Until the 1980s, most theatrical posters were folded by the studio before being sent to cinemas, so fold lines are normal on vintage posters. Rolled posters were never folded. Linen-backed posters have been professionally mounted and flattened, and always ship rolled. Use the By type menu to shop each one.

The exact size is in every listing. Common formats, approximately:

• US one sheet: 27 × 41 in
• US half sheet: 22 × 28 in · Insert: 14 × 36 in
• UK quad: 30 × 40 in
• Italian 2-foglio: 39 × 55 in · 4-foglio: 55 × 79 in
• French grande: 47 × 63 in
• Japanese B2: 20 × 29 in · Chirashi (B5): 7 × 10 in
• Lobby card: 11 × 14 in

A chirashi (チラシ) is a Japanese B5 flyer, about 7 × 10 in, handed out in cinemas to promote upcoming films. They often feature artwork unique to the Japanese release, and they're one of the most affordable ways to start a horror wall.

Lobby cards are 11 × 14 in cards, usually printed in sets of eight, that cinemas displayed in the lobby to show scenes from the film. We sell single cards and sets.

It's the archival way to preserve and display a poster. The poster is mounted onto acid-free tissue and canvas with a reversible wheat-starch paste, which flattens folds, stabilises the paper and makes it ready to frame. Learn more about our linen backing.
