Starting a wheat-pasting campaign in your city is simple and straightforward. First, you’ll need your design files sized either 48×72 (jumbo) or 24×36 (standard). From there, you can choose the campaign duration and brainstorm the neighborhoods or areas where you’d like your posters to be concentrated. Finally selecting a comfortable budget that aligns with your brand’s overall goals and desired level of impact.

  • Getting started with wheatpasting firsts boils down to the design and poster size you are most interested in. We offer 24×36 and 48×72 posters. Clients can either have the design made by our team or submit the design of their choice. Designs take 15-30 minutes for our team to review before they go into production.

  • Once confirmed all designs are sent into production where we await the finished posters. Once ready posters will begin being installed at all chosen areas, neighborhoods, and areas across the city. Posters are installed in a chosen format advised by the client at each location

Common Questions

  • Wheat pasting (sometimes called “wheat‑paste,” “poster pasting,” or “paste‑ups”) is a method of adhering paper posters or printed artworks onto walls, fences, construction hoardings, and other surfaces using a paste made from wheat flour (or starch) and water (or variants of that). This paste is applied to the back of the paper (or sometimes to both paper and wall surface) and then smoothed onto the intended surface. Over time, the paste dries and “sticks” the paper to the wall.

  • Here are places & neighborhoods where wheat‑paste / wild poster (street‑poster) campaigns commonly run in San Francisco— plus some useful caveats around what’s legal / risky.

  • Wheat pasting exists in a gray area. Wheatpasting in San Francisco is generally illegal on public property without specific permits, but it becomes legal on private property if you have explicit written permission from the owner, who might rent out space on construction sites or vacant storefronts for this purpose. While it’s a common marketing tactic across San Francisco permission from property owners is often required for legal placement. Our team is experienced in navigating the city’s landscape to ensure campaigns run smoothly and effectively in both permitted and non permitted areas.

  • The most effective wheat-paste posters in San Francisco are bold, fast-to-read, and visually striking — designed to cut through the city's chaos and grab attention from fast-moving pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The 24×36 posters you will notice have more areas for placement for these over the jumbo sized posters.

  • Pricing varies based on the number of posters, target neighborhoods, and how long the campaign runs. Costs include printing, paste materials, and professional installation. We offer clear, customized quotes for each campaign.

  • Wheat paste posters can last from several days to a few weeks, depending on the weather and surface conditions. In San Francisco, wheat pasting isn’t as competitive as it is in other cities. So brands will find that their posters stay visible longer in the streets of San Francisco than they would in another city.

  • We can usually prepare and launch a campaign within just a few days, depending on its size and scope. For brands needing a fast turnaround, rush installations are available to get you on the streets quickly. Our team prints wheatpaste posters in 24-48 hours depending on sizes.

  • Yes we oversee both the printing and installation for all campaigns. Prices for both are included in all quotes shared.
