Berkeley Lab’s Earth & Environmental Sciences Area generally provides templates for many major presentations and events. In other cases, presenters can use their own poster template, as along as the appropriate acknowledgments and credits lines are included.

Poster Printing Services
The EESA Communications group supports poster printing by troubleshooting system/font issues, and providing print-ready graphics and technical illustrations. Depending on the level of demand and availability of resources within the Division, we can also do custom print jobs limited in size, scale, and materials. Please complete the Communications Service Request Form with at least a 2-day lead time or ahead of time to discuss your printing jobs.
Please note:
DURING PEAK poster printing season (such as during AGU in December), look for announcements regarding advanced lead times for printing requests. In such cases EESA Communications may need to outsource your request through the LBNL PA Creative Services (PA Creative) Office. Please refer to the non-Division printing discussion below.
When you are ready to print
Once you have printer-ready files, please submit an EESA Communications Request form and attach your original files (such as PowerPoint or other application) and a PDF that was created to 100% scale of the intended size of the poster. Please also specify the:
- Actual size you would like to have the poster printed out.
- Project/Activity ID #
- Date you need the poster to be completed and available for pickup
*If the file sizes (Original + PDF) exceed 10MB, try zipping the files or please contact us to set up a google drive or dropbox or other file transfer solution other than email.
**It is also good to double check your output/print to PDF file. The “save as PDF” option or “PDF writer” that you selected may have not have been set up to create the PDF to the full size.
Non-Division Printing
During the peak periods of poster printing (such as during AGU in December) or for requests using non-traditional materials, it may be necessary for us to outsource your print requests through the PA Creative Office.
Below is a chart with the various non-Division print options for a 40″ x 70″ sized poster.
