Release Year | This is the release date of the
poster. Note: This can be different to the original release
date of the movie (which is shown in brackets after
the movie title). A poster's Release Year can be different to the film's original release date for a number of reasons: - The movie was released in a different year in Japan than in it's original country - The movie was re-released at a later date (which is quite common in Japan for popular films) As a poster's age affects the price, we show the age in brackets after the poster release date. This is why two quite similar posters for the same movie can have different prices. |
Foreign Movies | Posters are roughly categorised into 3
sections: Western Movies: Movies in the English language Japanese Movies: Movies produced in Japan Foreign Movies: For want of a better description, these are movies that are not Japanese and are not in the English language |
Bi-fold | A double-size poster folded in half to
create two "pages" - both of B5 size. usually this is used to
provide additional information about the movie on the two interior
sides, but sometimes can be used to promote two separate movies,
with one on the front page and one on the back. Occasionally deluxe
versions are produced such as Tri-fold (3xB5), Quad-fold (4xB5) or
more. Some fold out to create larger-size posters. Examples: Alice in Wonderland, Planet Terror |
Spot UV Overlay | Spot UV refers to the application of a UV Coating to a specific
area (or areas) rather than coating the entire surface. Used
primarily as a design technique, Spot UV is a creative way to add
depth and contrast through varying levels of sheen and texture. Examples: Immortals, Gwendoline |
Die-cut | Where an area of the poster has been cut out to produce a
custom-shaped poster. Examples: Robocop, The Descent |
Metallic Ink | Reflective metallic ink has been used on the poster to create a
premium quality poster that shines in the light. This
reflective quality generally cannot be shown in our images. Examples: Goldmember, American Psycho, Wanted |
Mylar print | These are created by printing the poster design on top of a thin
sheet of plastic called mylar which has been covered in either
silver or gold metallic paint. The result is a unique 3D or mirrored
effect. Examples: Battlefield Earth |
Compression lines | Where light diagonal indentations have been made in the poster during the printing process. These are not creases, and are mostly unnoticeable when the poster is laid flat. They are regarded as a minor flaw, and are not seen in posters from the past 30 years. |
