Insole board (also known as display board) is a thick, rigid material used for freestanding signage.

It is:

  • Lightweight

  • Strong and durable

  • Smooth surface for vibrant print

  • Easy to place on an easel

  • Professional in appearance

It is perfect for entrance welcome signs and event display boards.

GSM Concerns – Will It Stand Properly?

One of the most common questions customers ask is:

“What GSM should I choose so the sign stands properly?”

Important clarification:

GSM applies to paper thickness, but welcome signs are typically mounted on rigid board, not just paper.

If you print on ordinary paper only:

  • Even 350 GSM paper will not stand alone

  • Paper alone will bend or curl

That’s why we recommend:

  • Printing and mounting onto insole board

  • Or printing directly onto rigid board

This ensures your sign stands securely on an easel or display stand.

Paper Options Before Mounting

If you are mounting your sign into a frame, we offer:

250–300 GSM Matte Paper

  • Smooth professional finish

  • Elegant for weddings

  • Non-reflective

Gloss Paper

  • Vibrant colours

  • Great for birthday themes

  • Eye-catching designs

For best results, mounting onto insole board is highly recommended for entrance display.

Setting up your welcome sign artwork correctly ensures sharp printing, clean trimming, and a professional event-ready finish. Whether you’re printing an A1 wedding welcome board or an A2 birthday entrance sign, proper file preparation avoids delays and guarantees perfect results.

1. Correct File Format

Please submit your artwork as:

  • PDF to Print

  • High resolution

  • Correct final size

  • Flattened file (FLAT)

PDF format protects fonts, layout, and spacing so your design prints exactly as intended.

IMPORTANT – Your PDF Must Be FLAT

Your file must be a flattened PDF.

A flat PDF means:

  • No editable layers

  • No transparency effects

  • No hidden elements

  • All fonts embedded or outlined

This prevents shifting text, printing errors, and alignment issues.

Canva Users – How to Export Properly

If you designed your welcome sign in Canva:

  1. Click Download

  2. Select PDF Print

  3. Tick “Flatten PDF”

  4. Download and send

This ensures your A1 or A2 welcome sign prints perfectly.

2. Designing at the Correct Size

Always design at the exact final size.

A2 Size:

420 × 594 mm

A1 Size:

594 × 841 mm

Do not scale artwork up later, as this reduces image quality.

3. Bleed Setup

If your design includes:

  • Full background colour

  • Edge-to-edge floral designs

  • Borders

  • Pattern backgrounds

You must add bleed.

Standard Bleed:

3 mm on all sides

Example:

A1 size: 594 × 841 mm
With bleed: 600 × 847 mm

This prevents unwanted white edges after trimming.

4. Safe Margins

Keep important elements safely positioned away from edges.

Recommended safe margin:

  • At least 10–15 mm inside the trim edge

Do not place close to the edge:

  • Names

  • Event date

  • Venue details

  • Welcome messages

  • Logos

This ensures clean presentation after trimming and mounting.

5. Image Resolution (DPI)

For large format signs, correct resolution is essential.

Recommended:

  • 300 DPI (best quality)

  • Minimum 150 DPI (acceptable for large designs)

Low-resolution images may appear blurry, especially on A1 size boards.

6. Colour Mode

For accurate printing:

  • Use CMYK colour mode

  • Avoid bright RGB-only colours

  • Expect slight screen-to-print colour variation

Our professional printers at Print Prime are calibrated for vibrant, consistent colour output.

Final Artwork Checklist

Before sending your file:

  • PDF Print format

  • File is FLAT

  • Correct A1 or A2 size

  • 3 mm bleed added

  • Safe margins applied

  • 300 DPI resolution

  • CMYK colour mode

Print Prime checks every welcome sign file before production to ensure perfect printing.
