Printed in the USA. Shipped from the USA.

Once you've approved your design, we send the file to whichever of our print partner Gelato's print shops is closest to you — usually in the USA. That's where your poster is printed, just the one, just for you, and shipped the short distance to you.

The file travels. Not the poster.

Printed in the USA

Your poster is usually printed in the USA. If that print shop is busy, one nearby takes over.

You ♥ · printed in the USA One factory far away · a longer journey

Your poster is usually printed in the USA. If that print shop is busy, one nearby takes over. From one central factory far away, every poster would travel much further — with more transport and more CO₂.

How your poster is printed

1
You approve the design

We only print once you've said yes to the design by email.
2
The file is prepared in 400 dpi

The design is upscaled so it stays sharp in exactly the size you chose.
3
It goes to the print shop nearest you

The file is sent digitally to whichever Gelato print shop is closest to your address.
4
Printed to order

Only your poster is printed — on heavy matte paper, to Gelato's standards for color and quality.
5
Shipped to you

Your poster is packed and shipped from close by. It is delivered by your local mail carrier or to a pickup location, with free shipping.

Why we do it this way

Less CO₂

Less transport

when the way to you is short

Your poster doesn't have to be flown or shipped halfway around the world.

A shorter journey

The file travels

— not the poster

We send the file digitally. So the physical journey is short: from the print shop nearest you, to you.

No waste

Only yours

gets printed — once you've said yes

400 dpi

So sharp you can count the eyelashes

Before your poster is printed, we upscale it to 400 dpi. That means 400 tiny dots of color for every inch — so close together that the eye can't tell them apart. That's why lines, lace and single hairs stay sharp, even on a large poster and up close. We do this for every single poster.
