What is Wheatpasting?

Wheatpasting is a street art technique that involves adhering paper or posters to outdoor surfaces, typically using a mixture of wheat flour and water as an adhesive. It is a form of advertising as it allows individuals or businesses to promote their messages, products, or events in public spaces. By strategically placing eye-catching wheatpasted artworks in high-traffic areas, it captures the attention of passersby, effectively conveying promotional content and engaging with the urban audience. Wheatpasting acts as a visually compelling medium for advertising, enabling brands or individuals to reach a broader audience beyond traditional marketing channels.

What sized posters are used for wheat paste campaigns?

The size of posters used for wheatpasting campaigns can vary depending on the specific campaign objectives and the desired visual impact. However, common poster sizes for wheatpasting typically range from small to large formats. Here are some commonly used poster sizes for our wheatpasting campaigns:

Small Posters: Small posters, typically measuring around 11×17 inches (28 cm by 43 cm) or smaller, can be effective for targeted wheatpasting campaigns in specific locations. They are often used for localized promotions or in areas with limited space for larger artwork.

Medium Posters: Medium-sized posters, such as our popular 18×24 100lb paper poster, offer a balance between visibility and manageability. They are versatile and can be effectively wheatpasted in various urban environments, attracting attention while still being relatively easy to handle and install.

Large Posters: Large-format posters, ranging from 24×48 and 48×72 and beyond, are impactful for wheatpasting campaigns that aim to create a significant visual presence. These larger posters are ideal for high-traffic areas or when a bold, attention-grabbing statement is desired.

It’s important to note that local regulations and permissions may dictate the maximum size allowed for wheatpasting in certain areas. It’s always advisable to adhere to local guidelines and seek appropriate permissions before conducting any wheatpasting campaign.
