How It Works
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Supplying RGB files for print
Screens display RGB colour; printing uses CMYK. RGB-to-CMYK conversion shifts colours significantly — especially purples, oranges, and vibrant greens. Always convert to CMYK in your design application before export.
No bleed and crop marks on supplied files
Without 3mm bleed, cut edges show white paper stock after trimming. All print files must include 3mm bleed beyond the finished page size and crop marks set to 5mm offset.
Using Pantone colours without specifying
If your brand uses a specific Pantone colour (like a corporate red), specify the Pantone code at order stage. Without this, we print CMYK equivalent which may not match your brand standard.
Ordering the wrong paper weight
130gsm feels flimsy for a premium brochure; 250gsm is unnecessarily heavy for a disposable flyer. Standard recommendation: 170–200gsm for brochures, 350–400gsm for business cards, 130–150gsm for flyers.
Ignoring UAE Arabic text requirements
Arabic text must read right-to-left and requires native-speaker proofing. Automated translation tools produce grammatically incorrect Arabic. Always have a qualified Arabic speaker review before print approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does poster printing cost in Dubai?
A1 posters on 170gsm gloss stock cost roughly AED 8–20 per unit for quantities of 25–100. A0 posters are AED 15–35 each in the same range. Single-copy digital poster printing for urgent use is also available.
How long does poster printing take in UAE?
Single and small-batch posters can be produced same-day for urgent needs. Standard quantities of 25–500 are ready in 2 business days.

What is the difference between gloss and matte poster print?
Gloss posters have a shiny finish that makes colours appear vivid and bold — popular for retail POS and events. Matte posters have a flat, non-reflective finish that looks more refined and is better under artificial lighting where glare is an issue.
