like banners.
File Tips:
- No bleeds are necessary (unless ordering a banner stand that requires one).
- Set up size proportionate to the exact size banner you are ordering.
- To prevent any text or important images from falling on the hemline or interrupted by a grommet,
you will want to keep them at least 2" away from edge. - Convert all text to outlines
3' Banners:
Our 3' banners are finished at 33", not 36". This is due to the material size. If the full 36" is
required for you design please note there will be an additional $10 charge to have your banner
printed at the full 36"
Printing Process:
All products are printed in CMYK. If files are submitted in RGB, color shifting will take place. If a specific PMS color is needed, please let us know when you submit the order. We will do our best to meet that specified color.
