FAQ - Blue back paper: strength and impact for your large-format poster campaigns
What is blue back paper?
Blue-backed paper is a printing medium specially designed for large-format poster campaigns. Its main feature is a blue-coloured reverse side, which provides extra opacity. This feature prevents any undesirable transparency, particularly when posters are placed on bright or translucent surfaces. This paper is appreciated for its robustness and its ability to deliver a crisp, high-impact image, even in urban environments where visibility is essential.
At EG Print, we use advanced digital printing technologies to guarantee optimum image quality on this type of paper. The colours remain faithful and the paper effectively withstands the harsh conditions associated with outdoor advertising.
What are the applications for blue-backed paper?
Blueback paper is ideal for large-format advertising campaigns requiring maximum visibility and durability. It is frequently used to decorate street signs, shop windows or temporary walls for cultural or promotional events. Its ability to block light makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, offering excellent legibility and long-lasting durability.
Thanks to its strength and finish, this paper is the preferred solution for displays in urban environments where climatic and visual constraints are significant.
