11x17 Poster Printing

Yes — all three of our cardstock options are archival, acid-free papers printed with HP Indigo ElectroInk. Independent testing rates these prints to last up to 200 years in dark storage and up to 54 years on indoor display.

Yes — 11×17 (also called tabloid size) is a standard frame size in the United States. Buyers can find 11×17 frames at most home goods stores, craft shops, and online retailers, which makes 11×17 a popular size for online sales where buyers want to frame their purchase themselves.

Matte Card has a smooth, uncoated surface that's ideal for most artwork — clean and refined without distracting texture. Textured Matte has a felted, fine-art-paper character that adds tactile depth — particularly good for watercolor reproductions, hand-illustrated work, or designs that benefit from the look of premium fine art paper. If you want your print to feel like traditional fine art paper, choose Textured Matte. If you want a clean professional look, choose Matte.

Metallic and pearl finishes are available for special editions and collectible prints. These specialty finishes have unique characteristics that work especially well for limited-run releases. Contact us at contact@printkeg.com before ordering to discuss specialty finish availability, pricing, and turnaround.

Yes — 11×17 posters and art prints qualify for our multiple file policy. You can upload up to five unique designs per quantity for a small fee while still taking advantage of bulk pricing. For example, select a quantity of 100 and print 20 of five different designs. Specify the number of files in the "How Many Designs?" field when placing your order.

11×17 sits in the middle of our poster and art print lineup. Smaller sizes like 8×10 and 11×14 are more popular for high-volume convention sales because of the lower price point and easier transport. 11×17 offers more visual impact and is particularly popular for limited edition releases, framed wall art, and gallery exhibition pieces. Larger sizes (16×20+) shift more toward statement wall art and gallery installations.

Supply artwork at 300 DPI at the full 11×17 size for the sharpest reproduction. Lower-resolution files can print soft or pixelated, especially on fine detail and text. If you're enlarging a smaller file, our team will review it before printing and flag any quality concerns before your order moves forward.

For full-bleed prints — where color or imagery runs to the edge — extend your design 0.125" past all four edges and keep important elements at least 0.25" inside the trim line. If your design has a white border, bleed isn't required. When in doubt, send your file and our pre-production review will catch any issues.

11×17 posters and prints typically ship flat in protective packaging to ensure they arrive without bends or creases. For very large quantities or special requests, contact us before ordering to discuss alternate shipping options.

Yes — every order ships with free blind shipping. There's no Printkeg branding, no invoices, and no marketing inserts in the package, so prints arrive resale-ready whether you're shipping to a buyer, a gallery, or a retail partner.
