The ideal size should depend on the volume needed, the budget, the display content, etc. 1) Large bus stop or subway poster: 40” x 60” Poster (1016 x 1524 mm), ideal size for event advertising with big, bold typography and striking visuals to grab people’s attention 2) Standard movie poster: 27” x 40” Poster (686 x 1016 mm), ideal size for a two-sided poster to display in high traffic areas 3) Ideal size for large ones: 24” x 36” Poster (609.6 x 914.4 mm), standard size for advertisements and displaying illustrations, bold typography, minimalist artwork, and more 4) Ideal size for window sign posters: 16” x 20” Poster (406.4 x 508 mm), used to promote events and advertise products, on notice boards, as window signs, or for decorative purposes such as displaying a family vacation photo, artwork, and more 5) A4-size poster and ideal poster flyer size: 8.5” x 11” Poster (215.9 x 279.4 mm), best for common areas, in art galleries, and on community notice boards.

What are standard poster dimensions?

The international standard poster size follows the A series sizing model, ranging from A0 to A10. The most common and standard poster dimensions are typically A4 (8.27 x 11.69 inches). An A0 poster (33.11 x 46.81 inches) is about 1 meter squared. A0 posters become A1 size (23.39 x 33.11 inches) by folding an A0 poster in half. Following this logic, A1 folded in half creates A2 (16.54 x 23.39 inches), and so on and so forth to size A10.Because the objective of each visual is different, they come in different sizes. 40” x 60”, 27” x 40”, 24” x 36”, 18” x 24”, 16” x 20”, 11” x 17”, 8.5” x 11” (in the order of large to small) are the standard poster dimensions.
