Print a shop-window poster for a sale or opening-hours notice

A window poster competes with reflections, window frames and the view into the shop. A short message placed well can be more useful than a large sheet full of details. Decide what someone outside needs to know first: that you are open, when an event happens, or what they should come inside to see.

The best test is through the actual glass. Print the headline before the full poster so you can check contrast and placement without committing to all the sheets.

Choose the one message a passerby needs

Use a short headline and one next action: visit, check dates or read opening hours. Include only confirmed details. Design the message in Create a poster or upload a finished image, keeping the original large enough for sharp type.

Measure the usable window area

Avoid covering the whole view into the shop. Set an exact width and check the linked height. Use strong contrast and place the headline where it will not be hidden by frames, shelves or reflected light.

Check through the glass before final mounting

Print a headline tile and view it from outside. Check glare, orientation and readability before completing the poster. Assemble on a flat surface; use removable mounting appropriate for the glass and save the PDF for replacement sheets.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit opening hours in the exported PDF?

The tiles are raster images. Edit the source design and export again when details change.

Can I print it double-sided?

The maker prepares single-sided poster tiles. Prepare separate complete faces if needed and test whether the paper is opaque enough.
