied proportionally to the entire poster.

Unsure of sizing with scaling? Use our Scaling Calculator.

Printing with Margins

Printed posters where one dimension is not either 36" or 42" will result in a margin. When possible, we put the margin below the bottom dimension (as if it were hanging for presentation). Sometimes, typically with vertical/portrait posters, this is not possible and the margin will end up on either the right or left side of the poster. Please answer the question below on how you want the margin to appear should this happen. Per our FAQ, we do not trim posters.

If my posters ends up with a margin on the left/right side, please:

Split the margin in half and center the poster

Place the margin on one side (typically the right)
