Car poster sizes, explained

Every car poster we print comes in three sizes — A3, A2 and 50×70 cm — and the right one depends on the wall, not the artwork. Here is the honest sizing logic we use ourselves.

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

The desk-and-shelf size. A3 works above a workspace, on a gallery wall of several prints, or in tight spots between furniture. It is also the natural size for the Silhouette Era set — four A3s in a row make a timeline of car design across one wall. Paper sizes follow the international ISO 216 standard, so A3 frames are everywhere and cheap.

A2 — 42 × 59.4 cm

The sofa-and-bed size. A2 holds its own above a headboard or a two-seater, and it is the size where fine detail starts to pay off — the linework in our blueprint car art reads properly at arm's length from A2 up.

50 × 70 cm — the statement

The feature-wall size. If the print is the room's main event — a man cave centrepiece, an empty stair wall — 50×70 cm is the minimum that commands the space. Garages and dens with viewing distance want this size; see our man cave wall art guide for layout ideas.
