Sizes & framing
Three sizes, all built for standard frames.
Every poster comes as one print-ready PDF in three frame-ready sizes. At 50 × 70 cm the figure prints at true life-size; A2 and A3 keep the exact same composition, scaled to fit. Here are the numbers and the frames that fit them.
The three sizes
Dimensions and frames, side by side.
| Size | Centimetres | Inches | Frame that fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 × 70 cm Life-size | 50 × 70 cm | 19.7 × 27.6 in | Standard 50 × 70 cm frame (IKEA Ribba, Hovsta and most poster frames) |
| A2 Large | 42.0 × 59.4 cm | 16.5 × 23.4 in | Standard A2 frame |
| A3 Compact | 29.7 × 42.0 cm | 11.7 × 16.5 in | Standard A3 frame |
- 50 × 70 cm
- The figure prints at true 1:1. The size to choose if you can.
- A2
- A statement piece that still fills a wall; figure scaled just under life-size.
- A3
- Fits a nursery shelf or gallery wall; same composition, scaled to fit.
Printing it well
Home printer or print lab.
The file is the same either way — what changes is the surface and the seam. A few notes to get a clean result.
- Resolution
- The PDF is high-resolution and sized exactly to your poster — crisp text and fine lines, made for wall art viewed at arm’s length and beyond.
- At home
- A3 prints on many home photo printers; for larger sizes, home printers tile across A4 sheets, which works but shows seams.
- At a lab
- For the full 50 × 70 or A2, a local print shop or online lab gives the cleanest single-sheet result — usually a few dollars.
- Margins
- Each file carries crop-safe margins, so nothing important sits near the trim edge when a lab cuts to size.
- Bleed
- Ask the lab to “print to size, no scaling” (100%). That keeps the 1:1 length exact and the framing centred.
A note on paper
Matte, heavy, uncoated.
For a poster you’ll keep, ask for a heavyweight uncoated or matte stock — roughly 200 gsm or more. It holds the warm paper tone of the design, keeps the ink lines sharp, and sits flat in a frame without the glare a glossy finish throws under nursery lights.
Glossy photo paper works in a pinch, but it shifts the colour cooler and reflects every lamp. If your lab offers a “fine art” or “giclée” matte, that’s the one.
