Research Posters

LBC retired the in-house service of poster printing in December 2025. Listed below is information about typical poster dimensions and printing locations. 

Poster Dimensions

  • For LBC course-based posters and most conferences, the printed poster is 48 inches wide by 36 inches tall.
  • For UURAF and Mid-SURE, your poster must be printed 40 inches wide by 32 inches tall. 

Helpful note: make sure you change slide or page dimensions in your design software to match the ratio of the finished product, e.g. 4:3 for a 48x36 in. poster, or 5:4 for a 40x32 UURAF poster. 

  • In PowerPoint, go to Design, then Slide Size.
  • In Google Slides, go to File: Page Setup, then select a size.
  • In Canva, specifically design your file dimensions to be the page size. 

Printing Locations

Consider printing your poster through the MSU Library, the Erickson Print & Copy Center, or Office Depot. Each will take different forms of payment.
