Posters - Rolled or folded? What's your preference?

[Matrix6]

I prefer mine rolled as the creases on the folded ones ruin it for me it you want to frame them or just laminate them for display.

What are the typical dimensions for the sizes of S, M & L??

I'm afraid I don't know the exact sizes used in the industry, but I personally consider:

A4 = Extra small
A4x2 = Small (standard poster size)
A4x4 = Medium
A4x8 = Large
Anything bigger than that = XL, XXL, billboard. Lol.


For example, I believe the Dead Island: Treasure Edition poster is A4x8 size (don't quote me!), whereas standard posters you'd usually receive as pre-order incentives are typically A4x4 size. The latter is also the generic size for rolled posters you'd buy from a poster display rack in a store like HMV

Cinema posters typically tend to be the XL or maybe XXL size on my scale above. Anything larger than that would be the size of a house!
