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:

Scale Long Side to 36"

* Scaling, when applied, 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)
