A4 print on demand, the everyday workhorse.
A4 (21.0 × 29.7 cm) is the most-searched poster size on Etsy and Amazon. Big enough to feel like real wall art, small enough to ship cheaply. If you sell printable art and you only stock one size, this is usually the one to start with.
A4 — 21.0 × 29.7 cm · £3.10 per print · no setup fees, no minimums.

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 A4 works.
The default Etsy listing
Most buyers searching "art print" on Etsy expect A4 as the standard option. Listing A4 first lifts conversion.
Office and study walls
A4 is the size people buy for desk-side and study walls — calm, professional, gallery-of-three groupings.
Kitchen and hallway prints
Small enough to slot above a kitchen worktop or down a narrow hallway without overwhelming the space.
270 gsm satin art paper, archival pigment ink. The paper has a soft sheen that holds detail without being glossy. Same stock as every other size in our catalogue.
Frames are easy — every framer carries A4. We ship flat in a mailer or rolled in a tube; flat tends to look better when the buyer opens it.
Common A4 questions.
Why is A4 so popular for sellers?
It's the size most buyers default to when searching. The retail price point sits in the impulse-buy range (£10–£25), and shipping stays cheap because it's small.
Will A4 work for a detailed illustration?
Yes. 270 gsm satin renders fine detail well at A4. We'll warn you at upload if your file resolution falls below 250 DPI for this size.
