Whether you're a novice or a professional when it comes to artwork, we're here to give you the guidance needed to make sure your end result is print perfect.
If you have the elements, such as text, logos, and images, we can take these and create a print-ready design layout for you at a small additional cost. We have a number of affordable set price packages available to suit any requirements. Many of our products have a design service as an additional extra for instant ordering. For products that don't please contact us to discuss your brief. Visit our in-house design service page to find out more.
Many of our print products have the option to upload your artwork on the product page. If that option is not available, you will receive an email shortly after placing your order with instructions on how to send your artwork files.
In order to avoid any delays in production, please follow our guidelines below to make sure your artwork is ready to go. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch to talk to one of our team.
Resolution - 100dpi At Full Size
Generally, 100 dpi is a good standard for images with the document size set at full size of the large format printed product. For example, if you want to order a 40"×60" print, the image size should be 4000 pixels (40 x 100) by 6000 pixels (60 x 100) at 100 dpi.
100% scale at 100 dpi
50% scale at 200 dpi
25% scale at 400 dpi
10% scale at 1000 dpi
If any dimension of the product is greater than 5000mm, please produce the artwork to scale. For very large artwork such as hoarding walls, 10% scale can be utilised at 1000dpi for images, or use vectors as these will scale perfectly.
Bleed - 5mm All Around At The Final Print Size
If you are creating set size artwork for hardware then please use the product template. If you have ordered a custom size product please ensure you include 5mm of bleed on your design.
You only need to add print bleed to your artwork if the design extends to the edge of the page. If all of your text and images are in the centre of the design and are surrounded by a plain white background, you won't need to worry about print bleed as the edges will blend seamlessly into your overall design. If any element of the design goes right up to the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed on all sides is necessary.
Colours - Please Supply All Colours As CMYK+
Computer screens use RGB, while printers use CMYK. You may ask why this matters? Most colours created in RGB can be closely matched in CMYK but some cannot. If colours are critical we always suggest ordering a printed proof.
Other things you can do to check your colours:
Fonts - Please Embed, Flatten, Or Convert To Curves
For large format print, we recommend that the minimum font site is 8pt (point size).
Our preferred file format for print-ready artwork is a PDF, please make sure you embed any fonts for perfect results. With other file formats please ensure fonts used in your design are converted to outlines and include all fonts and images used when you send your files to us.
Do You Need A Proof?
If you are providing print-ready artwork, we do not provide a proof as standard, which enables us to get your print to you quicker. If you require a proof please get in touch with us to discuss. We do provide a free technical file check as standard, as outlined below.
We can provide a machine print proof for the extra cost of £25 plus delivery. This involves printing an A3 proof on the machine that will be used to produce your final print. This will give you an accurate representation of colour. If you are using our design service, we do send out a PDF proof, which is an accurate representation of content and positioning. It is not an exact indicator of the final colour due to the limitations of screens.
Quoted delivery dates for print are from approval of artwork, so please bear in mind that requesting a proof may delay the delivery date of your product.
Delivery
After you have placed your order a provisional despatch and delivery date will be sent to you via email.
Our standard delivery time for printed products is 2-5 working days after artwork has been approved for print. If you have a specific deadline, please contact us to ensure we can meet this. Please check that your artwork meets the guidelines above to prevent any delays in approval.
Free Artwork Check
Before we go to print, we will carry out a free technical check on your artwork. If there are any issues, we will contact you to let you know what needs to be changed.
Colour Matching
Our printers and media are of the highest standard and are carefully calibrated to produce vibrant, full colour prints. The process involves CMYK printing and this means it is not always possible to match Pantone colours, but they will be converted to the nearest CMYK equivalent.
If exact colour matching is critical, please send us a physical copy of other printed material, such as a letterhead or brochure, and we will check your file prior to printing. If we cannot achieve a reasonable match we will call you to discuss.
Please send any physical examples to: Discount Displays, 31-35 Wortley Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 3EB.

What are printed site hoardings made of?
Printed site hoardings can be produced in a range of materials depending on your project. Correx is ideal for short-term use, Foamex provides a smoother premium finish, and Dibond offers maximum rigidity and durability for longer-term installations. We can advise on the best option based on your site, budget and timescale.
What size can printed site hoarding panels be?
We print hoarding panels to your exact required size. Panels are usually supplied to fit standard hoarding frames, but we can also produce custom sizes to suit your site layout. Larger panels can be split into sections for easier transport, handling and fitting.
How are hoarding panels fitted?
We specialise in printing and supplying hoarding panels ready for you to install. Panels are typically fixed to timber hoarding frames using screws or other suitable fixings chosen by your site team or contractor. This keeps the process simple, fast and cost-effective.
Can I fit the hoarding panels myself?
Yes. Our service is designed around a simple “we print, you fit” approach. Your panels arrive cut to size and ready to install, making them straightforward for contractors and site teams to fix in place.
What is the print quality like?
We print in high resolution to produce sharp text, vibrant colours and strong visual impact. This helps your branding and messaging stay clear and professional, even when viewed from a distance on busy streets or active sites.
Are your inks suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. We use durable, weather-resistant inks designed for outdoor conditions, so your hoarding graphics maintain their appearance throughout the life of the project.
How durable are printed hoardings?
Our hoarding panels are designed for outdoor use and built to cope with site conditions. The lifespan will depend on the material selected, with Dibond offering the longest durability and Correx being a more cost-effective option for shorter-term use.
Can hoarding panels be reused?
Yes. Depending on the material chosen and how the panels are removed and stored, hoarding panels can often be reused for future phases or other projects. Foamex and Dibond are particularly suitable where reusability is important.
Do I need to provide artwork?
Many customers provide their own artwork. However, if you do not have artwork ready, we can help with layout and design. We also offer competitively priced design packages to create professional hoarding graphics for your project.
Do you check my artwork before printing?
Yes. We check your artwork before printing and will flag any issues that could affect the final result. This helps avoid delays and ensures the best possible print quality.
Do you print directly onto the panel surface?
Yes. We print directly onto the material surface using durable inks for a long-lasting finish. This produces clean, professional-looking panels ready for site use.
Can printed site hoardings be recycled?
Recycling options depend on the material used. Correx, Foamex and Dibond can often be recycled through specialist facilities, and we recommend checking with your local recycling provider for guidance on disposal after use.
How do I clean my hoarding panels?
You can clean panels by wiping them down with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as these may affect the printed finish.
How should I store my panels?
Store panels flat in a dry environment and avoid extremes of heat, cold or humidity. Correct storage will help keep them in good condition for reuse or later installation.
Do you offer trade pricing for large orders?
Yes. We work with contractors, developers and trade buyers and can often offer competitive pricing for bulk, repeat or multi-site orders. Please contact us for a fast quote.
Can I collect my hoarding panels?
Yes. We offer local collection from our UK print facility, which is ideal for urgent jobs where you need panels quickly without waiting for pallet delivery.
How quickly will I get my printed site hoardings?
Production time depends on our schedule, but we aim to turn work around as quickly as possible. We offer UK delivery, including pallet delivery for larger orders, and local collection for urgent jobs. If you have a tight deadline, it is always worth contacting us as we may be able to help.
