Poster Request Form

My poster file is too big to email. What do I do?

If the poster file is too large to email, then you can use the UAB Box and set the recipient to mghurd@uab.edu and ccody@uab.edu. Be sure to send a follow up email touabposters@uab.edu to make sure that your submission was received.

How long will it take to print my poster?

Our standard turnaround time for poster printing is 2 business days. However, we also accommodate rush orders when possible. Please indicate "Rush Order" or "Bulk Order" in the subject line of your email to help us prioritize your request. The requested pickup date is used to ensure that the poster is completed and available by that date; however, orders may enter production and be printed before the requested pickup date depending on our workflow and production schedule. Revisions can be accommodated prior to printing if the order has not yet been sent to print. For that reason, we ask customers to contact us first to confirm the status of their order before submitting revised files.

Rush Printing Options

  • Same-Day Printing: Additional $20 added to the poster base price.
  • 1 Business Day Printing: Additional $15 added to the poster base price.

Bulk Orders

  • Large bulk orders (10 posters or more): Please submit requests at least 5 business days before the needed pickup date.
  • Small bulk orders (5-10 posters): Please submit requests at least 3 business days in advance.

Business Hours

Our business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Requests submitted after business hours, on weekends, or during holidays will be processed on the next business day.

Please note that all poster orders will be processed according to the pickup date indicated on the Poster Request Form.
