Wheatpaste Poster Printing

Wheatpaste posters are popular among street artists, concert promoters and graffiti artists. These posters are a familiar sight on city walls. They get their name from the fact that they’re stuck onto walls with a paste made from wheat flour and water. Wheatpaste posters will stick anywhere, even on the roughest surfaces. Because they’re light, inexpensive and easy to put up, they’re ideal for wild posting. Support a political campaign, express a community message, or decorate your walls with these colorful posters.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
