12 × 18 inch poster printing

12 × 18 inch prints, tall-portrait.

12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm) is a popular US poster proportion — taller and narrower than 11 × 14 or 16 × 20. The 2:3 ratio matches phone photos and most digital camera output, so photo-prints look right without cropping.

Product details & specifications

Paper

Museum-quality 270 gsm satin art paper with a soft sheen. Heavy enough to feel substantial when handled, archival enough to last decades without yellowing or fading. The same paper used on every size in our catalogue.

Inks & press

Pigment-printed on a 12-colour press for exceptional colour range and archival permanence. Pigment ink (not dye) means colours hold their depth for 60+ years under normal indoor display conditions.

Packaging

Sizes A4 and larger ship rolled in plain unmarked tubes. A5 and smaller ship flat in stiffened mailers. Every order goes out unbranded — no Zela Print logos, no packing slips, no invoices. The customer only sees your brand.

Dispatch & shipping

Most orders dispatched within 48 working hours. UK arrives 1–3 working days, EU 3–6, rest of world 5–10. Every parcel is tracked end-to-end — the tracking number goes back to you so you can update your customer in your own voice.

Order minimums

None. Order one print or a hundred — same care, same standard, same paper. No setup fees, no contracts, no quotas.

File requirements

JPG, PNG, TIFF, or PDF up to 100 MB. Aim for 300 DPI at your chosen size — for example, 3508 × 4961 pixels for A3 or 7200 × 10800 for 24×36 inch. The configurator checks your file at upload and warns if resolution is too low to print sharp.

Damage & reprint guarantee

Every order is covered by the Zela Print guarantee. If a print arrives damaged in transit, or faded, or with a colour defect, send a photo within 21 days and we reprint and re-ship free of charge — direct to your customer.

Where 12X18 works.

  • Photography prints

    The 2:3 aspect ratio matches most modern cameras and phones. Photo sellers default to this size to avoid awkward crops.

  • Movie and travel posters

    The narrower silhouette suits cinema-style typography and skyline photography.

  • Portrait commissions

    Pet portraits, family photo prints, and commissioned illustration work — the proportions feel cinematic.

Paper

270 gsm satin art paper, archival pigment ink.

Framing & mounting

Less common frame size than 11 × 14 or 16 × 20. Buyers often go custom-framed or use a recessed mount. Ships rolled in a tube.

Common 12X18 questions.

Why pick 12 × 18 over 11 × 14?

For photo prints — the 2:3 aspect ratio matches your source file, so no detail gets cropped.

Is 12 × 18 the right size for movie posters?

It's a good mid-tier option. The traditional cinema "one-sheet" is 24 × 36, but 12 × 18 hits a more reasonable home-decor price point.
