Full-Body Impact: Life Size Cutouts That Capture Attention in Toronto
Jun
Life size cutouts are one of the most engaging and fun ways to promote products, events, and people. Whether it’s a celebrity standee, a mascot display, or a photo-op prop, these large custom cutouts grab attention and make a lasting impression.
At Hi 5 Canada, we print life size cutouts directly with UV flatbed printers, creating vivid, durable, and professional-quality displays — perfect for marketing, retail, or events.
What are Life Size Cutouts?
Life size cutouts (also known as a standee) are full-body display printed on a rigid board and cut to the shape of a person, character, or object. Typically between 4 to 7 feet tall, these standees are popular at trade shows, retail stores, red-carpet events, parties, and exhibitions.
They can feature people, products, logos, or mascots, and are usually freestanding with a foldable back support or mounted on a base.
Printing Life-Size Cutouts with a UV Flatbed Printer
Using a UV flatbed printer, we print your design directly onto rigid materials such as:
Foam board
PVC (Sintra) board
The UV ink is cured instantly by ultraviolet light, bonding to the surface for a vivid, high-definition finish that won’t peel, scratch, or fade. The result is a full-color, life-size display that looks amazing from every angle.
Advantages of UV Flatbed Printing for Life Size Cutouts
UV flatbed printing offers significant benefits compared to traditional vinyl-mount or laminated prints.
| Feature | UV Flatbed Printing | Traditional Printing (Vinyl Mounting) |
|---|---|---|
| Print Quality | Direct printing with sharp, vibrant colors | Dependent on vinyl and adhesive quality |
| Durability | Scratch, moisture, and UV-resistant | Can peel, bubble, or fade |
| Speed | Direct-to-board printing saves production time | Slower, requires extra mounting step |
| Cost Efficiency | No vinyl or lamination materials needed | Higher material and labor costs |
| Versatility | Prints on foam board, coroplast and more | Limited to vinyl-compatible surfaces |
Because there’s no need to print and mount vinyl, UV flatbed printing produces cleaner edges, smoother surfaces, and a more professional finish — ideal for custom standee printing.
