No. These have to be ordered through a display vendor. You can view a list of licensed vendors on Penn State’s licensing website. 4Imprint and Displays2Go are two vendors that we use often for these displays.  

We do not offer cutting services. If you chose a width other than 24” or 36” your poser/banner will have white space around the image, and you will still be charged for the full size of the paper. If you would like it cut to size, you will have to do that yourself.

The Multimedia Print Center does have the ability to cut to custom sizes. They are located in the Hostetter Business Services Building. https://multimediaprint.psu.edu/.  

Yes. The request form will ask for your ASA PO number or Penn State budget information. If you are paying with a budget number, your unit will not be charged until the end of the month. If you are paying with a Purchase Order, you will need to go to the ASA Office in the HUB to pick up a Purchase Order and bring it to use in the Student Organization Printing Support office prior to or at the time you pick up your poster.  

If you are paying with a budget number, your unit will receive an invoice from us at the end of the month. It will happen automatically, and you do not need to take any additional steps. If you also need a receipt for your finance office, we provide that, by request, at the time of pick up.  

A purchase order is a document that verifies that you have funds in your ASA account, which is the financial account for your student organization. To get a purchase order, you must go to the ASA office in 240 HUB-Robeson Center and let them know the final cost of your poster. They will give you the paperwork and you will bring that along when you pick up your poster. The funds will be removed from your organization’s account at the end of the month. 

In order to qualify for a free poster, a group must be a recognized student organization and the poster must promote an upcoming event. We will ask for your current 25Live event confirmation number when you submit your poster request. Please submit the 25Live confirmation number for your event room reservation, not a table or poster spot reservation. If your event is being held off campus, you may not have a confirmation number. Please let us know the location of your event when submitting your order. If it is not clear from the content of your poster what even you are promoting, we may ask for clarification. Keep in mind that posters must list the name of the recognized student organization sponsoring the event. 

No. We require payment prior to picking up your poster. You can pay ahead of time or at the time you pick up, but we will not give you your poster without payment.

If your poster has already been printed, you are responsible for paying for a reprint due to any mistakes in the file you provided. If the poster was a free poster, you will be required to pay the appropriate cost for the reprint. We cannot offer a second free poster due to a mistake with the file that was provided. Please proof carefully before sending your file. 

For Student Organization posters that are stolen or damaged from the HUB poster stands. Student Organization Printing Support will reprint at no cost to the student 1 time only. We will reprint the number of posters initially requested and damaged. If posters are damaged again, the student organization or an individual must pay.

If posters are damaged or stolen from other locations, the student organization or individual is responsible for payment for any reprints. 

Reprints will still require a 2-day turnaround for printing. 

If you will be reserving a poster space in the HUB for your poster, the size must be 24"x 36" vertical and the poster must clearly and visibly state the name of the student organization sponsoring the event. Please read the full specifications and guidelines for signage in the HUB-Robeson Center (under "sign and poster policies." )
