The Papers & Boards: Printing A1 poster is an engaging and highly visual classroom resource designed to help students understand the main printing methods used in industry. Covering colour printing, offset lithography, screen printing, flexography and gravure, this poster breaks down each technique with clear explanations, diagrams and real-world examples that support both theory and practical lessons.

Students learn how printing plates are prepared, how CMYK colour printing works, and how different methods suit different products—such as magazines, newspapers, packaging, posters and high-quality artwork. The chart uses bright visuals and easy-to-follow steps to make these manufacturing processes accessible to learners at all levels.

Its large, colourful A1 layout is perfect for:

• Design & Technology classrooms

Important Update on Lamination:

We are transitioning to a new, thinner lamination as part of our supplier’s commitment to sustainable and cost-effective production. While you may receive a mix of older and newer laminations during this period, rest assured that both versions maintain the same high-quality standard you expect from Daydream Education.

We appreciate your feedback on the updated lamination to help us refine this change. Feel free to share your thoughts—we value your input!

Thank you for supporting our move towards more sustainable practices.
