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 A1 works.
Movie and event posters
A1 is the standard cinema poster size — buyers searching "movie poster A1" on Etsy expect this exact dimension.
Statement gallery walls
Hung at eye level, A1 dominates a wall without filling it. Pairs well with smaller flanking prints.
Studio backdrop and commercial
Sellers who do commissions for hospitality and offices often spec A1 as the default for big-space installs.
270 gsm satin art paper. At A1 the weight starts to matter for shipping — heavier paper resists creasing in transit but adds to the parcel weight band.
A1 frames are usually custom-made — high-street frame shops carry A2 down. Most A1 buyers either go custom-framed or hang unframed with magnetic poster rails. Always ships rolled in a tube.
Common A1 questions.
Is A1 too big for most homes?
Not for the right wall. The right wall is usually a hallway, a living-room feature wall, or above a bed. Buyers know what they're getting — A1 listings convert lower than smaller sizes but have a much higher average price.
What's the file resolution I need for A1?
Ideally 7016 × 9933 pixels (300 DPI). We can print from lower DPI but at A1 anything under 200 DPI starts to look soft.
