Product Searches (store.clinicalposters.com)  

Select your shopping preference. Each product page is tagged with alternate terms to locate desired results. (i.e. allergy, allergies, allergens, or allergist; dermatology, dermatologist, skin) Some terms are better than others for narrowing searches. For example, otolaryngology is more appropriate than ENT because these three characters are also found within many unrelated words.

1. Press Display button to browse alphabetical thumbnail images of all products or those within a selected category. This same option is presented on thumbnail search results, allowing you to quickly jump to a different category without returning to the main search page.


2. The Find button limits searches to product inventory matching a single keyword, item code or exact phrase. You can type partial words (any sequence of characters within words; i.e. "ology"). Product codes are case sensitive. No suggestions are offered for misspelled words or phrases that differ from consecutive words on product pages. This query method is well suited for specific terms like diabetes, heart attack or COPD. The same Find function is found on product pages.


3. The Search button is most forgiving when uncertain about the particular term. Products are prioritized first followed by related pages or articles elsewhere on the site. The Search Results page offers basic (not from a medical dictionary) suggestions for misspelling and is not as concerned about the order of words in a phrase. Additional options are presented in the upper right corner for advanced search options (this AND that OR other).


4. Press List Inventory button to view a text list of all categories from which you can drill down to each product.

With either search method, clicking one of the results opens a (product) page with more information.

Product Pages  

Product image, title, description and ISBN numbers are at the top of the page. In most cases the "View more information in new tab/window" link opens this help page. Custom products or those dissimilar to the majority may open another page. If a rebate is offered, an additional link is visible. If the displayed page is not desired, scroll below to click on related items, type a new keyword within the Find field or use the back button and continue browsing search results.

Unless specifically stated, poster prices reflect unlaminated paper. Lamination is recommended to help protect against fading and surface marking. Lamination options are strongly recommended unless the poster will be mounted on board or framed. As is the case with anything from sneakers to window tinting, materials used can enhance longevity. Some laminates cost five times as much as others. Here are the details for options labeled Choose Lamination: (1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch)

Standard Gloss Laminate 1.5 mil with grommets
This is how the product generally comes from the factory. It includes metal rings ready for hanging. Framing is not recommended because of the grommets.
Premium Heavy Luster Laminate 3 mil without grommets
We use a double-thick satin sheen laminate (3 to 5 mil), impregnated with UV filters to minimize glare and prolong poster life. These ship without grommets so you have the choice of hanging as is or framing. Adhesive-back hangtabs are provided.
Imprint Standard Gloss Laminate 1.5 mil
Imprinting posters with a company logo and marketing message is a great way to have your brand visibly displayed throughout the year. Grommets are optional but since they add to the weight and thickness, they are not generally recommended for high volume printing.

Adhesive-Back Hang Tab Each grommetless Heavy Luster Laminate Posters comes with two hangtabs for hanging without piercing the surface.

Displayed price is for the product as described with default options. Increasing the quantity, selecting available lamination or frame does not change the price on the page. When the Add to Cart button is pressed the correct price with selected options is displayed in the shopping cart.

You may order include a frame with your poster selection. The Secure Slide-In Frame is offered because it is not only very attractive but protects posters from skewing, falling or theft.

Search Categories  

Some products can rightly be placed in multiple categories but we had to decide upon one. The table below is helpful for locating common items when using the category menu. If the search expression is typed into the Find field, results will contain all related products regardless of their assigned category. "Spanish" is not a category per se since their poster topics are varied. Perform a keyword search for "espanol" to locate them.
