Full sized cardboard cut out figure

[marts_uk]

I've been asked to photograph an actor in costume, for it to be used as a full sized cardboard cut-out.

My question, is where on earth do I get the thing printed, at a decent quality? I've tried googling, but only seem to get these novelty sites (some do custom, but am unsure of the quality)!

anyone?

thanks

Snappy Snaps? Or anywhere with a large format printer. 24" wide is enough to get my shoulders in and I'm not small! Might not be cheap but I presume the cost is to be borne by the customer.

Thanks John, will give them a look. Yes, the cost of the cardboard will be paid in full by the customer.

Any large-format printer will do it mounted on board, if you don't mind cutting the outline yourself afterwards...

I'm going to have to change my profile so I don't keep being called John!!!

P.S. Hope the bruising etc is healing.

Yeah getting there still a bit sore but that's about it

Maybe you need to re-define your search term I found these - try searching for point of sale cardboard standee rather than big photo....

If you want it to last, get it backed with Corex rather than cardboard.

Thanks Brian, great to hear that from someone who has ordered from a company. That might have swung it for me I'm always wary of ordering something new like this without any form of knowing the quality!
