Order Processing

  • If you would like to use a template for you poster(s), you can download a standard template using the link provided below.  Add your content to the poster template and customize the poster design as desired.
  • As you work on designing your poster, please keep in mind that the Geography Department cannot print posters wider than 36″ (at least one poster dimension must be 36″ or less). Unless you have a specific reason for printing your poster at a non-standard size (e.g. conference poster regulations require that posters be 24″ x 32″), it is recommended that you maintain the standard poster size which is already configured in the above templates. Remember to delete or replace all of the instructional text found in the template with your own material prior to submitting the poster.
  • Orders of fewer than 5 posters must be submitted at least 5 business days in advance of the requested pick up date.  Large orders of 6 or more posters must be submitted at least 7 business days in advance of the requested pick up date.
  • Once you have been notified that your poster has been printed, you can pick it up from the Geography department office (LA1-125) between 9:00am and 4:00pm, Monday – Thursday.  Please email Ms. Leanne Johnson to schedule a pickup time.
Payment Methods
 
If you are a faculty member, staff member, or student who will be paying for the order with personal funds:
