TITLE : 'Proper' posters
AUTHOR : egg_ and billygannon

Posters on building site hoardings and the like around Dublin are looked after by IPA (Irish Poster Advertising). There's no real agreement on whether paying for this sort of thing does you any good - it certainly gets your name 'out there' more prominently than photocopied posters in record shops, but whether it actually gets more people to your gigs is impossible to tell ... also you don't get any say where your posters go, so sometimes (especially if your unknown) they'll end up out in the Coombe or someplace where only commuters will see them.


Here's some costing information - it is a bit old, but it'll give you some idea of what's what:

Irish Poster Advertising Ltd.
01-6797700
30 inches x 40 inches (half size poster)
€3.80 per poster per week ex.VAT
(So twenty would cost €91.96 incl VAT)


Full size is €7.60


They need paper for outdoor posting and is glue-backed and wet-rolled.

They suggest Screenlink for the printing of posters
Their number is 01-8364911 They do a minimum of 50 posters per run. Have a link-up with IPA.
50 x 1 colour (on white) for €130.

Just wondering if the poster design is to be 30x40/40x30 or can you create it at a smaller scale and have them print it at the select measurements?

is there anything else thats important..bleed or stuff like that relevant?

generally billboards we design are in quarter size so a 30x40" (quad crown) would be designed 10 inches wide by 7.5 inches high and then blown up from that on the camera.

Hey
I'm not looking for stuff printed at the moment, but just wondering do you have a general price list for all the services/printing that you offer?
Thanks.

there's so many variables in print that it's hard to do a standardised list, send me your e-mail (Mine's [email protected])) and I can give you the prices on what's asked for most often by music folk.
